After completing all the steps, the smartphone settings will be reset. It will need to be configured again.
Unlocking the Tablet Screen Using Google – Method #3
If your gadget has access to the Internet, it can be accessed through the Google system if the screen is locked.
IMPORTANT: This method can be used by owners of smartphones whose operating system versions are not newer than Android 5.0 (models before 2014).
- Enter the key, code or password incorrectly on the device screen 5 times until a message appears indicating that the device is temporarily blocked. The message “Forgot your password” or something similar should appear there.
- Click on the indicated inscription. A window will open in which you will be asked to enter registration data (password and login) for the Google account to which the device is linked.
- If you have forgotten the password for your Google account, try to recover it using one of the available methods (except “using your phone”) via a computer or tablet.
- When you enter your Google account login information on the screen of a locked smartphone, you will be asked to come up with a new combination to log into the device, and the phone will be unlocked.
Google account
If the owner has forgotten the graphic password, then there is a way out. The first thing that comes to mind is to roll back the device to factory settings, but this will delete all data, so this option should be used as a last resort. It is much easier to use a Google account if the device is controlled by the Android OS.
A pattern key is a locking method in which the user must enter a specific character consisting of a certain number of circles connected to each other. There are nine of them in total, but the combination is set in such a way that only a few of them are connected by one continuous line without passing through the same circle again. It is believed that such a symbol cannot be hacked, so it is more reliable than a regular password. There are problems with it - usually the user forgets it, or children enter the key, and then they don’t know what exactly they set. In any situation, unlocking the tablet, regardless of the type of key, will be done the same way.
- To reset (restore) a graphic, you must enter it incorrectly several times.
- A message will appear stating that the device is blocked, and the device itself will issue an offer to restore access.
- To recover, you need to click on “forgot your password” in the dialog box.
- The system will redirect the user to the recovery page, where you must specify a mailbox, phone number or login, and also select where to send the recovery link.
- It is important to have access to a phone number or email to successfully complete the procedure.
Calling the Tablet from Another Device to Unlock – Method #4
Every smartphone user knows that in order to receive a call, your phone does not need to be unlocked. This trick can be used to gain access to the gadget’s system if you suddenly forget your pattern key or PIN code.
- Call your mobile from another number.
- Answer an incoming call on your device.
- After starting a conversation, the phone is unlocked. Open the top notification shade.
- Go to Settings.
- Disable the password.
IMPORTANT: This method is not suitable for gaining access to new generation phones. You can only try to use it if you have a very old Android.
Options for protecting personal data on tablets
Before moving on to how to unlock your tablet if you forgot your pattern key, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with all the popular options for protecting personal data on mobile devices.
It may depend on them which methods of unlocking you can choose. This will also help to select appropriate methods of protecting personal data for each user.
List of all types of device blocking:
- Button press. The simplest option, which does not require any key or password entry. All you need to do to unlock it is press a physical button. In modern tablets, this method is implemented slightly differently, since almost all new devices are supplied without keys on the front side. Instead, unlocking occurs through a single press on the side power button of the device.
- Graphic password. The most popular view on mobile devices running the Android operating system. It is a panel that consists of several points. By running his fingers over these points, the user “draws” a certain graphic sign, which is the key. The advantage of this method is that it is remembered at the level of muscle memory. The disadvantage is the problem when muscle memory “forgot” the key, and there are no associations with it as in the case of a digital password.
- Combination of numbers. An option that has gained popularity thanks to gadgets from Apple. They only have this method of direct protection of personal information. Unlocking in this case consists of entering the correct combination of numbers. In some devices, such a password may consist not only of numbers, but also of Latin letters and symbols.
- Fingerprint. The most modern type of direct protection of personal data. The device scans the owner's (or multiple users') fingerprint, granting access only when the required finger is scanned. Such a password could be built into a physical button, in a separate hole, or even on the screen.
Each of the above options, not counting the first, includes hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of possible combinations of numbers or keys.
If you enter the wrong password, it is impossible to guess the correct one at random. Well, if we talk about the last method with a fingerprint, then nothing at all will work here except the owner’s fingerprint itself.
Important! Regardless of the model and manufacturer of the tablet computer, if you make several incorrect attempts to enter a key or code, the device will be automatically blocked for some time. If you enter the wrong combinations several times again, the gadget will be blocked for a longer period, and so on in increasing order.
Removing Tablet Graphic Password Using a PC – Method #5
This option will help protect data on your smartphone if you have forgotten your digital password or pattern key. There is a file in the phone's memory that is responsible for the operation of the pattern key. If you delete it, the system will not ask for a key to enter.
HELP: The method will work if the USB Debugging mode is active on the gadget. It can be enabled through the “Developer Menu”.
- Connect your device using a USB cable to your computer or laptop.
- Download and install the adb run program.
- Run the utility and enter the request “adbBLOCK GEST”.
- Confirm deleting the file.
Types of password protection in tablets
To protect data from prying eyes, a special protection was developed - device blocking.
Regardless of the device model and operating system, two types of encoding are used:
- Graphic key – password in the form of an individual combination of connections of 9 circles;
"Example of a graphic key"
- A text code is a set of numbers or letters that allows access to tablet data.
