If you want to know how to unlock samsung with password, you have come to the right article. The first thing you should know is that the process is the same as if the screen of our terminal has broken and we want to unlock it.
By using a lock code, pattern, password, facial recognition or fingerprint, our smartphone encrypts all content inside. In this way, if someone gains access to its interior using brute force, they will not be able to decipher the information easily.
Through the Samsung website
The simplest and fastest method we have at our disposal to unlock samsung with password is by using the Samsung website, specifically through the website that allows us to locate our mobile.
The only requirement to be able to use this method is have a samsung account and have used that same account to register the device as ours.
In this way, we will be able to access all the functions that Samsung offers us, through its website, including the possibility of unlock the terminal protected with password, pattern, fingerprint, code...
Next, we show you the steps to follow to remove the password from our Samsung smartphone.
- We visit the website Find my mobile (Samsung) e we enter our account data (if we do not remember the password we pass the next section).
- Next, in the right column, the device(s) associated with the account will be displayed.
- Click on the device from which we want to remove the password and go to the right side.
- Next, a new window is displayed. In that sale, we click on To unlock and enter the password of our Samsung account.
Our device must have an internet connection, either through mobile data or through a Wi-Fi connection. If you do not have an internet connection, no matter how much we use this option, the terminal will never be unlocked.
Once unlocked, the device will not invite you to create a new password, pattern, use a fingerprint or our face to protect access to our device.
It is important to protect access to our device again through the different methods in order to prevent anyone from accessing the interior of our device if we lose it, forget it somewhere or even if it is stolen.
Can't remember Samsung password?
If you don't remember your Samsung account password, you can recover it by following the steps below:
- First of all, we need to click on the this link that will take us to the Samsung website.
- Next, click on Reset password.
- Next, we must enter the email account to which we have associated our Samsung terminal.
- We will receive in that email account, an email with a link where we must click to create a new password to access the account.
Once we have changed the password, we can return to the previous step that will allow us unlock our password protected samsung smartphone.
with ABS
If our Samsung mobile was not associated with an account of the Korean company, we will not be able to use this method to unlock it. Another option that we have available to unlock access to our Samsung smartphone is to use ADB.
We will be able to use ADB if we have previously activated the USB Debugging duration through the developer options. If so, we must perform the steps that I show you below.
- First of all, you need to download ADB via this link and unzip the file on our computer.
- Next, we connect the terminal to the computer and access the Windows command prompt through the CMD application, (application that we must run with administrator permissions)
- Next, we go to the directory where we have unzipped the application and write the following commands:
- adb devices
- shell input keyevent 66
If we want remove pattern lock we forgot, we must perform the following steps:
- adb shell
- cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
- sqlite3 settings.db
- update system set value = 0 where name = 'lock_pattern_autolock';
- update system set value = 0 where name = 'lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently';
- .quit
- Exit
- adb reboot
Applications to remove the password
If none of the previous solutions have worked for you, the only option we have at our disposal is to use third-party applications, which allow us remove the access password to any terminal.
The problem with these applications is that delete absolutely all content that we have stored on the device, so if we have not taken the precaution of making a previous backup, we will not be able to recover its content in any way.
These apps they take advantage of the desperation of the users that need access to your terminal, since they are not exactly cheap.
Tenorshare, Dr. Fone and iMobie are some of the different applications that we have at our disposal to unlock access to our Samsung smartphone We have forgotten the password, pattern, code...
What these applications do is restore the device to factory settings, a process that we can do ourselves if we have the necessary patience to access the recovery mode and find the option to reset it to the factory, since all the menus are in English.
Restore the terminal to factory settings
As I mentioned in the previous section, restore the device from scratch solve the password problem, but it implies losing all the content that we have stored inside it.
If you don't want or can't pay for such apps, you can opt for perform the process and reset your terminal to factory settings.
This process involves delete all content that we have stored inside, but if it is the only option we have, it is better than not being able to use the terminal again.
The process for restore a samsung smartphone from scratch is:
- The first thing to do is turn off your phone and wait a few seconds to make sure it is completely off.
- Next, we press the power button next to the volume up key.
- When the device vibrates, we release both keys and we wait for the Recovery menu to appear.
- With the volume down button, we move to the option Wipe data factory reset and press the power button to confirm.
- Before starting the process, the system will ask us for confirmation that we want to carry out the process. Click on the power button to confirm it.
After the restore process is complete, the phone will start and we will have to configure it again from scratch.
