Hack Android lock screen pattern, PIN or password Unlock

1. Unlock Android Phone Without Internet Connection

Hard Reset

This is another method that you can use in order to unlock your Android device. However, this should only be used as a last resort as using this method will erase all the data on your phone. You should only use this method if none of the other methods are working on your device, specially if you haven’t backed up the data on your Android device. Hard reset basically formats your phone to the initial condition that it was in when you first used it. It will remove all your data, settings and information.

Step 1

Firstly, switch off your device and enter into recovery mode. Different Android devices have different methods to boot into recovery, but all of them use hardware keys. For most Android devices, you’ll need to hold several hardware keys simultaneously, such as the Home, Power, Volume and Camera keys. If you can’t get into Recovery mode using any of the hardware key combinations, then you can Google how to enter into recovery mode for your specific device.

Step 2

Once you have entered into recovery, scroll down to Wipe data/Factory reset using your Volume down key and select it using the Power key.

Step 3

Next, Scroll down to Yes – delete all user data and press the Power key on your device.

Step 4

The reset process might take a while and once the reset is complete, select Reboot system now using the your Power key. Your phone should now reboot and you won’t need to enter your password or pattern in order to unlock it.

2. Unlock Android Phone from Computer Without Resetting

Android ADB

This is another method that you can use in order to unlock your Android device if you don’t remember your security lock. This method should work on most Android devices and you don’t need to have an internet connection nor a Google account in order to use this. Basically, this uses Android ADB commands to remove the security lock on your Android device. You will need a PC in order to install the Android SDK and enter the commands in Command Prompt. Also, you’ll need USB Debugging enabled on your device. If you don’t have this enabled on your device, then this method won’t work.

Step 1

Download and install Android SDK on your PC. You will also need to install the specific drivers for your Android device if you don’t already have them installed on your PC.

Step 2

After installing the Android SDK and the relevant drivers, connect your Android phone to your PC using a micro USB cable.

Step 3

Next, open Command Prompt on your PC and enter the following commands. Make sure that you press the Enter key after entering each command line.

cd\

cd android-sdk\platform-tools\

adb devices

After typing the last command, you should get some random numbers and alphabets. This means that your device is successfully connected. Next, enter the follow commands:

adb shell

cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases

sqlite3 settings.db

update system set value=0 where name=’lock_pattern_autolock';

update secure set value=0 where name=’lock_pattern_autolock';

update system set value=0 where name=’lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently';

update secure set value=0 where name=’lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently';

.quit

Step 4

Reboot your device and you’ll be presented with a new lock screen.  Don’t worry after seeing the lockscreen as your device should be fully unlocked and you can enter any pattern that you want and that will become your new lockscreen pattern.
