How do you unlock a Samsung phone when you forgot the password?

Answered by Jason Smith

To unlock a Samsung phone when you have forgotten the password, you can follow these steps:

1. Choose a Screen Unlocker: There are various screen unlocker tools available online, such as iMyFone LockWiper, Tenorshare 4uKey for Android, or Dr.Fone – Screen Unlock (Android). These tools are designed to help you bypass the lock screen and gain access to your device.

2. Connect Locked Samsung Phone: Once you have chosen a screen unlocker tool, download and install it on your computer. Connect your locked Samsung phone to the computer using a USB cable.

3. Tap on Remove Now: Launch the screen unlocker tool and select the option to remove the lock screen. The specific steps may vary depending on the tool you are using, but most tools have a clear interface with a “Remove” or “Unlock” option.

4. Follow On-screen Instructions on Samsung Brand: The screen unlocker tool will provide you with on-screen instructions on how to proceed. These instructions may involve putting your Samsung device into download mode or recovery mode. Follow the instructions carefully to proceed with the unlocking process.

5. Samsung Unlock Successful: Once you have successfully completed the steps provided by the screen unlocker tool, your Samsung phone’s lock screen should be removed, and you will regain access to your device.

It’s important to note that unlocking your Samsung phone using a screen unlocker tool will erase all the data on your device. Therefore, it’s crucial to have a backup of your important data before attempting to unlock your phone. If you don’t have a backup, you may lose all your data during the unlocking process.

In my personal experience, I have used the iMyFone LockWiper tool to unlock a Samsung Galaxy S9 when I forgot the password. The tool was easy to use, and it successfully removed the lock screen without any issues. However, I had to make sure I had a backup of my data because the unlocking process erased everything on the device.
