How to unlock samsung

Each owner of a smartphone or tablet from various manufacturers, including Samsung, probably added additional protection tools like a graphical password or pin-code to its device. And although initially similar measures are being taken with good intentions, there are situations where the unlock key does not work. In the course of this Instruction, we will talk about several methods for bypassing this problem on Android-devices of Samsung brand.

Since modern Samsung smartphones work exclusively on the Android platform from Google, the telephone is completely applied to the phone to restore access.

Method 1: Entering PIN Code

Samsung has been produced by the Samsung devices on the Android platform, so if you are the owner of the device on OS version 5.0 and below, you can reset the graphics key without any problems. To do this, you will have to resort to the input of the PIN code specified when adding protection.

1. To start the unlocking procedure, purposefully enter a wrong key several times.



2. As a result, a small block appears at the bottom of the screen with the options for recovering the key. Click on the "Additional PIN" button.



3. Using a numeric keypad, enter the previously created unlock key. If the code was specified correctly, you will find yourself on the desktop.

This option, in contrast to the following, most convenient, but, unfortunately, is available on a limited number of models of Samsung smartphones. Therefore, even if you have android below the fifth version, in the absence of additional recovery tools, immediately go to the next method.

Method 2: SAMSUNG Account

By analogy with the first option, this method is suitable exclusively to the owners of Samsung brand devices, but only subject to the use of the online service "Find My Mobile" and attaching a device to the account. If these actions were performed, another important condition is to connect to the Internet.

Go to the online service "Find My Mobile"

1. Open the site on the link submitted by us and make authorization using data from the Samsung account.



2. After logging in, a personal account will appear. From the list on the left side of the window, select a device requiring unlocking.

   

   In the pop-up window on the right side of the page, find and click the "Unlock" button.

3. Repeat the password from the account and click on the Unlock link. This process can be completed on this, since the blocking on the smartphone will be deactivated.

The main disadvantage of the method will be the need to add an SAMSUNG account with adding a remote control. This can be done exclusively through the "Settings", available only in the absence of lock. In this regard, sometimes the method may be simply not available.

Method 3: Aroma File Manager

Of all the methods under consideration, this is the most versatile, allowing you to unlock the Samsung device with minimal losses. The main condition in this situation is the presence of root rights and custom recovery. You can implement them in the following instructions below.

   Method 4: Data Reset

   Rollback of the smartphone to the factory state is a radical measure that allows not easy to unlock the smartphone, but delete all user data. Because of how serious consequences, the least recommended method is recommended and is suitable, rather than experienced users. We will not describe this procedure, as it has already been done in several other articles on our website.

   In addition to what has been said, in connection with the integration of Google account on any Android device, the account can be used to reset the data. This method is largely reminiscent of the second, since the Internet connection must be active on the device. However, it will have to clean the device, thereby deleting not only forgotten key, but also other personal data.

   Go to the online service "Find Device"

   1. Upon the following link, open the "Find Device" site. If necessary, make authorization using the same Google account, which is active on a blocked smartphone.

      

      Through the menu on the left side of the window, find the device and click the "Update" button to make sure Internet connections are available.

   2. If you successfully detect the device, click on the "Clear Device" block.

   

   3. After reading the consequences, click the Sizely Signature button and, if necessary, enter a password from Google Account.

   

   4. After that, the data on the smartphone will be reset in the same way as through the recovery.

   

   As can be seen, the method is largely limited and inferior to an option using the "Recovery" menu. But even so, if you, for example, it does not work in the data reset menu, it is this option that becomes the only optimal alternative, requiring only an e-mail and password from Google.

   Conclusion

   As you can see, on the devices of Samsung, the developer provides several methods for accessing while losing the key. This, in turn, makes branded smartphones much more reliable in use than phones with a standard android shell. At the same time, even in the second case, the output still has, although somewhat less convenient.
