Good afternoon! I already reset the settings once, because... The child installed a graphic key and does not remember which one. The account does not work because... the Internet was turned off.

Resetting the settings will destroy all your data from the tablet, including contacts, messages, accounts, and installed software. If there is no need for a reset, don't do it! In any unclear situation, it is better to contact a specialist. If you have any questions, ask them -

Sometimes even the best and highest quality smartphone can start to slow down, stop following user commands, or stop turning on altogether. Or maybe you forgot the graphic key - the password to access the device?

In this case, you can perform a complete reset to factory settings - Hard Reset, or “hard reset”. We will tell you how to do a Hard Reset on Fly with Android OS with minimal losses.

What to do before a hard reset?

Please note that a hard reset deletes all settings and data on your smartphone. Therefore, first figure out how to transfer contacts from your phone to a PC and save all the images, documents and other information important to you there. Synchronize with your Google account, transfer the most important contacts to a SIM card and save all the content of your device on external media. After all, after a Hard Reset, your phone will be completely “clean”.

Software Hard Reset

The first way to perform a hard reset is a soft reset. And it is carried out with the phone turned on. For this:

  • go to “Settings” of your smartphone;
  • select “Backup and reset”;
  • follow the prompts that appear.

This method is very simple. But it will only work if your smartphone is working in the correct mode and you have access to the menu. For example, if you need to clean your phone before selling it.

In most cases, a Hard Reset is required when the smartphone refuses to work or does not turn on at all. So, how to do a Hard Reset on a Fly that won’t turn on?

Please note that if you are not a specialist in the field of mobile device software or an advanced user, then to perform a hard reset, it is better to contact a service center, where professional technicians will carry out a safe hard reset procedure. It will take time to go to the service center, but this way you can be confident in the continued performance of your smartphone.

Any independent interventions in the smartphone software will remove the device from warranty service.

There are two ways to perform a hard reset. Let's look at both.

Method one

  1. Turn off the phone.
  2. We press three keys - two volume buttons (+ and -) and the power button - after which the Recovery menu opens in front of us.
  3. Find the Recovery mode item.
  4. Press the touch button “Home” (in the middle).
  5. Select “Wipe data/factory reset” using the volume buttons (+/-).
  6. Click the “Options” button (on the left).
  7. Use the volume buttons to go to the “Yes___delete all user data” item.
  8. Click on the “Options” button.
  9. We wait for the process to complete and select the “reboot system now” item using the same methods.

That's it, the data and settings on the phone are being reset.

Method two

  1. We take the phone in the switched off state.
  2. Press the volume + and – buttons (simultaneously).
  3. We look at the green screen that lights up, but do not release the button.
  4. We see the red screen and only now release the buttons. Next, press the volume up key.
  5. This way we enter the Recovery menu.
  6. We repeat steps 5-9 described above (Method one).

In some Fly smartphone models, the selection button is not the “Options” key, but the phone’s power key. If you are not sure about the correctness of your actions, study the videos and instructions specifically for your model or take the device to a specialist.

To get around the problem of any problems in the phone, it is often enough to use the hard reset function. This feature allows you to reset your settings to factory defaults and remove all installed applications. But there is one problem - hard reset is performed differently on different phone models. Let's look at how this procedure is carried out on fly phones.

After such cleaning, the tablet will return to its standard form for this model, as if it were out of the box. Let's look at all the ways to reset the system. Any hard reset looks like rebooting the tablet and formatting the information in it. In each specific case, the operation can be performed differently, for example, by clearing the SD card or resetting the pattern.

Before resetting system settings don't forget to save your data located on the tablet (SMS, contacts and other records). After a reset, all user entries are erased from memory along with the settings.

Method 1 - Through the menu(if the tablet turns on) Method 2 - Digital combination(if the tablet turns on) Method 3 - Using buttons(if the tablet does not turn on)

There are quite a lot of situations when the question arises about how to unlock a graphic key. You could either forget it yourself, or accidentally enter it incorrectly, or a child played with your device and accidentally turned it on. Next, we will describe how to unlock an Android pattern for any version of the OS on any device. It is worth noting that there is no universal solution to this problem, since each manufacturer slightly adjusts the operating system itself for its gadget, so there are several options. The methods are grouped depending on the device and ease of working with them. You will either have to try the one you like the most, or the one that is most suitable, or successively try several different ones to determine which one is suitable. It is important to find one that will allow you to get rid of the problem.

