The process for an XHide password reset depends entirely on whether you are using the built-in privacy feature found on Infinix and TECNO devices or a third-party application with a similar name. Because these tools are designed for high-level security, they do not always offer a traditional "forgot password" link to prevent unauthorized access.
If the app allows it, link your XHide to a Google or HiAccount for cloud recovery.
If the option isn't visible, try entering an incorrect password multiple times until the recovery prompt appears. Answer your security question accurately.
