Can’t remember pattern lock Samsung phone? It’s a common problem that many Samsung users face. Losing access to your phone due to a forgotten pattern lock can be frustrating, but don’t worry, there are ways to reset it and regain access to your device.
Firstly, if you have set up a backup of your Samsung phone, you can easily reset the pattern lock by following the steps provided in the backup. This method requires you to have previously enabled the ‘Find My Mobile’ feature on your phone. Here’s how to do it:
1. Go to the Samsung website and log in to your Samsung account.
2. Navigate to the ‘Find My Mobile’ section.
3. Select your device and choose the ‘Unlock my device’ option.
4. Enter your Samsung account credentials and follow the on-screen instructions to reset the pattern lock.
However, if you haven’t set up a backup or enabled the ‘Find My Mobile’ feature, you can still reset the pattern lock using the following methods:
1. Using the Google Account: If you have signed in to your Samsung phone with a Google account, you can use it to reset the pattern lock. Here’s how:
– Turn on your Samsung phone and wait for the lock screen to appear.
– Tap on ‘Forgot pattern?’ or ‘Forgot PIN?’ or ‘Forgot password?’
– Enter your Google account credentials and follow the on-screen instructions to reset the pattern lock.
2. Factory Reset: If the above methods don’t work, you can perform a factory reset on your Samsung phone. This will erase all data on your device, so make sure to backup important information before proceeding. Here’s how:
– Turn off your Samsung phone and press and hold the Volume Up, Bixby, and Power buttons simultaneously.
– Release the buttons when the Samsung logo appears on the screen.
– Navigate to the ‘Wipe data/factory reset’ option using the Volume buttons and select it using the Power button.
– Confirm the factory reset by selecting ‘Yes’ when prompted.
Remember to keep your Samsung phone secure by setting up a strong password or PIN, and enabling the ‘Find My Mobile’ feature to prevent future lockout issues. If you’re still unable to reset the pattern lock, it’s recommended to contact Samsung customer support for further assistance.