Simple options

You can use a fairly simple method, which in this case seems to be the most obvious of all. You will be required to enter the password for your Google account. There is one condition: you must have an account. If it is not there, then you should get it in advance. So, if you entered the described key incorrectly several times, your smartphone or tablet will prompt you to enter your account password. After entering, you will need to wait a few seconds, and after that the same pattern will be unlocked. If you have forgotten your account password, it is quite easy to recover it and then use it to enter it on your smartphone or tablet.

If you don’t have a computer or some other smartphone at hand to recover your password, you can use a locked device for these purposes, but this requires Wi-Fi or mobile Internet on it. If it turns out that Wi-Fi is turned off, you can turn it on yourself. To do this, press the button and then enter the combination *#*#7378423#*#*. Next, select the menu menu Service Test - Wlan, and then connect to Wi-Fi.

How to unlock a pattern: general case

You can also resort to this very simple and accessible method - make a call to a locked smartphone. This option does not work on all versions of Android, only on 2.2 and earlier. You will need to pick up the phone after the call, and then go to the security settings service and disable the lock using a pattern.

Another option for unlocking a phone for which the pattern key has been lost is to completely discharge the battery. To use it, you need to drain the device's battery. When the battery runs out, the smartphone will issue a corresponding notification, and when this notification is received, you can go to the power settings, then return to the menu one page, and then enter the security settings, where you can disable the option to use the pattern.

Using the SMS Bypass app

It is worth noting that using this method requires the user to have Root rights. And it can only help with preventing unwanted blocking. That is, the smartphone can be unlocked only if this application is installed in advance. Naturally, you can search hard and find hacked versions or free analogues, but it is better to use the original, which costs only one dollar.

If your smartphone has already been blocked, but you have an Internet connection, you can use the option of remotely installing this application via the web version of the Google Play Market service on your computer.

Now about the operation of the application itself. By default, the application has a password for unlocking the pattern in the form 1234. In order to unlock, you need to send an SMS from anywhere containing the text: 1234 reset. This will cause the smartphone to reboot, and then you can enter the pattern key and everything will work.

How to unlock a pattern key: more complex methods

It’s worth noting right away that this option involves partial loss of data on the smartphone, namely: your contacts and various messages will disappear, and settings will be lost. In this case, the device settings are reset, that is, it returns to the state it was originally, which is called “out of the box”. If you have a Google account, then contacts and notes can be easily restored from there, so it's worth getting one if you don't already have one. Each manufacturer has a different algorithm, so it is worth considering each of them separately.

How to unlock a Samsung pattern key

There are two options for the development of events. If you own an older smartphone model, you need to turn it off and then hold the Home button simultaneously with the on/off button. For new models, the algorithm is almost the same, but you will need to add one more button, namely, to increase the volume. This procedure will result in all settings being completely reset, after which you can restore your data from your account.


In this case, everything will be a little more complicated than with the device of the previous manufacturer. You will need to turn off your smartphone, then remove the battery and put it back in place. Next, you need to simultaneously hold down the volume down element and the power button. As soon as the Android image appears on the screen, the buttons can be released. However, this is not all regarding the question of how to unlock an HTC pattern. After this, you must use the volume buttons to navigate through the menu, and use the power button to select the desired item. Depending on the device model, this may be the Clear Storage or Factory Reset option. It is clear that you may have another smartphone at your disposal.

How to unlock Huawei pattern key

Here you should first turn off your device, and then remove the battery and insert it back. Next, you will need to hold down the volume button and the power button at the same time. When the Android image appears on the screen, you can release the buttons. You will see a menu that you need to navigate using the volume buttons, and using the power button you can select the desired menu item. And here we mean the wipe data / factory reset parameter. After rebooting the smartphone, the pattern will disappear. As in other cases, you will be required to restore your contacts.

First, you need to install the special Ericsson PC Suite application on your personal computer, which can be downloaded from the appropriate resource. Next, the smartphone can be connected to the computer. After this, run the program installed earlier, in which you must select “Tools”, and then “Data Recovery”. All your other actions regarding how to unlock a Sony graphic key must be carried out in accordance with the instructions offered by the program. Naturally, you will be required to restore all your contacts using backups made in advance.

How to unlock Prestigio graphic key

First, you must turn off your smartphone, then you can simultaneously press the volume up, power and Home buttons, which will allow you to enter Recovery. Your next steps are to complete several steps one by one. First, enter wipe data / factory reset, after which you can delete all user data, and then select All, now you are spared the need to enter a pattern. All that remains is to restore contacts.

