How to Unlock a Samsung Galaxy Phone without a Password

Android phones have long been known to require higher levels of security than Apple phones. However, over the years, Google and Samsung have made significant efforts to improve the security of their smartphones. This includes creating several security features and safeguards for users.

Following these efforts to improve phone security, it has become more difficult to unlock a phone if you forget your password or PIN pattern. However, in this article, we will demonstrate how to easily unlock a Samsung Galaxy phone even if you can’t remember your password or PIN pattern.

Unlocking a Samsung Galaxy Phone via the Find My Mobile Feature

Find My Mobile, Find My Device, and Find My Phone are all security features that perform the same function, helping people find their lost phones in simple and professional ways.

If you’ve forgotten the password to your Samsung Galaxy phone but have previously enabled Find My Mobile, it can be a useful tool to unlock your phone. Here are the steps on how to unlock your Samsung Galaxy phone using the Find My Mobile service:

Before you start, the phone must be connected to a Wi-Fi network to unlock it remotely from a computer. The other thing is that you must set up the Remote Unlock feature on your Samsung Galaxy.

• First, go to the Find My Mobile website and sign in with your Samsung account
• If you have not logged in to a Samsung account before, you will need to log in again
• Then, click on the Unlock option from the options bar on the right side of the page
• You will be prompted to enter your Samsung account password again
• From the next window, click on Next
• A pop-up window will appear stating that your phone has been unlocked
• Now you can unlock the phone and reset a new password or a different PIN pattern

Unlocking a Samsung Galaxy Phone with the Google Find My Device Feature

You can also try unlocking a Samsung Galaxy phone using the “Find My Device” feature from Google. Similarly, this feature also requires enabling it on the phone in advance through the settings. To enable this feature, go to Settings > Passwords & security and then enable the “Find My Device” feature. If you cannot find it in this path, you can search for it in the settings until you can find it and enable it.

• Now, from a computer, go to the Find My Device website and sign in with your Google account
• The Google account should be the same as the account used on the phone that you want to unlock remotely
• Then, from the left side of the window, click on “Secure Device” and write a recovery message if you want, then click on Secure Device
• Google will turn off your phone, then follow the instructions on the screen to remove the lock and set a new lock pattern
• It is worth noting that this feature also requires a Wi-Fi connection.

Factory Reset

Unfortunately, unlocking a Samsung Galaxy phone is not easy, especially if you have not enabled services like Find My Mobile in advance. In this case, and if you have exhausted all your attempts, you have no choice but to (the nuclear option) factory reset your smartphone. Unfortunately, you will lose everything on the internal memory of the phone and you will have to start over from scratch. To factory reset your Samsung Galaxy, follow these steps:

• First, click on all three buttons: the power button, the Pixby button, and the volume up button
• The phone will automatically restart itself, press and hold the power button until you see the Android logo
• You will be taken to the Android recovery menu.
• Unfortunately, you will not be able to use the screen, so you must rely on the volume up and down buttons and scroll through the options until you reach the Wipe Data / Factory Reset option once you reach it, click on the power button to confirm
• Wait a few moments for the factory reset to be performed on the phone
• Now you can start using your phone normally

As you can see, many options can help you unlock your Samsung Galaxy phone if you forget your password. However, remember that these steps may require some effort. Therefore, we always recommend choosing a password or a pattern that is easy to remember.
