Follow these steps carefully to unlock your Redmi phone:

1. Turn Off the Phone

Press and hold the Power button until the "Power Off" option appears. Tap it to shut down the device.

2. Enter Recovery Mode

Press and hold the Volume Up + Power buttons together. Release the Power button as soon as the Mi logo shows up, but keep holding Volume Up until the recovery menu appears.

3. Wipe Data

Use the Volume Down button to navigate to the "Wipe Data" option. Press the Power button to select it.

4. Confirm Data Wipe

Select "Wipe All Data" (this is irreversible). Press Power to confirm. Wait for the process to finish (it takes a few minutes).

5. Reboot and Set Up

Once data wipe is done, select "Reboot System Now" using the Power button. Follow the on-screen prompts to set up your phone again (you can skip adding a password temporarily, but set a new one later).

To prevent forgetting your password again:

Combine Biometrics with Password: Use fingerprint or face unlock alongside a password (biometrics can fail, so a backup is essential).
Store Password Safely: Write your password in a secure notebook or use a trusted password manager like Google Password Manager.
Enable Find My Device: This feature lets you unlock your phone remotely without data loss (set it up in Settings > Security).
