PIN-locked my "Lenovo" HU. Cannot unlock it, should I erase?
Hey everyone,
I recently bought this Head Unit
More photos here:
I have no idea which machine or launcher it is, as I'm sure it has been rebranded and it's not even a Lenovo.
I wanted to add a pin lock, just in case I leave the car at a Parking facility.
The launcher does not offer access to android settings but I managed to access them after some installed app moved me to some part of the settings. From there, although I think the security options were not visible, I found them using the search feature.
I enabled a simple pin lock, which I am very certain I keyed in correctly, twice.
After rebooting the machine, I cannot get past the pin lock.
The machine boots, steering wheel controls work, but i cannot get past the pin lock.
I sent an email to the local shop, but i don't have high hopes
I do not have the option to bypass the pin by entering gmail passwords, it just keeps letting me try one password every 30sec.
PS.
Here are two photos of my situation, where you can see the pin lock over the launcher:

- Is there any chance the unit has some pre-defined screen lock that i should try?
- From where I stand, i can only erase the unit from "find my phone". Should i go ahead and do it or will it also remove all the installed launcher and apps?
- Lastly, can anyone recognize the type of the unit and the name of the launcher, so i can search for more resources?
PS.
