dr.fone by Wondershareĭr.fone is an all-in-one tool for Android and iOS, which helps one do a multitude of tasks with one’s smartphone. However, these tools have limitations and may not work for your Android device or version. There are few tools which can remove your device’s lock, fortunately. What is the solution then? In case you are using Android 5.0 Lollipop or above, you cannot easily recover your Android device since Android forbids it. Android no longer allows resetting a forgotten password or pattern. However, for the ones who have forgotten their phone’s password, this may not be good news.

Since then both Apple and Google have improved their platforms’ security features.

Reset your screen lock pattern, and you will own the phone again.īack in 2016 when the FBI tried to unlock an iPhone, phone’s security became utmost important for phone companies.

Enter your Google Account’s email address and password which you used to log in to your device (any other account will not work, however).

Tap the given “ Forgot …” button or option.

You will see “Forgot password”, “Forgot pattern”, or “Forgot PIN” based on your lock setting.

Just try unlocking your device multiple times under a minute (or 30 seconds if the former does not work).

Now, if you have Android 4.4 or below, follow the given steps to unlock the device. Some of you may have an upgraded version running on your smartphone, so I have a few other solutions for them as well.

It works like the “Forgot Password” feature of Google. Among those features lies one of the life-saving features called “Forgot Password”, which helps one reset the lock code. Choose ‘Forgot Password’Īlthough Android misses many of my favorite features, still it has evolved much and provided more features than my expectations. I lost my Android phone to a thief last year.