How to unlock a pattern key: option to delete a file called gesture.key

There is a fairly simple algorithm for working with the device. The first method can be recommended for those who have an alternative to Recovery. You will need to download a file manager called Aroma. Next, you need to install it using Recovery. Using the /data/system/ path, you must delete the file called gesture.key. After this, you can restart your smartphone to enter any pattern. All you can do is be glad that your device is unlocked.

You can also use another method. You will need to delete the same gesture.key file by updating, that is, carry out a kind of substitution. You must first download the GEST.zip file. It should be installed using Recovery. The smartphone should be rebooted, after which you can enter any pattern. All that remains is to be glad that your smartphone is unlocked again.


In the case of phones from this manufacturer, as in other cases, the device must be turned off and fully charged. This option involves resetting to factory settings, so all your data will be deleted. For several different models the algorithm will be slightly different, it is worth considering the options.

If we talk about how to unlock the LG Nexus 4 pattern key, then everything is quite simple. You will need to simultaneously hold down both volume and power buttons for three to four seconds. An image of an android lying on its back will appear on the screen in front of you. Through use, you must find the Recovery Mode item, and then activate the power button to confirm your choice. This will cause your device to reboot, and Android will be presented on the screen. Again, you need to hold down the previously indicated buttons for a few seconds until the menu appears in front of you. Next, you will need to enter Settings - Factory Data Reset, where the choice should be “Yes”, for which you use the volume buttons to select, and to confirm the selection, use the power button.

The LG L3 model offers a slightly different option for opening the settings menu: simultaneously press “Home” + “Volume Down” + “Power”. For LG Optimus Hub, you have to press the Volume Down, Power and Home buttons at once.

Situation: I forgot the pattern key. How to unlock?

This is the essence of the problem - sometimes a situation occurs when the graphic password for a smartphone or tablet is simply forgotten. To return everything to its original state, and at the same time get your Android device in its usual form, you need to enable the special “USB Debugging” option on it. Many people know that this is a guarantee for a lot of possibilities: you can get root rights, develop applications on a computer with subsequent testing on a connected gadget, install custom Recovery, and much more. For all this you will need a simple program called ADB. Many users claim that anyone even slightly familiar with the ADB program is able to crack the lock of an Android smartphone or tablet with a pattern key in a couple of clicks. You don't need to get root rights to do this.

So, you will need a fairly simple set of tools. First of all, this is a computer on which the Android SDK application is installed, which includes the ADB program. In addition, you definitely need a USB cable through which your smartphone or tablet will connect to the computer, as well as the locked gadget itself that you will be working with. The author of the proposed method claims that hacking a device’s graphic key can be done using one of two options. Depending on what type of device you are working with, as well as its model, the first or second method, or both in turn, may work.

The first of them involves working with the command line. In the window you must enter the following combination: adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key. After this, you can reboot your device. Next, the same lock window containing the pattern key will appear in front of you again. And here is the most interesting thing: now the lock can be removed by entering any sequence.

You can also use an option that will require you to enter not just one command, but a whole sequence into the command line.

  • adb shell;
  • rm /data/system/locksettings.db;
  • rm /data/system/locksettings.db-wal;
  • rm /data/system/locksettings.db-shm;
  • reboot.


In addition, you can find ways to hack using a PIN code with a password. In this case, you will need to have root rights, or special firmware for your gadget.

The second method involves certain actions. You will need to connect the device to your computer, which will then launch a command line window, where you need to enter certain commands one by one.

  • adb shell;
  • cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases;
  • sqlite3 settings.db;
  • update system set value=0 where name="lock_pattern_autolock";
  • update system set value=0 where name="lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently";
  • .quit.

And now you can restart your smartphone or tablet and enjoy the results.

In this case, it doesn’t matter whether we are talking about a tablet or a smartphone, because there are two options for the development of events. For owners of most devices of this brand, a suitable method is to turn it off and then hold the Home button simultaneously with the on/off button. For newer models, the algorithm is similar, only you need to add one more button - increase the volume. This procedure will result in all settings being completely reset, after which you will be able to restore your data from your account, if you have one.

