Android is one of the most popular SmartPhone Operating System. As of Now there are over a billion android users. Every android user must be familiar with Pattern/PIN lock/Face Recognition,a security feature which ensures authorized access to their devices. But sometimes the users forget the pattern or they try the wrong pattern more than the permitted number of tries allowed,getting locked out. In this guide I have collected almost all possible methods to break/bypass a pattern/PIN/Face protected android device.
Procedure:
1. Download this zip Pattern Password Disable on to your sdcard (using your PC, as you cant get into your phone)
2. Insert the sdcard into your phone
3. Reboot into recovery mode
4. Flash the zip
5. Reboot
6. Done!
Note : After Restarting if it still asks any pattern/PIN,just try some random pattern/PIN
Method 1 (For All Devices With Custom Recovery Installed )
Procedure (Using Aroma File Manager)
1.Download and Copy Aroma File manager.zip to your memory card.
2. Open your recovery (press volume Down + Power button or it can be different according to the phones. Generally the phones who have press able button on the middle they have to press all three buttons. Google for you pattern)
3. There will be an option in recovery called “mount”. Go in that option and then mount all the cache and everything what is there.
4. Then select “update” and select “apply update from SD/external” and select aroma file manger.zip file that you downloaded.
5. After Flashing or updating, the aroma file manger will open. Use volume keys for up/down and power button 2 select like you use to get into recovery.
6. In aroma File manager , Go to menu , which is located in bottom strip and then select Settings.
7. Go to bottom n select “mount all partition in startup ” then exit from aroma file manger.
8. Now after exit , re-update that aroma file again and it will open again.
9. Go to data >> and then System.
Then find ‘gesture.key’ (for pattern lock) and ’password.key’ (for password lock) then long touch on gesture.key or password.key and sum option will be prompted , choose delete and delete that file and restart.
