3. Forgot Pattern
If you’re using Android 4.4 or lower version on your handset, then you can try out the Forgot Pattern option. After trying 5 times (failed attempts), you will receive a notice like Try again in 30 seconds. Now, just tap on the Forgot Pattern option on your device and you will need to enter your Google Account credentials to sign in and unlock your device screen lock easily.
4. Do a Factory Reset
Though the Factory Reset option will delete all the data, settings, apps, etc from your device, it’s recommended to perform the factory reset to remove the screen lock as well. One thing is for sure that your device will work like almost like a new one after performing the factory reset.
The Factory Reset process varies depending on your device model or brand. However, most of the Android devices offer almost the same option to factory reset.
- Switch off your handset.
- Press and hold the Volume Down + Power button together for a few seconds until the bootloader/recovery menu appears.
- Now, use Volume buttons to navigate the options.
- Head over to the Recovery mode > Press Power button to select it.
- Press and hold the Power button & tap once the Volume Up button to enter your device into recovery mode.
- Use Volume buttons again to navigate to the Wipe data/factory reset option and press the Power button to select/confirm it.
- It will take some time to reset the device. Once done, restart your device normally.
- Mostly, the device reboots automatically into the system.
- Proceed to the initial setup process once the device boots up.
- You’re done. Enjoy!
5. Delete the Password File Using ADB
This method will only work if the USB Debugging mode is already enabled on your Android device. If not enabled, then skip to the next method. If the USB Debugging is already turned on, then connect your device to the PC using a USB cable.
- Open the Command Prompt in your ADB & Fastboot installed folder.
- Then type the following command and hit enter:
adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key
- Now, restart your device and the screen lock or password should be removed completely.
Note:
This is a temporary method. So, make sure to set a new PIN or Pattern lock on your device and then restart once.
