I'm using samsung galaxy A51 global version.
Recently, I changed my lock screen pin code at night and never tried to unlock with the pin until the pin code is required instead fingerprint.
So, when I tried to unlock with the pin code , it says the pin is incorrect. I tried pin several times but failed and it's time blocked and there is no option to reset password like older versions of samsung phones.
I have so many personal data in my phone, so I need to unlock my phone somehow. Please, help me if there is any way to unlock the phone without losing the internal memory data.
hello good, enter your Gmail account, from there you can change the password.

Hi, Its only possible if u already had twrp installed, in that case enter the twrp file manager and delete the following:
/data/system/locksettings.db
/data/system/locksettings.db-shm
/data/system/locksettings.db-wal
you can enter google from a computer, enter search and change password

I get a error when side loading with xap deploy the root tools
error: failed to connect as device is pinl ocked.
i have unlock code if that helps
please help me thanx to all
Is the phone at the lock screen? I mean, the error isn't exactly unclear - it says your phone is locked with a PIN. Unlock the phone and then try deploying again.
This is a security measure so that if some random person steals your phone, they can't install an app to steal all your data off it without knowing your PIN.
SIM LOCK
I had not put a sim lock on the card.
When i use dev xap deployment it says
error : Failed it is pin locked
are we talking about phone locked on network or sim locked?
I have the phone unlock code
i do not have a alternate sim code
anyone please help,
today i went to android device manager website and tried to locate my phone remotely (just to check how it works), thereafter i thought how locked phone seems and i unlock the phone with a password. Now my phone is locked.
i know the password but don't know why it's not working.
Any way to unlock the phone WITHOUT RESETTING it. please help.

Have you tried locking again from device manager and set a new password?
Hi all
I've recently reset my wife's phone so my son can use it.
However, after factory reset (using the buttons) when it reboots I cannot set it up.
It says that an "Abnormal factory reset" has been performed and asks for my wife's Samsung email/password.
When we put this in - it's rejected (actually, it says signing in but nothing happens).
We've reset the password but it still won't work.
I'd be happy to just format it an put a clean custom ROM on it but I don't know how.
All guides I find say it needs to be rooted first and to enable USB developer options - but I cannot unlock the phone to get to this stage.
Could someone please help me figure it out? Samsung can't (they want us to send it to them for a chargeable repair!)
Thanks
Matt

Hi, you don't need to root before flashing.
Samsung is AWESOME FOR THIS.
You can flash at any desperate moment.
It is time to install Android 10 for the dummies : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/guide-tutorial-howto-samsung-galaxy-s6-t4108425
Thanks. I managed to fix it though.
I had to get the L2 Samsung account support to disable two-factor authentication.
Then the password worked and the phone unlocked.
The "this phone is blocked" screen requires your Samsung password but isn't smart enough to work with two factor auth (which is default turned on for all Samsung accounts). #facepalm

Nope the twofacauth is not turned on by default for Sam acc or any other acc on this Planet...that must be activate and config by user.
But if you have the right knowledge you could flash other Rom even if the Phone is lock by google. You just need to know how to.

i found my old phone and i wanted to set it up as my backup phone but unfortunatly i forgot my passcode. I tried to recover it by hard resseting it but after reboot it went up with activation lock. i dont have access to my phone nuber connected to this phone but i changed my phone number recently. i tried almost everything, but i cant do anything. in case somebody will ask i tried to do it through fastboot but bootloader is locked
Edit : Nevermind i raged and destroyed it
Hi guys, i have a samsung a51 and i had to hard reset because i forgot the pin to unlock the phone. Now after restarting, it needs old pin or google account. I don't remember the old pin and the google account. I tried to install TWRP and then install a custom rom, but the phone needs to unlock the bootloader from developer settings that i can't activate because i can't start the phone.
Thank you all.