It often happens that the owner of a Fly smartphone installs a graphical lock on it in order to protect the device from their children. But if the child nevertheless took it and, trying to match the pattern, blocked the device, we have to solve this problem. If the phone does not have a lot of significant information, then you can take the simplest path, that is, reset its settings to factory settings. This is done quite simply. You will need to turn off your smartphone, while the battery must be charged. Now you should simultaneously hold down the volume up and “power” buttons. This will take you to the recovery menu. Next, using the volume down button, you should go down to the Wipe data/factory reset line, which can then be activated using the power button. After this, a new menu will open, where you will be required to select the line containing Yes-delete all user data, this is done using the same volume control and power buttons. Next, you will again find yourself in the recovery menu, where this time you will be required to activate the first line - Reboot. That's all for the hot boot process; now all that remains is to restore the data, partially or completely.

As in the case of using a smartphone based on the Android control platform from any other manufacturer, in this case the possibility of accidentally blocking your device with a graphic key cannot be ruled out. You could simply rummage through the settings, stumble upon such an item, enable this option, enter some arbitrary picture, and then find yourself in a difficult situation. The device might require you to enter a key, and you either enter it incorrectly or completely forget, which also happens. And here you will need instructions on how to get out of this situation.

You can arrange a so-called “hot reboot” for your device - this is a method that is distinguished by its versatility, but it leads to the loss of certain data on your device, that is, now you will have to restore your contacts or re-enter them manually.

You will need to enter the recovery of your device. To do this, you need to turn it off, then simultaneously hold down a button such as volume up, turning on the charger plug, until the android with an exclamation mark appears on the screen in front of you. After this, you can release the volume button. Now you should press the power button, and without releasing it, press and release the volume up button. Now you find yourself in recovery, which is why such a complex sequence of actions was needed.

To begin, you will need to select Wipe data / factory reset. After this, you can start rebooting your smartphone using the Reboot system now item. This completes all procedures. When working with the recovery menu, you can use the volume buttons to select the desired menu item, as well as the power button to confirm the choice.

This unlocking method can be called quite new. You will need to download a file called Gest.zip, and then rename it to update.zip, after which the resulting archive will be moved to the SD card. The device must have recovery, and it doesn’t matter which one. The process itself is quite simple and straightforward. Reboot your device into Recovery mode. In the menu that you will see in front of you, control occurs through the volume and power buttons, the first helps you select the desired item, and the second helps you confirm the choice. You will need to find an item called Install zip from SdCard, or something similar in content, and select it. Once the menu opens, you can select the file called update.zip that you previously saved. This will start the firmware process. After all this, all you have to do is start your device, enter any pattern, and that’s it, your Android will be unlocked.

How to unlock Explay pattern key

If the list of simple options outlined at the very beginning of the article turned out to be useless for you, then all that remains is to perform a “hot reboot” of your device. As with devices from other manufacturers, you need to be in the recovery menu. To do this, you must hold down the volume button, namely, its decrease, together with the power button. When the settings appear before your eyes, you can release these buttons. You should find the Wipe Data//Factory Reset item. You can get to it using the same volume buttons, and confirm your choice using the paddle to turn on the power. As a result of the choice you make, all settings will be completely reset to factory settings. This will cause all information from the device’s memory to be erased, leaving only the memory card intact. You can restore your contacts if you took care of saving them in your Google Account in advance. That is why it is recommended to use this opportunity so as not to find yourself in a difficult situation if your device fails for some reason.

As you can see, there are quite a few ways to get rid of a pattern that could unexpectedly become a problem for you. However, if you are not prepared for the associated losses, then it is best not to use this option, so as not to end up with a complete lack of important and valuable information.

Have you tried to protect the data on your phone with a numeric password or pattern? Now you can't remember your password and use your phone? Such problems lie in wait for many - forgetting identification data, people cannot access the contents and functionality of their devices. How to unlock your phone if you forgot your password? In our review you will find the most detailed and simple instructions to remove the password request.

Here are the main unlocking methods?

  • Flashing – new software is uploaded to the phone;
  • Hard Reset – reset to factory settings;
  • Programs and services from manufacturers - contain built-in unlocking tools;
  • Deleting files with passwords and keys – through the file system;
  • Holes in security systems – relevant for old pipes;
  • Through another user – for multi-user devices;
  • Password reset apps are a great tool for many devices.

We will look at all these methods in detail and outline unlocking schemes for phones from various manufacturers.

It's nice to know that some manufacturers take care of the users of the devices they develop by offering additional services. A typical example is Samsung, which created the Samsung Account service. It contains functions for remotely erasing information from Samsung smartphones and tablets, functions for remotely blocking devices, as well as functions for finding them. That is, if the lost device is not found, all important and confidential data can be easily deleted via the Internet.

