Unlock android phone from pattern lock

Unlock android phone after too many wrong pattern attempts

This has been a common problem with most android users that, someone(while playing with their cellphone) activates the lock by drawing wrong unlocking patterns, leading finally to a window asking Google account

User name and password. I recently got screwed up, as the kid living next door tried unlocking my phone. If wrong pattern is entered 20 times, the Android OS locks your phone with a "TOO many pattern attempts" message and asks for your Google account name and password.

Now there are various reasons for which people can't come out of this situation -

• Either they don't know the ID/Password.
• The Packet Data is not activated, so even if right ID/Password is entered, it wont help.
• The Internet setting of respective Network Service Provider is not installed.

It was a hard time for me to swallow the truth that, MY PHONE WAS LOCKED, as the account in the phone was of someone else's. I googled the solution for this, but found unusefull tricks unlocking the phone as they needed the phone to be in USB Debugging mode. But, somehow, i managed to find a solution to this(though it was done accidentally). If you go at any mobile shop they take ample amount for doing simple steps for unlocking it. I will tell you what they do. You need to follow some simple steps. I have tried the technique on Samsung Galaxy Y (Young). Probably it may work on all android devices

Note - this method involves wiping off all data on your phone, including installed apps and the setting you have done.

1. Turn the phone off the phone
2. Long press the upper volume key, menu key and the power key simultaneously
3. relieve for a fraction as soon as you see the screen display in "Samsung Galaxy Y young" again press the 3 keys simultaneously
4. Now you will see a screen displaying "Android system Recovery"

    5.  select the 3rd option("Wipe data/factory reset") using the volume keys and press the centre menu key

    6.  select the "Yes" option again using the same keys.
    7.  after some time, it will say, the reset is done
    8.  just select the reboot option and your phone is UNLOCKED.

Though it will wipe all your data,i find it relevant as it saves some of your bucks.
It's done...!!!

Unlock Android phone

Unlock Android phone after too many pattern attempts

Unlock Android phone that is locked after too many pattern attempts. I've seen the question so many times in the Google Mobile Help Forum that I felt that a post could help someone out.

 

The pattern lock screen (in Swedish)

On Android phones you can activate a feature called pattern lock. This feature can be compared to a Windows computer asking for password after the screen saver kicked in, only instead of a password you use a pattern. You get a screen with 9 dots and you draw a pattern of your choice with 4 of them. If you forget your pattern (or have kids that likes to play with phones) you will after 3 faulty attempts be unable to use the pattern to unlock it. Instead you are asked for your Google account and password (that is setup with the phone of course). This is where the problem starts.

For many, many users providing the username and password won’t change a thing. For some people changing the password via a computer has worked but that is uncommon. Most people ends up with a very expensive paperweight. Have no fear, there are solutions to almost everything!

Update

Some workarounds to try before reading ahead:

1. try entering null as password. (together with your google username)

2. try entering your username without @gmail.com

3. Combine 1 and 2

4. Call yourself from another phone, answer, without hanging up press the home button, then menu button, settings, try to disable pattern-lock

5. Call yourself from another phone, answer, hang-up, directly after hanging up start pressing your buttons like a madman for <30-60 seconds ending with your home button (might take a while to get the timing right). Go into settings and disable pattern-lock.

6.  Try the normal recover password routine from GMail.com and start over from 1.

7. Perform a factory reset. YOU WILL LOOSE all not-synced DATA (SD card will be left untouched).

1-6 are possible workarounds, these doesn't work for everyone but can be worth a try to avoid factory reset. 6. is what should work but hardly never does. 7 - The factory reset always work

End Update

In this case the solution is to make a factory reset (sometimes referred to as hard reset or wipe). This will erase all data on your phone (not on your SD-card). Your contacts and mails should be in sync with the Google servers, no problem there then. Downloaded applications needs to be installed again but there is a list of your previous downloads in the Android Market->My Downloads. Other things though are lost if you haven’t backed them up manually with a 3-rd party application. Example on things you will lose: Call logs, text messages, application settings.

This is your 3 step solution

1. Factory reset your phone (links to Android device manuals can be found below, it differs between devices)
2. Setup your phone just like you did the first time you unpacked it (use the same Google Account if you want your old contacts back!)
3. Restore any manual back-ups and install your previous applications from the My Downloads list.
