It’s always a good idea to use a lock screen to protect your phone
from unwanted access. Android has several options available for
preventing others from accessing your device, including pattern,
PIN, and password, etc. But what happen if you’re the one who
can’t access your phone? Well, here I’ll show you how to regain
access to your Android smartphone or tablet when you forget your
PIN, password, or pattern lock.
How to Bypass Screen Lock
1. Incorrectly enter your pattern for 5 times. On the fifth attempt,
you will get a message informing you that you must wait for 30
seconds before you can try again. Tap ‘Next’ and a button will
appear underneath the pattern grid that says ‘Forgot Pattern’.
Tap on it.
2. Next, you’ll get an option to choose whether you want to
unlock your phone through answering the security question that
you might have set when you used your device for the very first
time, or by entering your Google login details.
3. If you are using the security question, then simply type the
answer of the question and unlock your device quickly.
Otherwise check the Google account option and click ‘Next’.
Now, provide your Google account username and password
attached with your device and click on ‘Sign in’.
4. Once your security question answer or your Google ID is
verified, you will be given an option to choose your new security
lock, such as PIN code, pattern and password. Select the
security option that you prefer and enter your new password or
pattern.
5. That’s it! Now you will be able to use your new security lock
to unlock your phone.
In addition to pattern lock, this method also work with the PIN
and password lock screen security. As long as you know, your Google
account credentials it’s not really a big deal if your forget. However,
if you don’t know your Google account credentials, then you should
do a factory reset in order to unlock your Android phone or tablet.
