Hi guys I was looking in YouTube any videos that can help me to by pass this samsung account. I bought a phone though ebay and I'm really frustrated because they didn't tell me that the phone has a Samsung account locked and it's requiring the old user to let me in. I check that you can by pass using the forgot password and Web browser technique but this phone doesn't let me touch anything just write the old Id. I need help by passing this because it's impossible to me to send it back it will cost lot of money because I live in other country. Hope guys can help me to discover how to by pass this thing I'm already getting crazy. Thanks

Why don't you just ask the person you bought it from for the password?
I did but he said he don't know that whY he sold it
He does not know maybe because its a stolen phone? He can somehow do a password reset via samsung account on any computer.
Once reset you can enter that password on ur phone

Sounds stolen to me.
Definitely stolen. Demand a refund or threaten to report the guy if he doesn't.
The only way to bypass it is if you have access the the original owners email too. Resetting the password on a Samsung account in a browser just sends a new password to the email address that was used to register the Samsung account.
So you are out of luck.
OTOH, once you setup the phone from scratch (ie. do a factory reset) can't you just bypass setting up Google and Samsung accounts at the setup? If you disable all networks (ie. on airplane mode) the phone can't phone home to ask for the original users password. So you can keep using it as long as you have it in airplane mode. Just use it as a dumb phone and get your apks from your pc.
After 3 hours of touch and touch I definitely figure how to by pass this function in the Samsung Galaxy S6 Verizon version.
1. Proceed to go to the locked screen with wifi oN
2. Go to a place where you can write something When The keyboard appears check that you can see a a tools icon its located below at the side of sym button.
3.ok now we are in keyboard settings you need to scroll to the end and enter to the "adjust keyboard size" or " resize keyboard ".
4. In this section write something and then keep press the word that you put and select dictionary
5. Now find the way to access to Google now I don't remember the full process in this section lol
6.follow steps like login into you Google account when finished you will be in Google now
7. Keep your finger touched in the screen and move it to the right side and you will see you account logged "the Google account "
8. Touch the little arrow symbol in your Google account and go to the account manager.
9. Create a new Samsung account and bwaula!!!! Enjoy your phone XD
Sorry I did my best to explain it was my first time and I didn't record everything. Hope it help for you it take me 3 hours of my life that I'm sharing with you guys. Any questions I'll be here

Wow, exploit LOL.
That really doesn't sound secure at all. It's meant to protect the phone from being used again. What's the point if it can be bypassed? I guess it's gonna be patched as soon as this method gets published around the place.
I'm gonna go try it out on my phone.
Great job btw! (as long as you weren't the original thief, cause if you are, then screw you but thanks for the technique too)

I can confirm that this works. Lol, I was rooting around with my phone and manage to reactivation locked my phone which caused me to factory wipe/reset the phone. Unfortunately something weird happened to my samsung account with a whole bunch of processing failed. There is a way to solve that too. Unfortunately, I am unwilling to post more directions since this Samsung Account thing is primarily used to prevent theft.

If you're running 5.1.1 then that method will not work any longer. It's been "fixed" so there is no useful options from tapping the words or attempting to get into the dictionary.

So today I have found a bypass I call it for the reactivation lock on i would say any samsung device that has the problem where the phone was reset with the reactivation lock on and you forgot the account info. Now you could use this to unlock a stolen phone i don't do this or recommend it cause if it were my phone I would still get it back even if you did get in. So you start out at the screen that tells you that your device has been locked and to enter samsung account info so what you wanna do is go and click on the forgot account info text. Once you do that enter your email and the image verification you must use a active samsung account email. Once you do that press and hold on your email address which should be blue and the options for cut copy ect should come up. What you want to do is hit the one in the right hand conner that should now drop you into Google now. Once in google now type open settings and you will want to open the settings app this way. Once in the settings app you want to go into your app mananger and go to the tab that says all apps and force close/disable samsung accounts. Next find all the Samsung sync adapters and force stop them then find the factory mode one and any one to do with setup and force stop them. (the reason I have so many to disable is because I don't know which one is the magic one that did it) . Now press your back button and click your toolbar if ur on a newer samsung device and enable the toolbar with 1 of the 5 apps being your settings app. This is in case something goes wrong so it's eaiser to get into setting again now. GO back to the setup screen run phone setup again and this should bypass the Samsung lock. Now once your in the phone have full access you can use the pull down bar and all go back into settings re-enable samsung accounts and reboot. Now you should be at the swipe screen to unlock the phone do so go back into settings where the check box for reactivation lock is and untick the check box this should now ask you to sign in with your Samsung account do so and when you do it should back you out to the setting so now untick the box again enter your password for the Samsung account you just setup and boom your phone is now free frome the activation lock and you can use it like you would any other phone and best of all u didn't trip a Knox counter. It was really shear luck I can upon this exploit and its because samsung can't disable Google now and copy paste functions on their keyboards so yeah a high school student just got around your Security measures come on samsung try to lock it up a little tighter next time. But yeah I will see if I can get a few screenshots up in a few days showing some steps but yeah hope this helps you who forgot your credentials like my dad did :silly: please don't use this to get into a phone thats stolen/ not yours cause that's why I was debating whether or not to post this. so yeah fell free to ask if u need me to clear something up and execuse my crappy punication I don't use it when typing very often. So yeah hope this helps and have a great day
Well, I tried getting all the things you are talking about but, I didn't get exactly where how and what I would rather wait for your screenshots to showed up, so I could have a look on what's going on over there. It often became hard to read out because of the white and black theme often results in dried up...
Yeah i understand what your saying I will see if I can relock the phone and take a few pics I still don't belive that I was able to bypass it just shows how insecure samsung made its security
Working only in few models but not working in some sets
Lolipop update bypass!

