Method 2: Unlock Pattern Lock without Factory Reset via Samsung Find My Mobile

For all Samsung users, the Samsung Find My Mobile will be your savior if ever your device gets lost or locked. This feature lets users remotely control their Samsung devices if it is connected to a Samsung account.

Now, if you can’t remember your pattern lock, you may use the Unlock option. This can instantly remove your password without affecting your data. To use this option your device must be:

• Connected to a WIFI Network/Mobile Data.
• Linked to your Samsung Account (you should know the account credentials).
• The Remote Control and Remote Unlock setting should be enabled beforehand.

If you think your device has all those requirements, then you can start removing your pattern lock.

Step 1

Access the Find My Mobile site and log in with your Samsung account.

Step 2

Find the Unlock option and click it. After that, your device should be unlocked.

Method 3: Use Google Find My Device to Unlock Android Pattern Lock without Factory Reset

For non-Samsung users, Google Find My Device is a good alternative. Just like Samsung Find My Mobile, this feature is created to help users remotely manage their devices. Although it doesn’t have a direct Unlock feature, it can remove your pattern lock by resetting your device. And yes your files will be deleted as well.

To use this feature, your phone should be connected to a WIFI network or Mobile data, and it should be linked to your Google account. It is automatically enabled on the phone once you log in to your account.

Step 1

Open the Google Find My Device site and log in with your Google account.

Step 2

Next, select Erase Device and enter your account credentials again.

Step 3

After that, follow the next instructions prompted and your phone should be unlocked.

Method 4: Use “Forgot Password” to Unlock Pattern Lock without Factory Reset

You might have noticed the “Forgot Password” button below your lock screen. That small button can help you unlock the Android phone pattern lock without Factory Reset. This feature lets you bypass your lock screen by providing the right credentials for the Google account linked to your device.

Unfortunately, this option is only available to devices with Android version 4.4 and lower. If you’re using an updated device this may not work for you.

Step 1

Enter the wrong pattern 5 times. After that, you should see the “Forgot Password” button below your lock screen.

Step 2

Click the button and choose Enter Google Account Details.

Step 3

On the next screen, provide your account credentials then click Next.

Step 4

You will then be asked to reset your pattern. Set up a new password and you should access your device again.
