Windows 10 phone: This device has been locked for security reasons. Connect your device to a power source for at least two hours, then restart it to try again.
Hi All, this is my very first post on
Windows 10 phone. I have a Windows 10 phone. Today, I saw following error
message on phone. It didn’t allow me to unlock my phone using 4 digit pin I had
set. The “Emergency calls” was the only option available to me.
Error: This device has
been locked for security reasons. Connect your device to a power source for at
least two hours, then restart it to try again.
I tried performing soft reboot but it
didn’t fix. After doing a bit of research, I found a solution. Make sure that
your phone is connected to Internet during this process. To fix this issue, follow
these steps:
- Launch https://account.microsoft.com/devices on a web browser on another PC/Tablet or a smart phone
- Login using your Microsoft account (it is the same account you’ve used to configure your phone).
- Once you’ve logged in, Select your phone.
- On the next page, click on Lock button.
- A box will appear asking to enter 6 digit pin, a number where you can be reached (optional) and a message to show on the screen.
- Type the 6 digit pin and something in message box like “Phone is locked”. Click on OK button.
- Restart your phone.
- Use the 6 digit pin to unlock your phone when it is prompted. You will find that error message disappeared and you can access your phone now.
