The mobile phone is a kind of storage of user data even in case of loss of control over the device. We will consider the case when the device is locked, but it is not possible to remember the unlock codes. And then a logical question arises: "What to do if the user has forgotten the password on the phone?" So, let's take a look at the main points of unlocking.

Oh, how many of you there are!

Unfortunately, there is no universal code in the world for removing restrictions on the use of devices from different manufacturers. Moreover, even the unlocking methods for each specific model of the same brand are fundamentally different. Therefore, some modifications of phones require compliance with individual methods in the process of removing a security or access blocking code. This article will look at the unlocking options for major brands in the mobile industry such as Samsung and Nokia. The question of what to do if you have forgotten the password on your phone will be answered with a capacious and, of course, useful answer.

Ladies and gentlemen, you won't have to remember your Nokia password if you use ...

Method number 1

If the data on the phone is not so important for you, try entering the service number - * # 7370 #. The mobile device will reset user data and return to factory settings.

Method number 2

This method is an exceptional option to get a qualified answer to the question "what to do if you forgot your password on your phone". This is an appeal to the official website of the manufacturer Nokia, where you will be provided with support and suggested solutions to a difficult problem.

Method number 3

It is no secret that there are some services on the Internet that allow you to get a master code. As a result of the generated IMEI of your gadget, you will be sent a unique digital combination, by entering which restrictions on the use of the phone will be removed.

Method number 4

Contact a specialized service center if you do not want to "bother" to create a variety of devices and learn the basics of working with a soldering iron.

Gentleman's set of "Samsung" solutions

What should I do if I have forgotten the password on the phone, and the information in the device is extremely necessary? Basically, reset methods almost always involve inevitable data loss. But there is one simple solution to this problem. Let's remove the restrictive password from the phone Since the phone is an Android device, therefore, other devices running the same OS can also be successfully "released" from the state when the user has forgotten the phone lock password.

Method number 1

Start your phone. Please note that your SIM card must be installed in the device. After the screen prompts you to enter a password, call this gadget. Without accepting the call, go to the "settings" menu, select the "Privacy" section, then "Reset all data" and confirm with the appropriate consent. The password will be reset and the user information will remain in place.

Method number 2

So: I forgot my phone password, what should I do and how can this restriction be removed? The answer can be the following technique: Hard reseta. With the phone turned off, we sequentially hold down the three buttons "Vol +", "Home" and "Power". After the brand logo appears, release the keys. At the end of the information initialization process, your attention will be offered a service menu, where you need to select the "wipe data / factory reset" item. Confirm the action by pressing the "Home" key. Then on "wipe cache partition delete all user", and again "Home". Select "del" from the proposed list and press the "Home" button. After reboot, activate "reboot system now". The phone is untethered from the password.

Method number 3

Full reset of user settings and returning the phone to its original state. Enter the code: * 2767 * 3855 # and press "Call". In some smartphones, you can enter the engineering menu using the combination * # 56658378 #. Find the item "Reset phone password" and enjoy full use. By the way, the password takes the value of the standard "0000" or "00000000".

Finally

I wish you success and be attentive. Always write down passwords, as human memory is imperfect. The account also requires a certain "ritual" of storage, because in some cases, the password can only be retrieved if you have a Google account.

Here you will see the types of protection:

• Swipe across the screen

• Signature

• Drawing

• Password

To set a password, select PIN or Password. What is the difference? PIN consists of only four digits, security level is medium.

The password can consist of both letters and numbers, and their number can be almost any. This password is more secure, but the PIN is more convenient to enter when unlocking.

Enter your password, confirm it. Now, when you unlock the screen, the system will ask you to enter the password.

We put the password on stock Android

The essence of the process is the same, except that the menu is modified, like the name of some items.

We go to "Settings".

Find the "Security" section, open it.

We select "Screen lock".

We perform the same actions - enter the password twice and save it.

Your device requires a password to unlock the screen.

How to unlock a Samsung phone? How to unlock your phone

What makes us mobile phone users put a security graphic or enter an incredibly complex security combination on a cellular communication device? Chances are, your answer is safety. At the same time, in the numerous "ranks of the mobile army", the naturally arising question of how to unlock the Samsung phone does not lose its actual acuteness (in view of the forgetfulness inherent in human nature). As you may have guessed, the "hero" of our story will be the products of the Korean brand Samsung, well-known to the world community, and we will focus our attention on an important operational point - software protection of a mobile device and ways to restore access to its functionality.

Reminder of something important, or Remembrance of the "insidious rake"

Of course, none of the phone owners is immune from an extremely undesirable manifestation of our consciousness - forgetfulness. And everything would be fine if each user “got” an account in advance, and kept their identification data in a safe place. But not everything is so cloudless, because many of us forget to write down secret symbols, and some are completely deprived of the possibility of "Internet security", since "slightly" outdated models do not have the ability to unlock using an account. However, you will know in just a few minutes how to unlock your Samsung phone, which has served you faithfully for a long time!

Protection from ourselves

Literally all mobile phones are equipped with a locking system. The principle of operation of the locking device in different models can be expressed by an individual design feature: a lever, a floating button or a touch glass. However, all this variety has one purpose - to protect the user from unauthorized influence on the keyboard, touchscreen or other control elements of the cellular device. But this is, so to speak, "an innocent form of defense." A much more complex mechanism is provided at the time of applying the total blocking algorithm, which can only be canceled by entering strictly defined data. However, more on this.

