No matter which Android phone you own, chances are a lock screen will be the first thing you see every time you power on your device. Whether you have to dismiss this screen with just a swipe or by entering a pattern, PIN or password or performing a fingerprint scan, it delays access to your apps by at least a few moments.
Pattern Password Disable
I am not sure this is the right place to ask this question.? I have enabled pattern lock in my android device. Just for curiosity I am trying to disable and keep only swipe to unlock option but I can't do that. Is there a way I can disable these patter/pin lock in device?
As it seams None is disabled for you, I'm guessing you had an app installed that required an Administrative rights.Go to settings -> General -> Security -> Phone administrators -> Remove the app that made you set the screen lock from the administrators list(Or if it was a certificate from an app, go to Certificate Management and clear credentials)
I found a similar issue posted in 2019 for the PIN unlock ( -the-ok-button-when-unlocking-the-phone-with-a-pa...), but the solve for this issue - selecting an option to disable the confirmation button - does not appear when setting a pattern-type password.
just to add that i have both fingerprint and face enabled so pin or pattern come as backup unlock. I guess that's why I didn't or rarely see the ok prompt. It does happen occasionally if the phone is left for long (4hrs or so) with being unlocked
Well, for the Samsung phones and tablets those which are locked by forgotten password or without password, you can try using the Samsung Galaxy Recovery to unlock your Samsung phones or tablets without losing data.
Should you set up a new lock screen PIN or pattern. Make sure to write down the numbers or pattern on a piece of paper or in a text file on your computer to avoid that hassle the next time. If you run into any problems using the methods above, feel free to leave a comment.
By following its simple on-screen instructions, you can easily learn how to remove the lock screen password/pin/pattern without any data loss. Keep the tool handy and use it during any unwanted situation to unlock your phone.
If you somehow forgot the pattern, PIN, or password that locks your Android device, you might think you're out of luck and are destined to be locked out forever. These security methods are hard to crack by design, but in many cases, it's not entirely impossible to break into a locked device.
There are several different ways to hack a locked Android smartphone or tablet, but unfortunately, there's nothing quite as simple as the password cracker USB sticks that you can get for Windows. So below, I'll go over 7 of the most effective methods, and hopefully one will help you get back into your device.
After clicking the "Lock" button, you'll be prompted to enter a new password, which will replace the pattern, PIN, or password that you forgot. Type the new password twice to confirm your choice, then click the "Lock" button.
Once you've logged into your Samsung account, click the "Lock my screen" button in the left-hand pane. From here, enter a new PIN in the first field, then click the "Lock" button near the bottom of the screen. Within a minute or two, your lock screen password should be changed to the PIN you just entered, which you can use to unlock your device.
From here, choose "Enter Google account details" (depending on your device, you may go directly to this option), then enter your primary Gmail account and password. Google will either send you an email with your unlock pattern, or you can change it right then and there.
If you're more concerned with getting into your phone than you are with preserving any data stored on it, a factory reset should work in many scenarios. But due to a new anti-theft feature called Factory Reset Protection, you'll need to know your Google account password to use this method if the phone was released in 2016 or later.
If it's a newer phone, you'll be prompted to log in with the Google account and password that were previously used on the device before it was reset. As long as you know this information (and you should), it's just a matter of logging back into your Google account to regain access to your phone at this point.
Next, reboot your phone and the secure lock screen should be gone, allowing you to access your phone. But this is only temporary, so make sure to set a new pattern, PIN, or password before you reboot again.
For most phones, you can boot into safe mode by bringing up the power menu from the lock screen, then long-pressing the "Power off" option. From here, choose "OK" when asked if you'd like to boot into safe mode, and when the process finishes, your third-party lock screen app will be temporarily disabled.
Finally, if your device is encrypted and running Android 5.0-5.1.1, there's a way to get around the password lock screen. This method won't work on any other type of secure lock screen, but it's a lifesaver if you forgot your password.
