MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Viwoods AiPaper Mini suddenly stopped accepting my lock-screen passcode

Update: It finally worked.

I was able to enter Android Recovery via ADB and perform a factory reset. The strange part was that the first attempts didn’t seem to change anything, and I kept ending up back at the same lock screen.

After several tries, the recovery/reset procedure eventually completed properly and the device started normally again. I can now use the AiPaper Mini again.

So in my case, the device was not permanently locked and it also wasn’t an FRP issue in the end.

Viwoods support provided the official recovery procedure.

Thanks to everyone who replied and tried to help.
