[Completed] [Q] Samsung S5 locked out(bypass lock or enable internet needed)

Hi there I have been searching for away to unlock my samsung s5 for months now as i do not want to loose my data with a reset . I am looking for away to turn on the data connection so i can reset the lock,or a bypass ,or any to recover my photos and videos ,or away to recover them after a factory reset i think that last one could be hard.I do not have custom firm ware and the system is in its default settings that it came with any help would be greatly appreciated.Also when the new samsung is released does glitchs to do this usually appear after then if there is none yet.

Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Unfortunately that's the entire point to having phone security, if you don't know the password you can't do anything with the device. If there was some kind of readily available back-door type thing then the security measures world be completely pointless. You're just gonna have to bite the bullet and perform a factory reset, you'll lose your data, but that's why it's crucial to remember your password.
Good luck!

Reset pin without losing data

I forgot my hauwei pattern and used adb to remove the pattern. It worked. However, there is a pin code forgotten as well that shows up after restarting. How do I reset the pin without losing my data?

Hire a FRP removal service. ​

Screenlock samsung

Hi bros
Is there a way to bypass screenlock or pattern on samsung phones without loose data ?
Example g930f U8 frp on oem on
But i can't loose data

Any factory reset will cause complete user data lose.

I know
I don't want make factory reset

Then you need to remember the code or use your Samsung or Google account to regain access.
That's it as far as I know. A data recovery specialist -might- be able too but it's not easy or cheap.
I never set a lock screen, bios password etc and redundantly backup critical data to multiple hdds because of this. I never encrypt backup data drives. If you don't plan ahead properly it's only a matter of time until you lose critical data.

Samsung Data Recovery

Hello,
I wanted to know if there is any way to recover old data from a wiped phone (pictures, notes, Whatsapp data). My phone had a max incorrect attempt limit which would wipe the phone data if reached. I tried to use my backup that I had but Google is requiring my old PIN code for my lock screen. I can't remember the PIN, as far as Whatsapp is concerned, apparently the backup did not save to Google drive ( I think it may have been set to save locally). Any help would be appreciated!

I am trying to help where I just googled for what the answer might be and there seems to be a bunch of ways to recover deleted data (although I'm sure the level of success depends on how well it was deleted and wiped clean and overwritten multiple times with all zeroes, etc.).
Here are some of those hits which "might" help (you'll have to test them).