How to unlock a Samsung phone if the password has been forgotten? To do this, use the “Find My Phone” function with its sub-function “Unlock my device”. It allows you to restore the functionality of your smartphone or tablet by resetting the screen lock settings. To do this, you need to go to the official website of the service, select the “Find phone” item, make sure there is a connection with the device and click on the “Unlock my device” button. After this, a command to reset the lock settings will be sent to the smartphone/tablet.

In order to take advantage of this functionality, you must first lock your phone/tablet by allowing remote control via Samsung Account in the security settings. In addition, the locked device must be connected to the Internet.


The developers of the Android operating system have taken care to make it easier to restore access to smartphones and tablets if you lose your password. For this purpose, a link to a Google account is provided. It is she who will help us in the matter of restoring access to the contents and functionality of the Android device. How to unlock your phone using your Google account?

If you enter the password incorrectly, your phone will be locked for some time. That is, we are given time to remember the ill-fated password. Temporary blocking also prevents hackers from trying to guess your password. After five attempts to enter the password incorrectly, the phone will prompt us to enter the password for our Google account. We remember the password, enter it in the field that opens - the lock is lifted! Now we need to go to the security settings and reset the password, since we couldn’t remember it.

From this we can conclude that to successfully restore access to your device, you need to know and remember the password for your Google account - write it down and save it in a safe place. This place could be your phone box.


Let's return to unlocking Samsung phones, since we have not discussed another way to restore access - using an additional PIN code. It is assigned when setting the main security password and includes four digits. Here you need to enter numbers that you will definitely never forget. If you have forgotten the main password, allow several attempts to enter it incorrectly, after which you will have access to the PIN code entry form - enter the treasured numbers and restore access to your phone.

Do not specify too simple digital combinations as a PIN code - this may help attackers gain access to the data stored on your phone. Enter here, for example, the PIN code of your credit card, which only you know.


How to unlock a password on your phone if all the above methods do not work? You can use a very simple solution - perform a factory reset. The disadvantage of this technique is that all data from the internal memory will be completely deleted(only the contents of the memory card will remain). How to perform a master reset if access to the menu is blocked? To do this, you need to enter Recovery Mode - this is done using combinations of buttons pressed when turning on the phone. What kind of combinations could these be?

  • Both volume buttons and power button;
  • Volume up button, home button and power button;
  • Volume Down button, Home button and Power button.

There are also many other button combinations that allow you to put your phone into Recovery Mode - look for the corresponding instructions on our website or on specialized forums. After entering Recovery Mode, you need to find and select “wipe data/factory reset”. Having confirmed your intentions, you will start the reboot process, resetting the device to factory settings. At the same time, the previously set password will be deleted.

If you don't want to lose important data, make it a habit to regularly create and save backup copies of your files. Cloud services are also used for this.


This method is one of the most radical, as it allows you to completely replace the software on your phone. At the same time, the interfering blockage is removed. How to unlock a phone through flashing? To do this, you need to figure out how to flash your phone - look for suitable instructions, download firmware files and programs, charge the battery. After this, we connect the phone to the computer, launch the software, select the firmware files, and perform other operations provided for in the instructions. We start the flashing and wait for the procedure to complete - then we enjoy the absence of blocking.

Flashing phones is carried out using special software, which is selected depending on the handset manufacturer and its model. For example, the Odin program is used to flash phones from Samsung - here owners of handsets from the South Korean giant are very lucky, since the program is very easy, and even an inexperienced user can handle the flashing procedure. Fly and Sony phones are flashed using the Flashtool application - it’s quite easy, but it won’t hurt to re-read the instructions once again.

Chinese phones running on MTK processors (and other handsets with these processors, for example, from MegaFon or Beeline) are flashed using the SP Flash Tool program. There is nothing complicated in it, so in most cases the flashing is successful - you just need to blindly follow the instructions, and not conduct experiments, playing with the program parameters.

Remember that flashing your phone, like resetting it to factory settings, involves complete loss of data stored in the internal memory.


This method is relevant for owners of very old handsets, where it is very easy to bypass the protection by fraudulent means. A typical example is bypassing a block using a regular phone call. The protection breaks down like this: we call a locked phone from another phone, accept the call, and while making the call, go to the settings and turn off the password request. Next, we drop the call and enjoy the unlocked phone. This security hole is present on smartphones with the Android 2.2 operating system and lower..