Samsung phone lock secret code

Each cellular device has an engineering menu with which you can control the hardware potential of the mobile unit. However, you can enter it only if you know a special combination. Perhaps such information was previously considered secret, today the mystery and secrets are compensated by extensive Internet support. For example, almost all Samsung devices respond to the * 2767 * 3855 # command. This code perfectly copes with the unpleasant "surprise" (forgotten lock password), not only on old versions of the Korean brand. Nevertheless, you will have to say goodbye to personal information that is in the "bowels" of the device, but the phone will become available for use again.

Our days: "monsters" of high technologies

And how to unlock the new generation Samsung phone? The unequivocal answer expresses a complete orientation towards global support from the manufacturer. In other words, modern android devices have the ability to identify themselves on the network using the previously assigned ID. Only due to this, your "lost" access password can be simply canceled, of course, if the authorization process in the service network is successful. The main thing is to know your account details.

• Enter the desired data type at random several times.
• After a while, an invitation message will appear.
• Enter your data in the specially designated checkboxes and wait for a server response.

It is worth noting that such a service is not always effective, so if the result is negative, look for "salvation" in the paragraph below.

Changing the access password: a practical guide

In the case when all attempts to remember the unlock pattern or symbolic code were unsuccessful, and the answer to the question of how to unlock the Samsung phone is urgent, do the following:

• Turn off your phone and remove the memory card and sim card from the android device.
• Press the Vol +, Power and Home buttons in sequence.
• Wait for the Samsung logo to appear.
• In the engineering menu, select the Wipe data / factory reset item and confirm your choice with the Power button.
• In the next list, use the same key to activate the delete all user data line.
• Use the Reboot system now item and wait for the reboot process to complete.

Factory reset alternative

A pattern or symbolic password can be reset in a fairly "harmless" way. Simple to look at, but incredibly effective, Adb Run is especially easy to save you from headaches and a visit to a service center due to "memory lapses".

Sim-Lock blocking: an old problem

How to remove SIM lock from Samsung phone? This is, so to speak, a timeless question that requires a software solution. Only programmatically it is possible to defeat this type of "malicious protection". Usually this problem occurs in older models of the Korean manufacturer. The time-tested program "Samsung Unlocker" is used to remove the SIM-blocking of a cellular device. However, even if you, dear user, do all the actions correctly and according to the instructions, a positive result is not guaranteed. The only surefire way is flashing.

It is worth noting that for an uninitiated person, unlocking is an incredibly difficult task in practical implementation. The usual blocking of the phone and "decoupling" from the operator are incomparably different problems. Therefore, it is recommended to contact a specialist, since there are great chances of ditching a known work phone, even if it is an old edition, with not fully conscious actions.

Attention: "secret codes"

Samsung phones are probably the most refurbished mobile devices. And the incredibly extensive list of well-known service teams is an obvious confirmation of this. Some codes effectively help to solve the question of many about how to remove SIM card lock from Samsung phone. Agree, it's convenient - by entering just a few numbers, you can reset your cell phone settings, restrict or expand the functionality of your phone. However, you need to be sure of the truthfulness of the information provided. There are simply "killer combinations", the action of which can have unpredictable consequences for the apparatus. For example, the blocking of a Samsung phone can be removed using the command * 2767 * 3855 #.
But not everyone knows that this code can "completely demolish" imei of some phone modifications, without which, by the way, the device will not be able to work properly. Korean developers have provided for a plurality of different numerical variations of the impact, thereby opening up almost unlimited possibilities for restoring the performance of their own products.

A few words about competitors

The reliable Finnish Nokia mobile phone needs no advertising. At the same time, the question of how to unlock the Nokia phone is no less relevant. However, earlier models hardly lend themselves to "manual deactivation", and modern smartphones have even more reliable protection than their predecessors. Of course, no service codes will be able to unlock the "Finn". Unless only with the help of the same ID-account.

Of course, this function is supported only by new cellular communication units, for the rest of the Nokia line only firmware and complex software manipulations remain. However, to your attention is still presented a way to unlock some not particularly capricious modifications, the representatives of which are relatively outdated samples of serial production.

How to remove the Nokia security code using software

The example below will help resolve the issue of how to unlock the Nokia phone. The only difficulty in the implementation of this enterprise is the need to manufacture a certain device that will allow the device to enter the special Test mode access mode. However, everything is really achievable and is going to be absolutely elementary.

• The special cable consists of three "crocodiles", which are fixed on the contact terminals of the battery telephone. You also need a standard DATA cable.
• Two contact pins "+" and "-" are soldered to the USB "plug" (observing the polarity of the port).
• Make a branch from the negative wire through an intermediary, which is a 4.7 ohm resistor. This limit switch will be connected to the BSI-contact of the device (usually this is the rightmost tab, closer to the middle). However, you can always navigate by the graphic marking of the battery.
• Download Nokia Unlocker and then install it on your computer.
• Connect the cords and after the software recognizes your device, click on the "Read code" button.
• Congratulations, the question of how to unlock your phone is now, so to speak, solved.

Summing up

Perhaps someone will remain disappointed after unsuccessful attempts to "open the mobile shell" by the methods presented above. But, as you know, the absence of a result is a result! Try, try and gain experience. After all, you did not go to the service center for help, which means that you have an ambiguous interest in the cognitive process, and this is a big plus in any sense. The topic "How to unlock if you forgot your password" will never lose its relevance in the solution. Perhaps your knowledge, which will accumulate over time, will help more than one person. However, your competence will primarily play in your favor: it will save a lot of money, time and, of course, nerves. Do not block knowledge - develop!
