[Solved] Forgot Unlock Pattern (Sign) on Android? | androidbasement - Official Site

The "Screen lock”Is an indispensable feature as the number of threats and attacks on Android grows more and more. There are several types to protect your device and data. By accessing Settings -> Lock Screen you can in fact choose between the following types of protection:

1. Drag (no protection)
2. Sign (medium security)
3. PIN
4. PASSWORD
5. Nobody

If the PIN or PASSWORD can be annoying, the type of "Sign"Or"pattern”Even if not 100% very safe it represents a good compromise of protection. However, there are cases in which it is also possible to forget or not know the unlock pattern of the device. This is a big problem because without the right sequence it becomes impossible to access the functions and data of the device.

Here are the two most likely cases where you may encounter the forgotten unlock pattern problem on Android:

1 case: Forgot unlock pattern. It happens to everyone that we have to forget something ... and even the sequence can be forgotten especially if we have chosen a somewhat complex and different pattern that we used

Case 2. Unlock pattern not set by us. It may happen that one of our children or some other person accidentally sets a different unlock pattern. Or we bought a second-hand device that is locked by the old owner and haven't received instructions on how to unlock.

Regardless of the model and brand of the Android phone on which you have forgotten the unlock pattern (Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, Redmi, LG, Oppo, Motorola, Pixel, Wiko, etc ...), there is only one solution to the problem: reset to factory settings.

You can do this manually or get help from software such as dr.Fone Unlock to bypass the sign lock and re-access the device functions. In addition to dr.fone, however, there is also another (cheaper) software that you could use to unlock your Android device from pattern lock. Read on to find out what we're talking about.

A) Remove Screen Lock (to remove the pattern, sign sequence, PIN, Password and fingerprint access ...)
B) Remove Google Lock (to remove the Google account associated with the device and preventing the device from being reset to factory settings)

Proceed to connect with the computer (and USB cable) and wait for the device to be detected by the software.

As soon as it is detected click on the button Home to start removing the screen unlock pattern.

ùPlease note: This function will reset the device bringing it to the initial conditions. Confirm that you wish to proceed with these conditions by clicking on the button YES in the warning window.

At the end of the screen lock removal procedure, the program will ask you to put the device in "Recovery Mode"

Done!
