Everyone is concerned with maintaining the secrecy of their personal information, especially when it comes to their mobile devices. This is why modern gadgets support various screen lock options, including patterns, PINs, digits, face recognition, and more.

Forgetting the password to unlock the screen is one of the most common issues every smartphone user can face. Sometimes you failed to remember your passcode, or perhaps your children were playing with your phone and changed it without your knowledge.

Or your phone fell from a great height, and after that, your fingerprint scanner stopped working, or your front camera became blurry or broken due to the damage, making it unable to scan your face. Because of the damage to your screen, your phone is unable to read your password inputs.

What can you do if you own an Android phone and cannot unlock it?

This article will explain how to unlock your Samsung phone using different methods.

Let’s dive in.
