To prevent unwanted access to your phone, it is always wise to set security measures in place. By design, Android devices come with very nifty built-in security features that you can set up to protect your device from prying eyes.
Two of the most commonly used security measures are the pattern lock and the personal identification number (PIN). Unfortunately, you may be locked out of your own Android device due to, say, a forgotten password or an impenetrable yet too complicated pattern lock. A cause for panic, to be sure, but only a minor one as you can bypass these security measures and break into your Android device so you can use it again. Read the notification. If you have incorrectly tried to unlock your device more than five times, your device will notify you that the pattern has been attempted beyond the allowed wrong tries. At this point, the device will notify you that you will need to wait for thirty seconds before attempting again. Follow the instructions on your device’s screen.
Depending on your device, options may vary in order to recover your forgotten unlock pattern. The device may prompt you to answer a security question that you had provided during the setting up of the pattern.
Alternatively, you may be prompted to provide your Gmail account address, and Google will then send you your forgotten pattern. Set up a new unlock pattern. Choosing the security question option will reset the unlock pattern, and this will give you the option of setting up a new unlock pattern. It may be wiser to use a pattern that’s easier for you to remember.
Taking the Gmail option, just log into your Gmail account, and check your inbox for the email Google sent you, which will contain your current unlock pattern.
1.Make sure your Android device is online. This method works only if your device is connected to the Internet, and it is signed into your Google account. If you wish to retain the data on your device, using a lock bypass app is the viable option. However, there is no guarantee that the app will work for your particular device.
2.Open the Google Play Store on your PC browser. The app recommended is Screen Lock Bypass Pro. Just enter the app name in the Search bar, and click on “Search.” Once you have found the app, click on “Buy,” and then “Install.” The application will automatically be sent to your device, and get installed.
3.Reboot your device. Once the app installation is complete, reboot the device and a screen will appear with an “Activate” button. Click on the button to effectively reset your password or PIN on your lock screen.
