Dear Sir,
I have read useful tips about YU5530.
I am facing problem of message on screen ” please enter privacy restriction password to unlock ” for unlocking the phone, which i may have forgotten / may not be knowing.
I have tried factory reset but to no purpose. Quick Heal antivirus customer care also did not help me in this regard. I am totally stuck. Is there any solution and you can provide guide lines to restart my phone and oblige.
With regards.
