Before You Start
Prerequisites: Access to **Settings** in the locked instance.; The unlock script from the LDPlayer support article.
Step-by-Step
- Open Settings in the locked instance.
- Open Other settings.
- Check Enable for Root permission.
- Set ADB debugging to Open local connection.
- Click Save settings.
- Restart the emulator.
- Open each locked instance. If more than one is locked, open them at the same time.
- Open the locked-screen article on the [LDPlayer support site](https://www.ldplayer.net/support/how-to-solve-locked-screen.html), then download the unlock script from it.
- Double-click the script to run it.
- Wait until the script shows its completion screen.
- Restart the emulator.
## Overview
Some instances lock automatically and ask for a password, even when you never set one. This guide enables root permission and an ADB setting in the locked instance. It then runs an unlock script from the LDPlayer support article. Read the notes before you change these settings.
## Why this works
The steps change two settings first, then run a script. The script probably needs the access that root permission and ADB provide. The source does not describe what the script does, so check it before you run it.
## What to expect
After the final restart, the screen should unlock without a password prompt. If the prompt returns, check that the script reached its completion screen and that you restarted the emulator after running it.
## Verify
The screen unlocks after the restart, and no password prompt appears.
## Common mistakes
- Running a script from another website.
- Closing the script before its completion screen.
- Skipping the restart after you change the settings or run the script.
- Leaving Root permission and ADB open after the fix is done.
## When not to use this
If your instance does not show a password prompt, skip these steps. Root permission and an open ADB connection are not needed for normal use. Note the current values in Other settings before you change them, so you can restore them later.
## Security note
Security note: Root permission and an open local ADB connection lower the security of the instance. Any app or tool that can reach them gains more control over the instance. To revert, return to Other settings, turn off Root permission, set ADB debugging back to its previous option, and restart the emulator.
## Notes
- Root permission and an open ADB connection lower the security of the instance. Turn them off in Other settings when you no longer need them.
- Run only the script from the LDPlayer support article. Do not run scripts from other sites.
- The source does not describe the script’s contents. Needs review: verify the script before you publish this guide.
- Needs review: source content is limited.