Next, head back to the lock screen and open the camera shortcut. From here, pull down the notification shade and tap the Settings icon, then you'll be prompted to enter a password. Long-press the input field and choose "Paste," then repeat this process several more times. Eventually, after you've pasted enough characters into the field, your lock screen will crash, which will allow you to access the rest of your phone's interface.
I had a password as a lock screen, I was able to log back in using Find My Mobile (method 2) but still couldn't change my password, so using SD Maid I went to data/system/ and erase all the .key files and for erasing the password I deleted all the locksettings. files, which where 3 of them (I have root). I think this can be done also via ADB
I found another way...i have both fingerprint and pattern lock and discovered if i use the quick camera option by double tapping on the home key then take a picture and view it right away..i can hit the home key and it goes right to the home page without unlocking...crazy, huh
Thanks so much! I forgot the pattern I created on my Sony Z2 and thanks to your advice (Method 1) I got my phone (and social life) back! I wish I found your website sooner; the other ones + Youtube videos didn't even MENTION logging in to my gmail account, locking the device from there, creating a new pin etc. So, once more, THANK YOU - all the way from South Africa!
I have different problem here, I use android 4, in my case I supposed to get 5 chance to try the pattern but it's stopped in my first try, it says I have to wait 30 second. in other case, even I tried so hard, the "forgot password?" won't show up so I can't do anything right now...
I have a Samsung Notebook 9. I forgot my 4-letter password, as I tend to change it, which is stupid on my part. I don't want to lose any of my hundreds of photos, most of which are not saved anywhere else, also stupid on my part. I tried the "find my mobile device", but since I had forgotten both my Samsung & Google passwords (I know, I'm a loser), I couldn't use this method. I have since reset both passwords, but since I did them on my computer, it doesn't recognize that the phone is under those passwords, stating "unregistered." All the Sprint & Samsung techs that I've talked to have sd that there's no way to unlock my phone without losing everything. Is there ANY way that I can get into my locked phone without losing all my photos? It makes me physically sick to think that this will happen. Thank you to anyone with an idea!!
Method 1 is out dated. That google portal does not ask you for a new password and only seems to log off the phone from google. It can find the phone but in my case, not looking for my phone only trying to unlock the device now that the pattern doesn't seem to work.
This password generation method is the recommended way to generate random passwords.Other methods (pattern-based generation, ...) should only be used if passwords mustfollow special rules or fulfill certain conditions.
Defining a character set:The character set can be defined directly in the password generator window. For convenience,KeePass offers adding commonly used ranges of characters to the set. This is done byticking the appropriate check box. Additionally to these predefined character ranges, youcan specify characters manually: all characters that you enter in the 'Also include thefollowing characters' text box will be directly added to the character set.
The characters that you enter in the 'Also include the following characters'text box are included in the character set from which the password generator randomlychooses characters from.This means that these additional characters are allowed to appear in thegenerated passwords, but they are not forced to.If you want to force that some characters appear in the generated passwords,you have to use the pattern-based generation.
For example, if you enter 'AAAAB' into the additional characters box, this isexactly the same set as 'AB'. 'A' will not be 4 times as likely as 'B'!If you need to follow rules like 'character A is more likely than B', you mustuse pattern-based generation + permuting password characters.
KeePass will 'optimize' your character set by removing all duplicate characters. Ifyou'd enter the character set 'AAAAB' into the additional characters box,close and reopen the password generator, it'll show the shorter character set 'AB'.Similarly, if you tick the 'Digits' check box and enter '3' into theadditional box, the '3' will be ignored because it is already included in the'Digits' character range.
Supported characters:All Unicodecharacters in the ranges [U+0001, U+D7FF] and [U+E000, U+FFFF]except U+0009 / '\t', U+000A / '\n', U+000D / '\r' are supported.Characters in the range [U+010000, U+10FFFF] (which need to be encodedin UTF-16 using surrogate pairs from [0xD800, 0xDFFF]) are not supported.Subsequent processing of passwords may have further limitations(for example, the character U+FFFF is forbidden in XML/KDBX filesand will be replaced or removed). 2ff7e9595c
