Forgot the password from the Mi Account and can not log out of the account on the Xiaomi smartphone? the situation is familiar to many users, especially after buying a used device or a long break in use. Blocking an account on Redmi, POCO or Mi can turn into a real headache if you do not know proven ways of bypassing.

In this article, we will discuss 5 working methods for logging out of a Xiaomi account without a password, from standard reset features to advanced technical solutions via ADB and Fastboot. Importantly, not all methods are universal – their effectiveness depends on the device model, MIUI version and account status (is it tied to the device as the main one).

⚠️ Note: All of the methods described, except for official password recovery, can result in a loss of warranty or locking the device if executed incorrectly.If the phone is purchased from hand, make sure it is not on the Xiaomi blacklist. IMEI.

1. Official Recovery of Mi Account Password

Before resorting to drastic measures, try to restore access in a legal way. Xiaomi provides several password reset options if you have access to a linked email or phone number.

• 📱 Po Po Po SMS — The code message is sent to the associated number, only works if the number has not changed.
• 🔑 Through backup email – if the main mailbox is not available, you can use a spare mailbox.

If none of these methods worked (for example, you don’t remember the attached data), move to alternative methods. Importantly, after successfully restoring your password, log out of your account in your phone settings (Settings → Xiaomi Account → Sign out).

2.Reset through Recovery Mode

The most common way to get around locking is a hard factory reset, which works on most Xiaomi devices, but has a critical limitation: if the account was tied to the device (Find Device is active), after the reset, the phone will require you to enter the same account data for activation.

Bypassing the lock through ADB (for unlocked bootloader)

If your Xiaomi has a Bootloader Unlocked, you can delete your account through ADB, a debugging tool for Android.

Step-by-step:

1. Download and install Platform Tools (includes ADB and Fastboot).
2. Activate Developer Mode on your phone (7 times click on the MIUI version in Settings → About Phone) and enable Debugging over USB.
3. Connect your phone to your PC through USB-cable (original!).
4. Open the command line in the ADB folder and execute the commands: adb devices (you should display your device) adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.account
5. Reboot your phone. The Mi Account app will be removed and you can create a new account.

🔧 Technical Note: On some of the firmware MIUI Instead of deleting your account, you may need to reset your data:

adb shell pm clear com.xiaomi.account

This command clears the cache and settings of the application, but does not remove it completely.

4. Delete your account via Fastboot (for a blocked bootloader)

If the bootloader is locked but you have access to Fastboot mode, you can try flashing a modified boot.img that bypasses account verification, a risky method that requires you to follow the instructions accurately.

• 📱 Modified boot.img For your model (see the forums) XDA Developers or 4PDA).
• 🔌 Original. USB-cable.

3. Unlock boot (unlocked boot boot!): fastboot flashing unlock
4. Modified boot.img: fastboot flash boot.img
5. Reboot the phone: fastboot reboot

5. Use of service codes and engineering menus

On some Xiaomi models (especially older ones, before MIUI 10), you can bypass the locking of an account through service codes or an engineering menu.

Try these combinations:

If you open a menu after you enter the code, look for sections like Account, Reset or Factory Reset. Some firmware has a Remove Account option that allows you to delete your Mi Account without a password.

📌 Note: On new devices (MIUI 12+) Service codes are usually blocked or do not affect the account. Do not enter codes at random - this can cause malfunctions in the phone.

6. Contact Xiaomi Support

If all of these efforts fail, the official path is to appeal for Xiaomi, which is the safest, but also the longest way, and you need to prove ownership of the device.

What needs to be done:

1. Prepare the papers: 📄 Check or purchase invoice (if the phone is new). 📱 IMEI Devices (you can find out via *#06# or on the box). 📧 Email linked to your account (if you remember).
2. Write in support: 🌍 via the official website (Contact Us section). 📧 By email: support@xiaomi.com (for global versions or support.ru@xiaomi.com (for Russia).
3. Describe the situation in as much detail as possible: When and where the phone was bought; why you can't log out; what methods have you tried before.

The time frame for processing the request is 3 days to 2 weeks, and if the documents are in order, support can:

• 🔓 Reset the account binding to the device.
• 📧 Provide instructions for unlocking.
• 🔧 Redirect to a service center (if physical intervention is required).

⚠️ Note: If the phone was bought from hand and the previous owner did not untie the account, Xiaomi can refuse to help.

Official support is the only legal way to unlock if you are unsure of your technical skills, and the risk of the device being manipulated by yourself remains your responsibility.
