Have you locked your Android device with pattern lock security and have forgotten your pattern? Well, if the answer is yes then here I am with some of the small tricks as a solution to your problem.

Today many android phone user uses the inbuilt unlock pattern to give security to their phone which is very easy to use but sometimes too many wrong attempts locks your phone permanently. The simple way to get back to your phone is to enter the user id and password in the Google Play Store but what if you have stopped data usage in your phone? In that case you can’t be connected with internet. The most common solution what people try for this situation is to go to Samsung care center and pay them for doing some simple steps to retrieve your phone back. But why to pay them when you can try your own hands on it at the cost of just 10 minutes of your time. Just follow any of the following method and you are there with your device unlocked. It’s as easy as to chat on whatsapp ;). Just follow these simple steps to unlock your phone and use again free of cost. I have tried these techniques on Samsung Galaxy Y (Young). Probably it may work on all android devices.

 

METHOD 1:-

Note - This method involves wiping off all data on your phone, including installed apps and setting that you have done.

1.      Turn the phone off the phone

2.      Long press the upper volume key, menu key and the power key simultaneously.
Relieve them for a fraction of time as soon as you see the screen display as "Samsung Galaxy Y young" again press the 3 keys simultaneously.

3.      Now you will see a screen displaying "Android system Recovery".

4.      Select the 3rd option ("Wipe data/factory reset") using the volume keys and press the center menu key.

5.      Select the "Yes" option again using the same keys.

6.      After some time, it will say, the reset is done.

7.      Just select the reboot option and your phone is UNLOCKED.

Though it will wipe all your data, i find it relevant as it saves some of your bucks.

But, if you don’t want to lose your precious data then you can try one of the following methods.

These methods are tested by me on a rooted device but it may work on unrooted devices too. So, loosing warranty is not an issue. It just requires only a personal computer or a laptop & device specific drivers installed in it. So, go ahead & unlock your device with some simple commands.

METHOD 2:-

Pre-requisites:

It is recommended to charge your device up to 60% battery level.

(Important!) “USB debugging” option must be enabled in your device. Without this, you’ll NOT be able to crack the pattern lock. Disable Antivirus or any security application installed in your PC. In some cases, Root is required to make it work.

(Optional) If “USB Debugging” is disabled then you’ll have to install a Custom Recovery (like CWM) on your phone.

 Procedure:

1.      Download ADB & Fastboot Files from the link: ADB & Fastboot files for Android

2.      Extract ‘Fastboot.zip‘ (the one you’ve just downloaded) to any convenient location on your PC (may be Desktop).

3.      After extracting the zip file, open Fastboot folder. You’ll find following 4 files inside it.

adb.exe

AdbWinApi.dll

AdbWinUsbApi.dll

fastboot.exe

4.      Now connect your Android phone to the Computer.

5.      On PC, in fastboot folder, hold shift button & right click on empty space (Check the image below).

6.      Select “Open command window here” option.

7.      In command prompt, type following command to ensure that if your device is properly connected or not.

adb devices

8.      After entering above command, some random numbers will appear (Check the image given below). This confirms that your device is connected properly. Now there are two methods to crack unlock pattern. Choose one which is applicable on your device.

Method a : (Applicable on Samsung Phones. May or may not work with other devices)

Type the following commands one by one (and hit enter after each command).

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

Method b: (Applicable on non-Samsung devices. May or may not work with Samsung Phones. You can try though):

adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key

After typing all these commands, restart your phone.

As soon as your device gets rebooted, you’ll see the pattern lock isn’t unlocked yet. Well don’t worry just enter any pattern & phone will get unlock automatically.

Method 3:- Solution For Everyone With Recovery (Cwm, Twrp, Xrec,Etc...) Installed:

1. Download this zip Pattern Password Disable (Download Link ) on to your sdcard (using your     PC, as you can’t get into your phone, right )
2. Insert the sdcard into your phone
3. Reboot into recovery mode
4. Flash the zip
5. Reboot
6. Done!

Method 4:- Solution For Everyone Without Recovery Installed - ADB :

2. Type:     sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb

3. Copy the Code [Enter] and close the terminal window
4. Connect you (turned on) Phone to the Computer via USB.
5. Open a terminal window.
6. Type

adb devices

adb shell

cd data/system

rm *.key

Copy the Code and it’s Done!
7. Now you just need to reboot your Android.

If the above code doesn’t work then you can try the below code:

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

Copy the Code and Reboot your Android
