The Dhaka Times Desk Nowadays, in this era of smartphones, most of the people keep the phone screen locked to protect their information. There is also a tendency to forget the lockscreen pattern at times. What to do if you forget the screen lock password?
We keep most of the smartphone users with screen lock. Password or pattern code is required to unlock. Many phones also have a fingerprint scanner or face unlock feature. Through which it is possible to prevent the violation of privacy. Also, if the phone is stolen, fraudsters will not have access to your personal information, banking apps, e-mails, social media.
There is nothing to worry if you forget the password, pin or pattern of your smartphone and can't unlock it. You don't need to visit any service center. You can unlock these devices yourself at home.
Learn how to unlock Android devices:
For example through Google Account –
On another smartphone or computer, go to the google.com/android/devicemanager website.
Go there and sign in to the Google account.
Then after logging in your smartphone name will show. Select it then.
Then you will get an option - 'Lock'. There will be option to set new password.
Now set new password. Now you can unlock your phone using that password.
If there is absolutely no way then factory reset the device
First, switch off the phone. But definitely take full charge.
Then press and hold the volume up or down (depending on the phone) button and the power button together for a while.
Doing this will put the phone into restore mode. Then factory reset option will show. Tap on 'Clean/Erase Data' and 'Cache'.
After waiting for about a minute, if you turn on the smartphone, it won't ask for any password or pattern. But without any data backup it will go down the drain. Source: Hindustan Times.
