Introduction

If you forgot you password, pattern drill, there are three ways to bypass the security:

• You can log-in in your phone by Google account registered on this phone. You must be connected to a WiFi network that you have used before.

• By entering Backup PIN, if you had created one before.

Finally, you can do factory / hard reset. By doing this you will erase all personal information from the phone and you will back it to its original factory state.

Video Instructions

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Wouldn’t it be also possible, by just flashing with Odin TWRP to create a mSD* backup too ? Also, there are more methods to bypass this, is to spam * on the emergency call to crash the system, or am I wrong and only works with KitKat? I’m unsure about this if it was a JellyBeans thing or KitKat.