Hi, I am trying improve the security on my phone, There has been a recent report about a guy who was forced to enter his unlock screen password to border officials at the airport (although he didn't comply). This is a HUGE abuse of power and an even bigger violation of privacy.
I hope never to be in that situation, but if i am i want an easy way out so i am looking for the following solutions:
Entering a secret code / Pattern on the lockscreen that would trigger a factory reset
And / Or
A secret code / Pattern on the lockscreen that would load a "dummy" home Lanucher
as far as i can tell neither exist. Any help/Advice would be great, thanks
Just enter into the guest mode?

How? I mean suppose that official is infront of you , how will you switch to gusest mode wihout letting him know .... i mean in power off option ?? or any other way?
What you are describing is similar to the plausible deniability mode of Truecrypt. However Android doesn't have this function natively, and I don't see how you can implement it without doing some major modification to the system.
What about bringing a secondary phone as a distraction instead?
There is already one major bug in Google Play services 7.0.97 reported by Android Police which alllows attackers to unlock the phone without any password since it takes around 15 ~ 20 seconds to re-apply the lock. Another hole seems that attackers could steal your phone if your phone just gets into the standby mode with disabled sceen. There are general known attacks with such smart-lock enabled function which allows to bypass the pin.
not sure if this is relevant , but on any phone i've owned with a 'swipe-down-status-bar' when phone is showing lock screen all i have to do is swipe the status bar down and can click on any icon to bypass lockscreen then back out of that setting , i.e. settings , apps , wifi , etc. and will be on home screen.

That only works if you didn't set any password lock.
I have es file manager, and i zip and password protect files or folders wich i need but dont want people finding if my phone ever gets stolen. you can check that out.
Maybe there's gonna be something I oversee, but you could (easily) do this with Tasker.
You could use tasker to make an 'app' to login with a different profile on your android. By opening that app, you go into a self-defined stealth-mode, where you disable everything you want to hide and where you open a minimal homescreen.
Tasker + Secure Settings should have all the tools you need to set it up without destroying your real security.
Maybe dual booting to an empty ROM with sdcard access removed and only a small amount of fake information down on the device?
Would not help if they decided to copy your entire devices info for a close exam but should fool most guards into thinking you don't use your phone much.
Just reboot into that ROM at any time you think anyone would ever check.
Hello Guys... i recently got a Galaxy S5 from Ebay that unfortunately was locked by a Samsung account due an abnormal factory reset... there are many ways to bypass this on previous versions of android but unfortunately mine has the last update OK3.. After many attempts to bypass this I was about to give up until i got an idea that finally worked..
In the previous versions of android it was very easy to do it because you could open a web browser very easy but in this update the people of Samsung remove all these options... but... they forgot one...
1. Basically what you have to do is connect to a free WIFI from any store that request you a sign in... for example in my work we have a guest wifi that is free but in order to make it work you need to enter some information like your name and email address...
2. Once you get to this screen enter the information and accept everything so you can log in to the WIFI.. after that a web browser will open and that's what you need!! if the browser do not open just try to select any text and press the search button so you can open the browser..
3. Once the browser is open go to the Playstore webpage, after this the Playstore application will open.
4. Enter your Gmail account and search the app EASYTOUCH
5. Download the app and run it... this app will open a floating bubble in your screen that will allow you to open any app on your phone or go to settings etc...
6. After this you will be able to do anything you want on your phone, well almost anything lol.. you wont be able to receive any calls... but you can make calls receive sms and also send sms... something is something
7.. I suggest downloading a Launcher like Cheeta and a screen locker like CM LOCK. Sometimes the bubble from Easytouch disappear and you wont be able to do anything unless you restarts your phone.
As you can see the whole point of this is to open a web browser so you can install any app from Playstore that will let you use your phone "normally". If the browsers doesn't open just select any text as you were trying to copy it but instead of pressing the copy button press the search button...
I'm sorry if my explanation was not clear... English is my second language....
Wouldn't it be much better to return the defective item to the eBay seller on the grounds that it was probably stolen, and then buy one that works?

