Hard Reset
This is another method that you can use in order to unlock your Android device. However, this should only be used as a last resort as using this method will erase all the data on your phone. You should only use this method if none of the other methods are working on your device, specially if you haven’t backed up the data on your Android device. Hard reset basically formats your phone to the initial condition that it was in when you first used it. It will remove all your data, settings and information.Step 1
Firstly, switch off your device and enter into recovery mode. Different Android devices have different methods to boot into recovery, but all of them use hardware keys. For most Android devices, you’ll need to hold several hardware keys simultaneously, such as the Home, Power, Volume and Camera keys. If you can’t get into Recovery mode using any of the hardware key combinations, then you can Google how to enter into recovery mode for your specific device.Step 2
Once you have entered into recovery, scroll down to Wipe data/Factory reset using your Volume down key and select it using the Power key.
Step 3
Next, Scroll down to Yes – delete all user data and press the Power key on your device.Step 4
The reset process might take a while and once the reset is complete, select Reboot system now using the your Power key. Your phone should now reboot and you won’t need to enter your password or pattern in order to unlock it.
