Thank you bro

thank you sooooo much…..
I'm glad it works for you
Worked for me. Oshee
I'm happy it did.
Didn't work for me sir. It keeps going back to same prompt for privacy number
Oh sorry. That's really a different issue. You would need to change ROM
Worked. Thanks

My infinix hot 3 554 is locked and i have entered my password and it is asking me to enter the privacy protection password. I have tried what you outlined above but it takes me to XUI and goes back to asking me to enter my privacy protection password. What else can i do. I hope i get a reply. Thanks Chuks
Morning Chuks. please i have been unable to reset my infinix hot 3 554 using this steps. My husband took out my sim and wanted to check if his sim registration was complete that was how my phone got locked. it asking me to enter the privacy protection password. How can you help me please
Sorry about that. Just put back your SIM into your Hot 3. Privacy protection password is solely for your SIM.
Hello! I'm sorry about your situation. Infinix Privacy Protection Password is activated with a dedicated SIM. It prompts you to enter the password once the original SIM is replaced. This step works only for resetting lockscreen password, PIN or pattern and not Privacy Protection Password. Kindly take your phone to technician on the street for ROM replacement.
I hope you are cleared. I wish to write a guide for unlocking Privacy Protection Password soonest.
If it doesn't work, then try this.
Remember, when you bought the phone newly, you turned on Anti-theft settings by entering some PIN. Try and figure what PIN you first entered into your Hot 3 aside from lockscreen PIN.
If you couldn't remember, then try tapping on forget password if you can see it. Enter the email address and your email password that you used to receive email in your Infinix Hot 3 then log in. If you have not logged in with your email in your Hot 3, then meet a trusted phone technician.

You will lose your data on your phone memory during hard reset. Your pics on memory card will not be affected
I have tried what you outlined but it isn’t giving me the option to wipe data and factory reset. Rather it shows series of test options run and put failed. What else can I do? Thanks.
Hello Yemisi, you have to try Volume up and Power button not volume down + power button