Unlocking a Tablet Using an Internet Connection – Method #6
This method of unlocking a smartphone screen also involves using a Google account. The main thing is not only to enter the correct information to log into your account, but also to ensure access to the Internet.
- Reboot your device.
- After switching on, a “curtain” will appear at the top of the display. Unfold it.
- Tap "Mobile Data" or the "Wi-Fi" button.
If you can’t pull out the curtain, you can use the system code to ensure a connection via Wi-Fi:
- Tap the "Emergency Call" button (located on the lock screen).
- Enter the command: *#*#7378423#*#*.
- Go to the Service Tests/ Service Provider tab.
- Next - “WLAN”.
- Connect to Wi-Fi.
HELP: If it is not possible to provide access to Wi-Fi, you can insert a SIM card with a working Internet connection into the device and log into your Google account.
Through a phone call
Note! This option has one serious limitation - it only works on Android version 2.2 or lower. And such gadgets are quite rare today.
How to unlock a tablet using a call if you forgot the pattern key?
- Make a call to the locked device from another phone.
- After receiving a call on Android 2.2, you can enter the “Settings” application -> “Protection” -> “Screen lock” and change the pattern.
Another option is to call from the locked tablet itself. After dialing the number and pressing the call button, the desktop literally opens for a moment. If you manage to click on the application icon (any) at this time, you will be able to enter “Settings” and reset the key.
Unlocking Your Tablet Through Smart Lock Options – Method #7
This option for resetting a locked screen password is only possible on phone models no older than 2015 (Android 5.0 and older). It was from this time that the Smart Lock function became available on electronic devices.
HELP: To use this method, you must have set up the Smart Lock feature in advance. You can find the option in the gadget settings in the section responsible for the lock screen and security.
The Smart Lock feature allows you to set your phone lock settings depending on three parameters:
- "Trusted devices";
- "Safe Places";
- “Physical contact” / “Face recognition”.
Reliable devices | Safe places | "Physical Contact" or "Face Recognition" |
If the phone is connected via Bluetooth to a device (watch, car communication system, another smartphone, tablet) that is added to the list of trusted ones, it will be unlocked. | The phone is not blocked or must be unlocked in places that are included in the safe list. GPS must be turned on. | Different devices provide different variations of this option. FC – the device remains unlocked as long as it is in contact with the owner (in motion). RL – the smartphone is blocked if it recognizes your face as its owner (you need to look at the front camera). |
What passwords are used on tablets on the Android system?
There are two types of such locks:
The password is specified in text, which consists of a random set of numbers (sometimes letters). The correct combination unlocks the tablet. This method is quite popular among users, as it does not present any particular difficulties; Graphic drawing. Many people prefer to block their personal tablet this way.
This method may seem unreliable to some - an outsider can see exactly how the owner placed the key and take advantage of it. However, this method is also often used.
Graphic key
When using a graphic key, the user is asked to come up with a unique geometric pattern. Further unlocking of the device is possible only if the created pattern is exactly repeated. Before installing a pattern, you must select the desired field size: 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 or 6x6 dots.
1. Drag your finger along the points, creating a broken line.
2. Click Continue and repeat the pattern you just created again.
3. Click "Confirm".
After the new key is successfully created, the system will prompt you to select options for displaying notifications on the locked device. This item allows you to prevent notifications from being displayed on the locked screen: messages, letters and alerts, i.e. hide the display of personal information.
After installing the graphic key, the settings menu will be updated with a new list:
- “Show key” - displays the line that the user draws at the moment of unlocking;
- “Show incorrect input” - if you enter an incorrect pattern, the system will warn you about an error;
- “Show points”—displays or hides anchor points for entering a password.
From a security point of view, the second option is more preferable, since an outsider will not be able to determine how many reference points are used in the graphic password.
PIN code
Depending on the user's preferences, the Android operating system has the option of setting a password in the form of a digital PIN code. The main requirement is that the PIN code must consist of at least 4 digits.
To set a PIN code you must:
1. Select the “PIN code” item in the blocking settings menu.
2. Enter the desired digital combination.
3. Repeat the entered password and press the “Done” button.
The accompanying PIN code settings menu is slightly different from that discussed above for a graphic password:
- “Quick unlock” - provides instant unlocking of the device without the need for confirmation (tapping on the checkbox after entering the PIN code);
- “Shuffle buttons” - enabling this function allows you to chaotically change the location of the keys in the number pad each time you unlock. Thus, it will become impossible to observe the position of your hand during entry and predict the option of entering the PIN code.
Password
Another option for protecting personal data is to set a password. In this protection method, the user can use any alphanumeric combinations or keywords. In essence, using such a password is a more complicated and more secure version of the PIN code.
When using an alphanumeric password, be especially careful when setting it: the password is case sensitive (reacts to uppercase and lowercase letters).
When choosing an option to unlock your smartphone, you can be guided by your own preferences. Each method provides reliable protection for your data, and the more complex and confusing the password you come up with, the more secure your photos, contacts, letters and other confidential information will be.
