If you cannot do this on your device, I suggest you let a technician who is an expert in Android devices (especially for China ones) check and fix the issue for you. Alternatively, you can contact the manufacturer directly, and obtain their software update, and a link to the program you'll need to install on your PC to perform a software assisted Factory Reset.

I forgot my password on my Android Razr M screen lock how do I get into it without factory resetting my phone?

Put screen lock on the phone, forgot password, have Google account but don't know how to reset it through my email does not bring up "the forgot password" option, it just says if I keep attempting it, it's going to reset my password.

You can easily reset your password through the Google Account Recovery Portal. Just follow the link, and then enter your details and information to confirm your ownership of the account. Once you've done this, Google will remotely reset your password for you, and you'll be able to regain access to your password locked Motorola Razr M, Android phone.

My HTL China Android phone gets stuck when I power on it?

Lately, I installed next launcher and when I press the home button it won't respond, when I restart it, it only turns on to show HTL logo but does not go any further. How can I restore it to the company launcher.

You can restore by hard resetting the device. Be very wary of launchers that are not your stock or a custom OS build launcher. These often hard brick a device as just an accessory app/apk.
