How to unlock an Android phone when forgetting a password / pattern
When you have an Android phone, of course maintaining security so that no one glances at the contents of our smartphone is a must.
On Android, there are settings that allow you to provide security in the form of PIN, Password, Pattern, Slide, and also Face Unlock passwords.
Even now some Android flagship that have provided Fingerprint Sensor feature with more security, so only you can unlock your Android.
But for those of you who are still using the old security system, there must be many who prefer patterns or enter passwords as passwords.
Pattern patterns and passwords are easier to remember and not complicated. So what if you change your password so often that you forget the pattern and the last password you used?
Especially for those of you who like to enter complicated patterns to protect important data, because if you use a simple pattern or password it will be easy to guess.
Determine that by resetting it you will be able to access your Android again. But the risk is that all the data you have will also be deleted.
Here will be shared several ways to re-open the Android cellphone when you suddenly forget, without the need to reset it.
