What to do when you have forgotten the code of your Android smartphone?
Android smartphones are protected by an authentication system that protects their information if the device falls into the wrong hands. The problem is that you can forget this code, making it impossible to access the mobile. Here is what we advise you to do if you find yourself in this situation.

As part of its program to teach you how to debug and repair your Android smartphone, Expertsconnecting offers you a new tutorial to help you with a recurring problem with Android smartphones: what to do when you have forgotten the code for your smartphone ? There are several solutions to try, which we detail below. But remember first that it is essential to protect your smartphone with a code: PIN, password or scheme of your choice. If you lose or have your mobile stolen, this security will prevent access to your personal data, photos, contacts and various accounts.

It should also be noted that we are talking here about the code of the phone itself, and not that of the SIM card. In the latter case, all you have to do is contact your operator if you cannot find the PIN.

Google's "Find My Phone" feature

This option is your best ally if your smartphone has been lost or stolen. But "Find My Phone" is also useful if you still have it in your possession but no unlock code. Via the Google interface, you have the possibility to change your password. It is necessary for this that you have access to the Google account to which the Android mobile is linked. Here's the procedure to follow :

Go from another device to Google Find My Phone.

Enter your Google credentials.

Choose the smartphone concerned.

In "Lock your phone", go to space "Set password to lock screen" and enter a new code

System Restore

Turn off your smartphone

Press and hold the Bixby and volume up buttons.

Keeping the two previous keys pressed, also press the power button.

When the phone turns on, let go of the power button (but keep the Bixby and volume up buttons pressed).

You can let go as soon as you see the blue screen appear.

Select "Wipe date/factory reset". To navigate the menu, use the volume up button to go up and the volume down button to go down. To validate a command, press the power button, which acts as a "Ok"Or"Enter".
