VLC Passcode doesn’t work

Postby Anas » 15 Jul 2024 15:23

So i did a passcode 2 months ago and i didn’t use the app for a while like a month or more, when i came back yesterday im putting the right password but it wont let me in, im putting all the possible passwords that i might have put but it won’t work , and lets just pretend i forgot the password, how do i get into vlc or even just get the videos inside the app?

(Sorry if this isn’t the right place to put my problem but i dont know)

The only way to reset the passcode is deleting the app and re-installing it, which will delete all your videos. To access them before, attach your device to a Mac or PC and use iTunes on older computers or the Finder / Explorer to access the files folders within VLC to copy them.

But i dont have any computer/mac, is there no other way to do that, like if you can somehow get inside there or something and just unlock the passcode, im sure im doing the right passcode why isnt it working then
