i got my new fairphone 3 yesterday, sadly it is locked with a code and also in chinese. sure the laguage change gonna be alright, but what about the code to actually open the phone?
Did you buy your phone with Fairphone or a reseller?
Contact them, there’s no way the community can help with that.

and i bought i directly from the fairphone website 
Unless you turned on the phone, set a code & language, then turned it off and forgot all about it I don’t think a mistake like that is even possible.

no, i hope i would remember that 
so i will wait for answer, thank you!
Maybe they forgot to reset the phone after performing some basic tests for functionality in the factory in China. I would expect them to do that with the random phone for ensuring quality.
I really feel for you, having waited for so long and now being locked out. 
But maybe you can take it with a little laugh as well. With your luck, you should play the lottery.

Did you try 0000 and 1234?
Or is it a pattern?

Thank you so much, I tried so many options and forgot the 0000. And it worked. Great!

Nice!
I was about to tell you to go to recovery but 0000 is a simpler solution 
Don’t forget to reset everything. Just go in the Android Settings -> System -> Advanced -> Reset Options -> Erase all data.

I only remembered because I was exactly in the same position as you are, just three months ago By the way, I only tried 0000 and not 1234 (which was the right one in my case) until Fairphone suggested to try that.
