	Hello, I have a HUAWEI Mate X5(Chinese mainland version) and forgot the password to lock the screen. I noticed that this article uses Aroma to delete files. Do I have to remove the machine before I can put Aroma into the memory card? If I can put Aroma into the memory card, does that mean I can directly put the corresponding "getekeeper"? pattern.key' Delete? I am very confused and looking forward to your answer. My email address and username are the same as aydenmeng@yeah.net
