How to Hard Reset & Bypass Screen Lock on the Tecno Spark 30C

 If you're locked out of your Tecno Spark 30C—whether due to a forgotten password, passcode, or because the touchscreen is unresponsive—a hard reset (factory reset) via Recovery Mode can restore access. Be aware, however, this will erase all data on the device and may require your Google account credentials after the reset.

💻 Method 3: Hard Reset Using a PC via ADB (Alternate Option)

Use this if button combos don’t work or Recovery isn't functional:

Install ADB (Android Debug Bridge) on your computer.

👇 Alternative Unlock Ways?

A few forums mention third‑party PC tools that claim to remove screen locks and wipe data automatically, but these are not always reliable and often still perform a full factory reset with data loss.

Some legacy tips (e.g. deleting gesture.key) don't apply to Android 14-based devices like the Spark 30C.
