How to unlock your Android phone’s Password, Pattern or Pin if you forget it?

                                                             

How many of you have also forgotten your mobile password, pin or pattern? Yesterday, I met my friend who just comes by formatting his Android Smartphone just because of forgetting his mobile pattern. It becomes a tedious task to setting up your mobile phone again from a scratch.

  

Do you think mobile is useless after forgetting your password? If you think yes then you are wrong. There is always way to make your mobile phone usable by doing simple trick, as long as you remember Google’s account username and password, so let’s do it..

To try this feature, first enter an incorrect pattern, pin or password for 5 times at the lock screen. You will see “Forgot Pattern”, “Forgot pin” or “Forgot Password” button appear on the screen. Tap it, you will be supposed to enter the username or password of the Google account associated with your android device. Note that this feature was removed in Android 5.0 and UP. It means, there is no simple way to reset your pin, pattern, password to gain access to your phone or tablet rather than these provide functionality to protect your data from hackers.

Using Google’s Android Device Manager:

If your device has Google’s Android Device Manager enabled, you can visit the Android Device Manager website and log in with the same Google account you use on that Android device. Select the device you’re locked out of and select “Erase” to remotely erase it. You’ll be able to set it up from scratch afterwards — the lock code will be removed, but the device will also be wiped.

Factory Reset Your Android Smartphone:

Assuming you don’t have remembered Google’s account username or password, you should probably give up your data stored on device. You can get your device into usable state but you will lose your valuable data by using factory reset, setting up it again from a scratch.

If your device has removable SD card, you’ll probably want to remove the SD card before performing the factory reset, just to ensure that your SD card will not get formatted. It’s probably best to shut down your device, remove the SD card, and then continue.

You can also use few other tricks that might work. For example, on Samsung devices, if you’ve logged into the device with a Samsung account, you can go to the Samsung Find My Mobile website, log in with the same Samsung account, and use the “Unlock my screen” option to remotely remove your device’s lock screen. Other manufacturers might potentially offer similar features if they have a device-tracking website if you’ve signed up for.

It’s just enough for today, hope you will find this article useful, I will be back with some more stuff, so stay connected, Have a nice day!!!!