Modern phones don’t have this, so you can’t really rely on this method - but owners of old handsets will be incredibly happy with this method of disabling the lock.

Another hole lies in the process of discharging the battery. At a certain stage, the system will notify you of a strong discharge and the need to connect a charger. At this point we can click on the link to show battery usage statistics. From here we will go to settings and disable the password request. Naturally, this method does not work in modern phones, so you can’t count on it - it’s better to familiarize yourself with other methods that are more effective and efficient.


Have you given your phone superuser rights and are enjoying features not available to other users? In this case, you need to take care that you may forget your password - let's try to create a workaround. To do this, we will use the extremely useful SMS Bypass application. Download it, install it in your phone, go to settings and set a digital code - it will serve as the key to unlocking the handset.

How to unlock your phone using SMS Bypass? To do this, you need to send an SMS with the text “XXXX reset” to your number - instead of XXX, enter the previously specified digital code. Having received the SMS, the phone will reboot, after which it will prompt you to enter the password again– enter arbitrary numbers and get an unlocked handset at your disposal.

To obtain root rights, use the instructions on our website or look for a more suitable solution on specialized resources and forums.


Have you forgotten your password and can't use your phone's features? We have already said that resetting the password is done by resetting to factory settings - this is done using Recovery Mode. But what if your phone doesn’t have this mode? Then we try another solution - if when entering a password it is possible to select a keyboard for dialing, you should dial the general reset code on it or the exit code to the engineering menu. Find the corresponding codes on specialized forums and try to use them to unlock your phone.

Do not enter commands whose purpose you do not know - such actions can lead to the most unpredictable consequences, including the complete loss of the phone’s functionality.


Are you an experienced user, and do you have root rights and custom CWM recovery on your phone? Then you can unlock the handset in one of the most advanced ways. To do this, you will need the Aroma file manager, which should be downloaded to your memory card. Next, turn off the phone and turn it on with the transition to CWM, install the application, go to the system folder /data/system and delete four files there - locksettings.db-shm, locksettings.db-wal, locksetting.db and gesture.key. These files store data about installed passwords and graphic keys.

This unlocking method is available only on prepared phones and only to prepared users. To obtain superuser rights and install custom recovery, use the appropriate instructions. Do not perform actions or launch programs whose purpose you do not know - this way you will protect your phone from being “bricked”.


How to unlock your phone if you forgot your PIN code? You are given three attempts to enter the correct PIN code.. If all attempts have been exhausted, the phone will prompt you to enter a PUK code - you can find it in the connection kit or request it through your operator's help desk by calling the hotline. After entering the correct PUK code, the phone will unlock and prompt you to assign a new PIN code - save it somewhere safe.

You have ten attempts to enter the PUK code. If all attempts were incorrect, the SIM card will be permanently blocked - you will have to get a duplicate at the nearest communication store. There are no other available ways to unlock your phone if you have forgotten your PIN code.


If your phone runs on Windows Phone, you can unlock it through the operating system's website. By logging in with your username and password, you will find a linked phone in your personal account and will be able to unlock it. This unlocking method works on Lumia handsets and handsets from other manufacturers.

Another way to unlock your phone on Windows Phone is to perform a factory reset (useful if you don’t remember your account login and password). To reset, press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons until they vibrate. Release all buttons and press the volume down button again, holding it until an exclamation mark appears on the display. Now press the volume up, volume down, power and volume down buttons in sequence - after a while the phone will reset.

Please note that this procedure involves completely deleting all data stored on the phone - do not forget to make backup copies.


How to unlock a Samsung phone if you forgot your password? To restore prepared handsets, you can use the Samsung Account service. If you have not prepared your phone for remote control, try going into Recovery Mode and performing a reset. The last method is to flash the phone via Odin.

In order to unlock your phone from MTS, you can use a general reset or flashing. If your handset has root and CWM, try installing Aroma and deleting the files responsible for blocking. Many other phones, for example from ZTE, Lenovo or Fly, are unlocked in a similar way. And to unlock your Nokia phone, you can use the MyNokiaTool application (for computer).

In order to unlock your LG phone, you should use flashing, general reset or custom recovery with the Aroma file manager. In addition, some LG smartphones assign an additional PIN code that will help you unlock your phone if you have forgotten your password. A similar function is available in many modern smartphones from Samsung.

