Unlock Android Phone if you Forgot PIN Password or Screen Lock
The Google Android operating system offers ways to protect your data. Setting up the mobile password or the screen lock is good but what happens if you forget the password or the PIN model that we have developed.
There are two methods by which you can bypass the locked instances on your mobile phones.
Method 1 – Android OS General Solution
Google Android has one good feature by which when you want to retrieve your PIN, password or unlock model you have 5 attempts which is the maximum limit set to reset your password. After five attempts you will be asked to reset your password if your setting is valid during the process of password restoration, you will be asked to set a new password or the PIN.
When you forget lock pattern on your phone then you need to hard reset your device.
Method 2 – Screen Lock Bypass
The Screen Lock Bypass Android app is an application which allows users to unlock the lock patterns or PIN wherein the devices doesn’t provide option to reset your password using the Google Account.
But the important question is how will you install this application on your phone? It can be done by login into the Android Market on your PC or laptop and installing this app by transferring using the USB cable and this application will work to remove or reset your PIN/pattern which is a temporary lock to your device. This application will bypass the locked screen all the time when you reboot your device and thereby it will allow users to take the backup of the data present.
This application will work for most of the Android based phones and Screen Lock Bypass can be easily downloaded at Android Apps Labs.

The solution above mentioned is not required as if we forgot pattern or pin then it asks to authenticate our google account. If user remembers that, he can login to the phone.
If user even dont remember his Google username/password, then he will also be not able to install SCREEN LOCK BYPASS application as you need your google account details to install an app from market place.
Pl provide a solution in case a user even dont remember his Google account details.????
The last resort is however going through recover mode and reset your phone. That will do it.

Just used the new paid version of Screen Lock Bypass called Screen Lock Bypass Pro. It was $2.00 and it worked flawlessly! No need to reset the phone once you’re in!! I give it 5 stars. You just download it from the market from your pc and once it installs on your phone, plug in your charger and poof! It takes you to a screen to manage/reset your password.

I went onto my email and went to forgot password, then recover new password at recovery email. If you don’t have a recovery email, like me, toto forgot password and answer security password. Make new password, then turn off then on phone. Type in email and new password. This is what worked for me

Hi. My samsung note got stolen but i did set a password on the phone itself. Is it possible for the theft to hack the phone w/o password or he could just hack it? Or does he need to reboot everything to reset the new password in order to access?
Thanks!!

I for got my pass word
But how does it work
i like this topic it more help full and clear to Every one
Just to avoid this, I started using Remote Screen Lock / Unlock – https://play.google.com/store/search?q=vipsha&c=apps and it’s working out like anything. It’s just like my life saver super super Admin Password. Kids can use regular password for day to day use and if they forget, can be used Super Admin Password. App is too smart so you need to understand well to get best of best out of it.
My sister locked her phone and its the pattern it won’t unlock we tried everything it won’t work…HELP?!??!?!
get into recovery mode to clear all the data and password will be removed