Yes and No... 99% of the time yes it was stolen... but there is nothing I can do about that, actually it will be a lot of of rework on my side... i will have to open a case in ebay.. wait tons of days... send the phone.. get a refund... buy another one... wait like another week.... So I decided to keep it.... yes it may be wrong buying stolen phones... but I think there are worst things than that and you wont stop doing them... so.... just keep an eye on yours so it doesn't get stolen...

Hi,
I just purchased an x96 box and was looking through the features when I saw the security feature for setting up a resticted profile. Since I have kids I thought it would be good to set one up, so created my password and then clicked "enter restricted profile". Not only did it restrict the apps that were availible to me, but now in the sttings tab all the buttons are gone (except for network) so I can't change any settings. As well there isn't anything for me to toggle back to normal profile. I basically am stuck in restricted profile and cant change it. When I turn on and off the box it comes back on in regular mode (all the apps), but then 5 seconds in it says "switching to restricted profile" and I cant make any changes to settings.
Anyone who can help would be a lifesaver.
Cheers

Thanks
I ended up doing a factory reset. Click on the apps button on the home page. Near the bottom is a button that says "backup......". Clicked on that and checked off delete data and delete "something" then hit restore. Good to go.
Hope that helps.
Let sera...
Ok so I got a x96 foolishly done the same thing. Here's how to set it again. While the power is off in the av point on the rear of the box poke a match stick in and there is a button insode. Hold it down. It will come up with options like a boot sort of setup options. I went to clear data or something along those lines and boom back to factory settings. I looked everywhere for a reset button it was only because company I purchased from advised me it was there.
Ditto! Is ther e any other option than reseting factory settings? How can i apply the original passcode I entered?
Did you get it fix?

X96 restricted profile problem
Now any new solution? When I set PIN code and apply restricted profile after that I cannot reverse normal mode, can't apply PIN code
With a factory reset ?
So did anyone work out how to get back removing restricted profile without a factory reset. It seems so counter productive...
Thanks.
Hope it works for you too.
Okay. So, I didn't see a reset button hidden anywhere, but I didn't wanna have to do that anyways. What I've found is that when you turn it off and back on, you can go back out of restricted mode. You just need to be really fast before it re-enters restricted mode again. You have about ten seconds. It's best to connect a mouse because it takes longer to scroll to the apps and options using the remote. But I did everything in time because my password was 0000. As soon as it turns back on, as quickly as possible, go to settings, >security & restrictions, then go to turn off restricted profile. Quickly enter your passcode and you're home free! After that, I'd highly recommend deleting restricted profile. Hope this works for you too!

Yours is the best idea to solve the issue. Unfortunately my GT1 is so fast, that gives me only 1 second. The same is with wired mouse. Is there any experience, if after master (pinhole) reset the Google account should get back all (Kodi reppositories, YouTube account,...) settings ?
I have exactly the same problem with my Philips 49PUS7502/12 Android TV. I even didn't set up a PIN CODE for it. I can't get out of this profile. Any solution rather than factory reset? I have many apps and customization.
I was just forced (phone broke) to upgrade from my Note 10+ and the timing was such I took advantage of getting the S22 Ultra. I am liking the device so far, but it seems there is no way to use Google's SmartLock feature for autofilling passwords with the Gboard keyboard outside of Chrome. I normally use Keypass for my offline keychains but like the convenience of google, but now Samsung is forcing me to use their crap system for password management and it seems like I can't switch to Google for things like apps like I used to in the past. Is this expected behavior and is there any way to change it? I've done a bunch of digging and everyone historically has pointed to changing the auto fill settings but there is no alternative options for SmartLock in the Samsung pass settings on the device that I have been able to find.
Thanks!

Go to Settings --> General Management --> Passwords and Autofill
There should be two sections there, one for passwords, and one for autofill services.
Press and hold on the name, Samsung Pass, for 1 or 2 secs. When you release, it will go to a selection screen where you can choose Google Autofill Service.
Hope this helps, took me a while to figure it out.

There should be two sections there, one for passwords, and one for autofill services.
Press and hold on the name, Samsung Pass, for 1 or 2 secs. When you release, it will go to a selection screen where you can choose Google Autofill Service.
Hope this helps, took me a while to figure it out.

You are my hero! It is completely unintuitive to get to this screen. On previous generations this was the default screen but it's buried behind a hidden damn menu? Grrrr! Thank you!
Thanks!
Thanks, that did the trick, it was driving me crazy after returning to Samsung after 8 years or so of other phones.
The setting on the samsung A52 s (android 13) looked like it already had google pointed as the password manager, but when I pressed the word: Samsung password manager !
it finally gave a pop-up to choose Google.
(Really press the word samsung password mamager, Not the "gear", really press the word. The gear is there for settings of the "chosen" manager)
Now it finally works as intended, thanks again!
Worked like a charm!, so annoying not more obvious
