My mobile's LCD was broken and after 4 months I've got it repaired but I've forgotten my pin code. I know the email and account is mine which is linked with it but not showing any recovery option on lock screen, even after entering wrong password for 10 to 15 times. Is there any way that I can use my phone without losing data?

Hi I'm having a problem with Galaxy 5 i5500 i have entered a pattern [the one wich you use to see the home screen] and i forgot it. now i entered the pattern wrong too many times and my phone is locked and asks me to enter a google account. i havent set up a google account in my samsung so i can't access it. can anyone help me if they could tell me how to reset it or factory reset it? i have tried the secret codes and they don't work.
Why is it that 90% of the time, the first thing people do when they get a phone or tablet is put in a password (same with laptops and desktops). While I'm at it, why in the blue hell do people always hide the password on the unlock screen when making vids on youtube? YEAH
ANYWAY, google is your friend bro. You should be able to boot the phone in recovery mode (someone please correct me if I'm wrong on that because I'm not 100% on it) and do a factory reset. I'm not going to take the time to google it or search XDA on how to do it for you though. I learned how to walk because my parents refused to carry me around for the rest of my life....just sayin
Hello,
Yesterday my Samsung Xcover 4 got wiped by "accident" (I believe it was a software bug).
Let me describe the case.
I have a Xcover 4 with original Nougat android (no root, no modifications at all).
I had only a pin lock - without encryption (it is important).
Yesterday I had a USB router option on, and was surfing web (yt etc).
Then I've lost internet connection and noticed that my phone hang. After couple seconds it rebooted.
When it boot up I saw a message "Phone is locked for security reasons, please input unlocking phrase".
Now this is a moment I've freaked out, but decided to put my regular PIN for screen lock.
I saw message "Checking" for like 15-20 seconds and then phone rebooted.
During boot instead of Samsung logo I got a "Removing" text.
And at this point all of my data was wiped.
Anybody has any idea what went wrong?
I lost all my photos, messages for no reason. It was ****ty day ;/
I assure you it was only 1 PIN try (and it was my proper screen lock code).
As phone is not rooted (+ FRP) therefore I'm not able to recover wiped data.
So my Dad uses a Galaxy Note 10 Plus. He works at a high level judiciary position i cant mention, so information stored on his phone are govt. classified stuffs. Security is very vital.
He is almost 70 , so memorising pins and password is not his thing.
Therefore he uses Face Unlock/Face ID feature and Fingerprint scanner for unlocking phone and securing his apps.
But this morning, for God knows what reason, his phone can ONLY by unlocked via GESTURE PATTERN.
The thing is, Dad never uses gesture pattern, he must have set it when he first recieved the phone from the govt. He doesnt recall the gesture anymore.
All the officials have been trying their luck with the gesture unlock to no avail.
He needs to recover his phone data fast.
Is there a way for him to unlock his phone using face ID, fingerprint, or even email authorisation or something like that??
As far as I know, after you've tried many times, you will get a messages "Forgot pattern" on the lower left corner of your lock screen. Touch Forgot pattern and enter Google Account info to clear the lock.
Just hope he can still remember the password for the google account!
Just keep on trying until the phone starts asking you for the account (mail) and it's password.
Use the account data (password) to unlock the phone.
It is possible that his employer has the phone under MDM (Mobile Device Management). That is very common on mobile devices that access secure information from an employer. It allows them to control settings on the phone. If so, they may be the ones that changed the settings and they also may be able to unlock the phone.
My Samsung Galaxy J7 have fingerprint lock and pin code lock. I forgot the pin code and now after my mobile is restarted it says
" Your phone was restarted and needs to be unlocked using your pin. You can use your fingerprints next time you unlock your phone".
What is the solution with out data loss. I have access to my gmail account.
I don't know why this issue started now days. .. but if u can access the Samsung account u can unlock it there . I did the same the other day . U didn't forget the pin but the phone forgot the pin. I don't know how it possible.. but I didn't change my pin for over a year and suddenly it says try later. Even now after I unlocked it thru Samsung findmydevice I can't setup pin or password.. it says setup crashed .. but I got my phone back
Hellow, I am the owner of a Samsung Galaxy S6 I think its Europe version because I bought it in spain.
In march 2020 I had decided to factory resset my phone because I had a lot of junk. To my surprise when the Welcome screen for a setup showed up and I was trying to set it up (I did this probably once a year) a message of "The phone was factory resseted on a anormal way please sign in to your samsung account to unlock the device". Keep in mind here in spain we were in a complete lock down. I did put my email and password it showed 2 messages and noething happned, and I know its not the wrong password because if i did type a random thing it will show "Wrong ID" so I tried contacting samsung but as we were on a lockdown it was imposible, I tried from find my phone (samsung version) and I clickcked on unlock phone (while the phone was connected to the inernet) but noething happned as a last resource I tried flashing a custom rom (I had Samsung Official Rom) but when I go to oddin mode or download mode it shows: Reactivation Lock: ON.
Is there any way to unlock it, my mothers phone is broken and she is in need of one.
I have attached some imagenes.
I hope I can find a fix, because the most anoing thins is that is supposed to be a mecanisim so if the phone gets stolen, but i have been the owner of it for 5 years
for starters, try the methods explained here