The most universal way to unblock is to use a Google account - try to learn the password for your account or save it in some safe place. If none of the above helps, contact the nearest service center.

Having secured your phone on the Android operating system using a special pattern key, the user may encounter an unexpected difficulty. If a person forgets the sequence of dots, access to the phone will be blocked.

There are 5 simple ways to regain access to your gadget, which do not require special efforts, special technical skills or obtaining root rights.

Method 1. Through a Google account

There are two important conditions for this method: the phone must be connected to the Internet, and the user must have a Google account:

  1. Enter the wrong key 5 times
  2. Wait until a window appears with the text “Forgot your pattern?”
  3. Enter your email address and password

After the system confirms your access, you can create a new graphic key for your phone. By the way, you can recover your forgotten account password on the official Google website.

How to access Wi-Fi on a locked smartphone:

  • Click on the emergency call button
  • Enter the combination *#*#7378423#*#*
  • Select Service Test – WLAN
  • Connect to an access point

Method 2: Using a dead battery

You can unlock the graphic password on your phone using the system notification of a low battery. To do this, wait until the battery charge level drops below 10%. A warning will appear on your phone screen. After that, switch to the gadget's power management menu. From here you can go to the security settings, where you can change the pattern.

Method 3. Deleting a pattern file on a PC

The system file gesture.key contains data about the graphic key. Accordingly, by deleting this file, you can regain access to your phone:

  • Activate the developers menu. To learn how to do this, read the material about the hidden capabilities of Android.
  • Install the ADB Run program on your PC or laptop.
  • Connect your smartphone to PC
  • Enable USB Debugging
  • Run ADB Run
  • Select Unlock Gesture Key
  • Press Enter

Method 4: Reset to factory settings

Quite a radical method, since this completely clears the internal memory of the phone. If you decide to reset your settings, we recommend doing some preliminary preparation: transfer important files to an external hard drive, and transfer contacts to your PC. To be on the safe side, you can back up:

  • Go to Android settings
  • Click on "Backup and Reset"
  • Select “Data backup”
  • Press the power button
  • Specify the account for the backup

Resetting your phone's settings is done in the engineering menu Recovery. To get there, you need to hold down the power button and the volume down or up key. In the menu itself you need to do the following:

  • Select the command "recovery mode"
  • Switch to “Wipe Data / Factory Reset”
  • Click Yes.
  • Select the command “reboot system now”

Please note that this algorithm works on all Fly phones.

Method 5. Contact the service center

If for one reason or another you do not dare to use the methods described above, the easiest way is to take your locked phone to a service center, where a qualified technician will solve the problem.

As the simplest method of protecting your smartphone from prying eyes (and sometimes hands), a regular system lock is a universal option. Whatever one may say, it is almost impossible to guess a given combination of numbers, but such protection can turn against the owner of the device. Phone passwords are forgotten so often that there is a whole range of possible methods to bypass it, relevant both for all Android devices and for smartphones from specific manufacturers.

How to unlock your phone if you forgot your pattern password

How to unlock Lenovo phone– as a universal method that fits almost any device, you can call logging into your personal Google account. If there is a network connection, the graphic key can either be changed immediately or removed completely. Unlike other competitors, Lenovo does not have simple and accessible tools to remove the pattern lock, which is, of course, bad. If you forget it, you will have to use either the services of a workshop, or unlock it through a regular reset in the “Recovery” mode (see the section on “hacking” a little lower for more on this).

How to unlock a Samsung phone- the same manufacturer is much better prepared for such situations and even offers a special program for a personal computer. If you also failed to log into your Google account, download the “Samsung @ home” or “ ” program (on older devices). After connecting the device via a USB cable, it will be automatically found and full access to all files of the smartphone, its system and everything that is there will appear in the utility window. Using a special item about resetting the graphic password, the smartphone will be automatically unlocked.

Unlock Sony– there are two possible solutions to such a problem: using special code or a program. Please note that the code allows you to bypass the lock in just a few seconds without any unnecessary fraud, but only works on Xperia series devices.

To do this, repeat the following steps: press the “Emergency call” button - enter the code “#*#7378423#*#” - select “Service Test” from the menu that appears. In the resulting list of actions, click on “NFC”, and then immediately on “NFC Diag Test”, which will launch the most common diagnostics of the device and after it, the system itself (without a graphic password).

If nothing works or the device belongs to a different family, you will have to download the “PC Companion” application - similar in principle to “Samsung @ home”.

