It's frustrating when you want to open your phone and you forgot your lock screen pattern. Getting your phone working again is pretty simple. I know two(2) ways to unlock it if you completely forgot how to unlock it. You can either use your Google account or hard reset your device. I will show you both. Show This might not work for all phones as different phones have different designs especially later models (In this tutorial, my phone is running Gingerbread). Additionally, you can go back to where you bought your device or to a professional but that will cost money; the ones I'm showing you are free.

Just follow them and you'll be fine.

Hard reset will set your device to factory settings. (Just like when you bought it.) - If you're successful, an option will appear. Select "System Recovery" by pressing volume up. On some phones, it goes directly to the Android System Recovery Screen . - You'll see the Android System Recovery screen (If you don't see it, try again with other key combinations) Add TipAsk QuestionCommentDownload Step 3: Hard Reset and DoneAfter you press the buttons in the previous step, an option will appear. Select "System Recovery" by pressing volume up. - Using the volume rocker, select "wipe/factory data reset"(in my case, the 3rd option shown) - Select it by tapping on the left soft key (the key used for menu/options or menu in some phones) - Confirm it by selecting yes - Wait for it to finish - After that, press home button to go back and select "reboot device" (1st option shown). - This might take longer than usual because your device is configuring. - After that, you'll see your home screen and you're done. Just like when you bought it. Add TipAsk QuestionCommentDownload 7 People Made This Project!
