These methods come in handy when you don’t remember the password to your phone. In this article, we show you how to unlock a Samsung phone without the password.

Conclusion

There are a lot of third-party apps that claim they can get around the lock screen of any password-protected device, but given the kind of security smartphones are aided with these days, it is very unlikely that these apps will work. It is almost impossible to unlock a Samsung smartphone without a password unless the device has verified your identity.