Use Batteries to Unlock Your Tablet - Method #8
You can unlock your gadget's screen if you have forgotten your PIN code through the power management system.
ATTENTION: This method does not work on modern devices. You can try your luck with this method only on older Androids.
- Wait until the phone's charge drops to 10-15%.
- When the low battery message appears, click on the link that takes you to the battery menu (power management settings).
- From there, go to the device security section.
- Disable the password.
Change Tablet Password Using ADB Run Program – Method #9
Unlocking using the special ADB Run utility will only work if USB debugging was previously enabled on your device.
HELP: USB debugging is used to set up applications and change settings on an Android phone using a special program on a PC. It can be enabled using the hidden “Developer Menu”. For example, for phones with Android below version 7.1, this can be done using the following chain of commands: “Menu” - “Settings” - “About smartphone” - “Build number”. You need to tap on the last item 7-10 times. Next: “Settings” – “For Developers” and check the box next to “USB Debugging”.
- Download the ADB program and install it.
- Connect your smartphone to your PC via USB.
- Open the utility.
- Click on the number “6” on your keyboard – “Unlock Gesture Key”. The smartphone should reboot.
- Enter the new code on your phone screen.
ATTENTION: The method will not work with all devices.
Unlocking Bootloader, how to get root rights

- Activate Fastboot mode (combination of power key + volume down);
- Go to the Android SDK directory → right-click platform tools → “Open it commands” → enter the unlock code → wait until the process completes.
Reflashing the Tablet to Unlock the Password – Method #10
This method is universal. It will work on any smartphone model. The bottom line is that the device's operating system must be completely uninstalled and reinstalled. Of course, all files and data from the device (including the specified password) will be deleted along with the OS.
Preparatory steps:
- Charge the device's battery or make sure it has at least 50% charge;
- Find out the current OS version for your smartphone (“Menu” – “Settings” – “About phone”).
Option 1. Through a computer
There are many programs with which you can flash an Android phone: Fastboot, Odin, KDZ Updater, Flash Tool, etc.
- Download one of the specified programs to your PC (it is better to download to drive C so that the path to it is C:\Android). We will look at the process using Fastboot as an example.

How to reset a pattern or PIN code
There are several methods to remove a password from your tablet. Let's start with simple ones that do not affect the system, but if they do not help you remove the lock, you will have to use heavier ones, up to a complete reset, that is, resetting the settings to factory settings.
The easiest way
The easiest way to unlock your device without losing data is to use your Google account. If you remember the data from your Google account, use this to restore access to the device.
To do this, simply enter the wrong PIN code five times in a row. After the fifth, a field with a signature like “Forgot your password?” will appear. You will need to enter your Google account information and go through the access restoration procedure. The method is very simple and does not involve the loss of device files, so it is very advisable that you know your account registration data. If you don’t remember them, you will have to use other methods.
For older versions of Android
If you have an outdated version of the operating system, you can take advantage of deficiencies in security mechanisms. In this case, you can unlock the tablet if you forgot the pattern key by calling it, like calling a phone if you have a SIM card. Pick up the phone, after which you will be able to go into settings and change the security code.
The method is only suitable for older versions of software. Of course, this method does not work on new devices, but if your device is many years old, or you just like old stable firmware versions, this simple method will save a lot of time. Otherwise you will have to use more complex instructions.
Using Android Debug Bridge
A program for debugging and repairing a device in different cases, very suitable for our situation. In general, to use it, you must have debugging mode enabled on your device, have USB, and be able to connect to a Windows computer or laptop. Naturally, you need to download and install ADB. Debugging mode is enabled through the settings menu, which, of course, is not available when locked, but on many devices, when connected via USB, you can activate the mode directly.
After the USB connection, go to the Windows command line - “Start” - “Run” - type “cmd” and press Enter. In the line that appears, write the path to the folder with ADB, and then enter the commands sequentially. Start with any one and if it doesn’t work, move on to the next one. After each command put Enter, one of them should help. List of options:
- To remove a graphic key: adb shellrm /data/system/gesture.key
- For a regular password: adb shellrm /data/system/password.key
Reset settings via Recovery
If the previous methods were not effective, then to disable the graphic key on the tablet (it also works for a regular text key), you will need to use more stringent methods: a hard reset through recovery or by changing the firmware. They are effective, but unfortunately they will completely delete all your files.
With changing the firmware, I think everything is simple: go to the manufacturer’s website and download the stable version. I can't help you much here.
How to unlock a tablet through recovery? Recovery is a mode that is entered differently from different devices. Ideally, you should have a box for the device with instructions. There you can find exactly how your gadget enters recovery mode. If there are no instructions, try different combinations of standard keys:
- Power button + volume up;
- Power button + volume down;
- Home + Power On + Volume Down or Up
In the mode, switch between items using the volume keys, turn on the item using the power button. You need to find and activate the Wipe data item, then Yes (if confirmation is required). Some devices require further confirmation - choose Factory reset or something similar.
All data will be erased, but if other methods did not help, you will have to use this one as the last hope to restore the functionality of the gadget.