How to unlock your LG phone– here everything is much more complicated and there is no program for resetting the graphic key. Instead, like Sony devices, they have special codes, which, however, change for each new model. An independent solution to such a problem can only be resetting all settings and files, which is inconvenient, annoying, but necessary. Otherwise, you will have to visit a workshop or resort to third-party programs on your PC.

How to unlock Fly– there is only one possible course of action: call your own blocked phone and pick up the phone. During a “conversation”, use the “Home” key to go to the device menu – “settings” and turn off the pattern protection there. This method can work with a 50/50 chance, and if your smartphone does not allow this, only a reset will help.

How to remove (remove) a pattern key from Android

If the smartphone is still unlocked, but there is a need to remove the graphic code, this can be done in the “security settings”. In case of blocking, you will have to switch to “Recovery” mode and reset the user settings (rollback). Do not confuse it with the “hard reset” item, which deletes absolutely all data; a regular rollback of settings will not damage any information, but will allow you to configure the phone from scratch.

How to switch to “Recovery” mode: turn off the smartphone - simultaneously hold down the volume up and power keys. Control is performed using the volume keys and the “Home” button (not the sensor).

Advice: If the reset did not give anything and the settings did not “roll back” to the beginning, remove the SIM card, SD card from the device and try the procedure again.

A specially prepared archive “Gest.zip” will help with such fraud, which can be downloaded from the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/upxad2wcgaf2udg/GEST.zip. It will help you crack the pattern, but before you can unlock the device, you will have to “update” it. Rename the archive to “update.zip” and go to the already mentioned “Recovery” mode. In it, go to the “Install zip from SdCard” item and reflash your system with this file. Please note that the graphic key itself will remain, but now the system will consider any code (no matter what) valid.

How to unlock your phone if you forgot your numeric password (key)

The situation is absolutely identical. In order to correct such an incident, there are three possible actions:

  • Use special programs on your PC;
  • Reflash the device;
  • And reset all settings to the initial state.

Please note that the model of the device itself does not play a special role here (only the presence of software) and other methods cannot cope with a forgotten key.

Programs for unlocking phones

In addition to the official and already mentioned programs, intended strictly for smartphones of a certain family, there are a number of unofficial ones. Some of them worth trying are:

The program works strictly through a script in which you need to write commands such as:

  • update system set value=0 where name=`lock_pattern_autolock`;
  • Then: update system set value=0 where name=`lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently`;
  • Next: .quit
  • And adb reboot.

If all else fails, then the programs are not suitable for your case and see the next section.

– installed not on the PC, but directly on the device. By entering the application from Recovery mode, you can simply delete the “GESTURE.KEY” file, which can also help.

If all else fails - the last 100% way to reset your password

If none of the options work, you will have to take extreme measures. Enter the “Recovery” mode using the previously specified key combination, then instead of the usual “Reset” select “Hard Reset”. As a result, the device will be completely cleaned, including settings, user information, contacts, and even media files downloaded to the smartphone. It will be a completely empty device.

How to prevent your phone from being accidentally locked

Before hacking the pattern, you can simply try to prevent it from turning on itself. Any smartphone has a number of tools that determine when the device should be locked and when not. For example, to prevent your smartphone from being blocked, disable this function in the item about display settings, etc. (all settings for the graphic key are located in the “security” section, and even if you accidentally entered the wrong code several times, you can do this ad infinitum).

Well, the last piece of advice: choose a convenient code that you can repeat even automatically. It is much more difficult to forget, or rather almost impossible.

Option 1

1. You need to turn off the gadget
2. Clamp Volume Up + Nutrition for a short time
3. When we see the Android logo or logo on the display Fly stop pressing buttons
4. To enter Recovery mode, press the button Nutrition
5. Using the keys Volume Adjustment in the menu select wipe data/factory reset and confirm by pressing Power

7. Finally, to complete and reboot, select reboot system now

8. After restart, the reset will be completed

Option 2

1. Go to Phone Settings

2. Choose Recovery and reset

3. Then click on Reset settings

4. Click the Reset button and agree to the destruction of all personal information
5. The reset process will be completed after the gadget restarts

Fly 5S factory reset

Attention!
  • For the factory reset to be successful, it is advisable to charge the battery to 80%.
  • After performing a hard reset, all your personal applications and data installed in the internal memory of the phone will be deleted.
  • Videos and images for some items may not match your specific phone model.
