Recover Android Device in case of Forgot password/pattern unlock an Android device

How do I unlock my Tablet when it's locked with a pin code?

Hello. I locked my tab with a pin lock and I forgot the code. I entered too many many wrong codes, and now the tab is locked. I now remember the right code, but nothing happens when I enter it because of how many incorrect attempts I've made. What can I do? Please help me....

Power your device off, and then start it up again and enter the correct pin number. If that doesn't work, you will need to try the option to enter your Gmail account credentials so that you can access your device and change your password.

If that doesn't work, do a Hard Reset by completing the following steps:

Turn off Tablet Try one of these key combos (each Android device uses a slightly different key combo, but these are the most common).

Volume Up + Home + Power Volume Down + Power Home + Power

or

look for a reset button/hole

Release the power button when you see the Android

Choose recovery mode

Choose wipe data/Factory Reset

Choose yes

Tablet will reboot or will ask you to reboot

NOTE: This procedure will delete all apps and data so use it as a last resort.

How to unlock Samsung Tab4, I downloaded Firefly and need help! Please?

I have a Samsung tab 4, and I downloaded the Firefly app (Screen saver with a pin number) I changed by pin number, and I don't remember it. I have tried several times, there are NO other options, and it won't let me even turn OFF my tablet. So that I can power it down or even OFF. Please, I just bought this, and I need help.

Firefly claims that you can disable the lock while it is locked by clicking Disable System Screen Lock. It will sometimes not respond if you are playing a game on the tablet or low on memory/battery. To turn your tablet off, pop the back cover off and remove the battery. In the future, do not install a security lock app that is not linked to your Google Account, or that doesn't have the option to disable remotely via their website.

My daughter has a nextbook that she has been locked out of...she does not remember her Google username or password, so we cannot even use the Tablet?

How do we get into the Tablet without this info

Without having the information in regards to your Pin code or Google account information you are going to need to perform a Hard Reset on your device in order to gain access back to the device.

First, before trying to perform a Hard Reset, you can try to retrieve your information by visiting www.gmail.com. You can visit the website and use the forgot password/username option to regain entry to your account.

I have a Galaxy tab3 China-made model no. T98, and it has been locked for five days. My child wants to unlock it - how can we do so?

The Tablet is demanding a username and password, and I don't know how to unlock it. I need your help.

If you had used a Google account to set up the Tablet when you initially purchased it, that would be the info you need to input at the unlock screen. If you somehow forgot your login info, you can try to recover it at Google's site here:

Google recovery

Just follow the on-screen instructions to proceed to get your username and password recovered.

Can you help me crack the pattern lock on my phone?

I can't unlock the pattern.

Well, there are a few ways you could try to unlock your Tablet. First, after getting the error of an invalid or wrong code, simply choose the "forgotten" option. From there, you will be taken to Google account recovery.

You can then choose either to recover it by using your Google account credentials (which you used to register your phone), your mobile number (which you also used to register), and lastly, answer a few questions regarding about your Google account credentials. The final option is to restore factory default of your phone. This option will erase everything on your phone.

My device is locked, I cannot access my Google account because I cannot open my WiFi. I'm confused about what to hold to reboot.

Let's say that you want to reboot your Android device, but the on/off button isn't working. In some cases, this method may or may not work on your device, depending on the brand and model of your device. To reboot, or to force a reboot of your Android device, you should first turn it off.

Once turned off, press and hold the on/off button and the volume down buttons simultaneously for up to 10 seconds and just wait for the screen to view the options before releasing it. Find the Factory Reset option and select it, then follow the process.

How do you figure out a 7 digit combination password?

I know 3 digits of password but not the rest

If you know three of seven digits, that means you do not know four digits. This makes for 10x10x10x10 = 10000 possible combinations. There is no way you can physically try all those combinations. You either need to remember more digits, or reset the phone and lose your data UNLESS you know your Google ID (Gmail ID) and password. If you do use this info and follow the instructions in this Visi.
