The situation is familiar to many users - blocking Mi Account becomes a real headache, especially if you do not have access to the original username and password. In this article, we will discuss all the current ways to delete Mi Account without login data, including official and technical methods.

It's important to understand that Xiaomi is actively fighting unauthorized deletion of accounts due to software restrictions. So some methods require unlocking the bootloader, flashing or even contacting the service center. We have only collected work solutions for 2026, confirmed by users on the 4PDA and Mi Community forums. But remember, not all methods are suitable for new models (for example, Xiaomi 13/14 series or Redmi Note 12), where protection is enhanced.

Why is your phone blocked and can you get around it?

Xiaomi’s Mi Account Lock (or FRP) system was introduced to protect user data from theft, and after resetting or flashing, the device requires the username and password from the last associated account to be entered, and this applies to all MIUI-based models, including:

• 📱 Xiaomi Mi 11/12/13 series and newer
• 📱 Redmi Note 10/11/12 redmi K50/K60
• 📱 POCO F4/F5 and other devices MIUI 13/14

Bypass the lock is possible, but the difficulty level depends on the version of MIUI and the model:

⚠️ Attention: On devices with MIUI 14 and later (for example, Xiaomi 14 or Redmi Note 13) most of the “folk” methods do not work. the manufacturer has tightened the control of the bootloader, and to unlock will require official permission through the Mi Unlock Tool or contact the service.

Method 1: Officially delete your Mi Account through Xiaomi

If you have access to an email or phone linked to your account but you have forgotten your password, try to restore access through the official website:

1. Go to the recovery page: account.xiaomi.com/pass/forgetPassword.
2. Enter the email or phone number associated with the account.
3. Confirm your identity via SMS or code letter.
4. Create a new password and log in to your phone.

If your account is not yours (like a handheld phone), this method won't work, so you can get to the technical ones.

Method 2: Delete Mi Account via Fastboot (for older models)

The method is suitable for devices on MIUI 10-12 with an unlocked bootloader. If the bootloader is locked, you will first need to unblock it through the Mi Unlock Tool (but this requires an account tied to the phone - a vicious circle).

Instructions:

Install the drivers. ADB/Fastboot PC-only|Download the archive with the utility miflash_unlock|Connect your phone in Fastboot mode (clip Volume Down) + Nutrition)|Turn off driver signature verification in Windows (if required)

-->

1. Download the archive with the Mi Account Remove Tool (check the relevance of the version!).
2. Unpack the archive and launch it. remove_mi_account.bat.
3. Connect your phone in Fastboot mode (on the device turned off, press Volume Down + Power).
4. Enter the command in the command line: fastboot oem clean_frp Or (some models) fastboot erase frp
5. Reboot your phone with the command fastboot reboot.

⚠️ Attention: On new devices (MIUI 13+) team clean_frp This may not work because of the locking by Xiaomi servers. EDL (see next section).

💡

If the fastboot oem team clean_frp misstep FAILED (remote: unknown command, so your model doesn't support this method. Try an alternative method using fastboot erase persist (but this can lead to loss of the system). IMEI!).

Method 3: Unlocking through EDL and TestPoint modes (for power users)

EDL (Emergency Download Mode) is the most reliable method for new models, but requires physical access to the phone card (TestPoint closure) or an authorized account for firmware via Mi Flash.

Step-by-step:

• 🔧 Download the firmware for your model from the Xiaomi Firmware Updater website (choose the Fastboot version).
• 🔧 Install the Qualcomm 9008 driver (for Snapdragon-powered phones) or MediaTek (for devices on Snapdragon processors) MTK).
• 🔧 Put the phone in mode. EDL: For Snapdragon: close TestPoint (you need to parse the phone) or use the command adb reboot edl (if you need to reboot edl). ADB For MediaTek: we use the utility. MTK Bypass.
• 🔧 Swipe your phone through Mi Flash with a clean all and lock tick (this will delete your Mi Account but block the bootloader!).

Once the firmware is in place, the phone will look like new, but the bootloader will lock, and to unlock it later, you will need an official Mi Unlock Tool and a wait of 7-15 days (if the account is not tied to the device).

Method 4: Recovery bypass (only for MIUI 10–11)

On the old versions. MIUI (Up to 12th inclusive, you can try to drop it. FRP-lockdown through custom recovery (TWRP). The method works if:

1. Download your phone to TWRP (clip Volume Up + Power).
2. Connect to your PC and execute the command: adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key rm /data/system/locksettings.db rm /data/system/locksettings.db-wal rm /data/system/locksettings.db-shm
3. Reset your phone. If the lock is still there, run through it. TWRP ZIP-file-delete FRP (look 4PDA).

⚠️ Attention: MIUI 12.5+ This method often results in a knock, because the system checks the integrity of the system files!

Method 5: Contact Xiaomi Service Center

If all of the above methods fail, the official way is to contact Xiaomi Service Center, which is the only legal way to delete someone else’s Mi Account without risking damage to the phone.

What will be required:

• 📄 Document of purchase (check, contract of sale).
• 📄 Passport of the owner (if the phone is purchased from hand – the passport of the previous owner or his written consent).
• 📄 IMEI Devices (can be found via *#06# or on the box).

The service center will send a request to Xiaomi, and if the documents are in order, the account will be deleted within 3-4 working days. the cost of the service is from 1,000 to 3,000 rubles (depending on the region).
