Forgot the password or pattern on any android phone? Here is the fix

My break from posting smartphone-related tweaks and hacks is over. Hence my choice to give you this easy fix for password and pattern-related problems on your Android devices. Funny enough, the number of persons using the tecno, infinix, itel, and Gionee Android phones seems to be going higher than the ones using other brands of high-end Android phones. This is proven by the number of persons that have been on my box daily asking for one tip or the other, all using MTK-powered Android devices.

Today I want to personally give a guide to lift yourself from all those forgotten passwords, lost email details, and/or pattern issues on all Android phone brands irrespective of whether tecno, Gionee, Samsung, sony, ITEL, infinix, LG, or whatsoever brand name.

Video Guide: Unlocking Forgotten Patterns and Passwords on Android

If you have no time for lengthy texts or would prefer a quick video guide instead; here’s a quick video tutorial on How to Unlock Any Android Forgotten Pattern, Pin, or Password in a few minutes.

Recover your Forgotten password or pattern by the use of Gmail or your Google account

getting into your android after forgetting passwords and patterns

This method works for all Android phone brands and does not require data or an internet connection to work.

While a few Android users prefer locking their phone with a code, the majority of us use security patterns which could be difficult playing around when forgotten, this is when your Gmail or Google account comes into play.

After being greeted with this awful message “You have incorrectly drawn your unlock pattern 5 times ” or “too many wrong pattern attempts” or worst still you aren’t getting any prompt but know that you have forgotten your pattern and even in most rare cases a pattern security access was set up by your younger ones without your consent.

Here is how to fix them up quickly!

  • tap the “Forgot Pattern” to bring up Google account options.
  • enter your Gmail or Google account details in the provided boxes and hit the “Sign in” button to unlock your phone or tab.
  • Set up a new security lock or pattern that you can easily remember.

Recovering your Forgotten Password or Pattern on Tecno and Gionee Android Phones

The Google account recovery option works for all Android phones and devices at all irrespective of the brand, it is the same for this hard reset option, just that tecno, gionee, infinix, and other Chinese Android phones use separate key combinations to get into the recovery menu. Here is what to do if you ever get stocked on the prompt screen on forgetting both your pattern and google accounts as a tecno  android user

==> Switch your phone  off

==> Press and hold the volume up + the power button almost simultaneously for about 5 seconds (while still holding the two) until it boots to recovery mode (recovery menu)

Bonus tip: you can also release the power button while keep pressing the volume up button until that very reset menu appears.

==> Select wipe data using the volume up and down buttons

==> Select yes by pressing the menu button

==> Press “reboot now” to get your Android device back to its factory default

Bonus Tip : Use the steps outlined in the beginning of this tutorial to back up your games, apps, settings and sundry so as to get them back easily by simply logging into your google or gmail account after a full format, hard reset or factory default restore depending on what you address it as.

      Try to hold down the POWER button for more than 15 seconds to allow the device to reboot.

      Let me know if this helps or not.

  24. Hey what’s up Miracle!! I have a Life’s Good phone, a LG Grace. My friend RR got put in jail earlier tonight. RR has the same phone as I do. He showed me what his pattern was on his lock screen, but I forgot what it is. I have not attempted any way to recover or restore said phone. Both his phone as well as mine is hooked up on my WiFi. I might need to have access to his contacts to get him out of lock up, so, I need to get his Grace unlocked without losing the contents. please help!

  25. I tried but when i press volume up + power button it says ‘no command’ also volume down + power button it gives me a factory menu and not a recovery menu. Tried a reboot option but still gives me a password option. I dont know what to do

    • Use the factory menu. That should work for it depending on your device

  26. Tried the advice you offered but I don’t get the option to enter my gmail account.

    • In that case, tools like dr.fone lock screen remover can come come in handy. You can use their money back guarantee option if it fails to remove the lock successfully. We plan updating the post with free tools that really works, but would do that once there’s time in our hands.

  27. I have repeated the wrong pattern 30 times and keep getting the same response to try again in 30 seconds. The option to enter my gmail account does not appear. I really can’t afford to lose my data. What other options can I try

    Hi, i have sony tipo dual phone. how to unlock my phone after too many pattern attempts and i forgot my google account. I’ve tried everything but nothing works. Can you please help me.

    • Use the power button plus volume down combination when cold-booting the device. It works flawlessly on Sony devices

    • That means your device was set to Factory Reset Protection (FRP) by default when you set up the Phone. FPR is a feature that was recently introduced by Android to protect the latest Android phones from factory reset by unauthorized people such us thieves. In order to complete the Factory Reset , FPR feature asks you to draw your petterns or sign in using your google email and password which you used previously to set up the phone. If you have forgotten your google password, your phone becomes useless.However, there is a very complicated method to bypass google account and remove FPR. If you still need help, I can help

  81. i tried but the logo appear and the message ,,,, no command

    • You’re probably hitting the wrong volume button combination, try the other and watch it respond just as it should

      • i tried but only the logo appears with the words NO COMMAND

        • Then try it out this way – when pressing the power button don’t press along with the volume Up. Press power button first and then volume Up. An icon will appear on ya screen. Now you press volume Up again and u will see the various options. You can then choose clear data/ reset factory then press power button to validate. Each option u take make sure u validate with the power button. It should work this way

    Hi Obasi,

    Although I don’t have any Android phone but one of my friend begat one and I think with this tutorial I can really help him if there is any difficulty in resetting his password.

  92. A fantastic post, I actually lost my first Android HTC phone because of this. I wish I could still remember where it, I would have tried these steps.

    These days, I use PIN instead of pattern. lol, I don’t forget my PINs, but Pattern locks can be scary at times.

    This will help alot of people, nice post buddy! :)

    • Hi bro Nosa,

      I am really sorry for your missing phone and like you wishes the phone was still with you. As for choice of security I usually go with pattern followed by finger thumb print lock.

      Yeah sure we do have a lot of users find this very helpful, do have a wonderful day bro

    • guys can you please help me to remove my huawei y520 screen password i forgot it and its been two weeks trying to unlock it,i even tried all option is not working still lock…im a student i need to use my phone before MONDAY…im begging you

  93. Hi Obasi,

    Informative post indeed :)

    Or perhaps I should call it a real tutorial for those who use such kind of phones. You have indeed given a fix for password and pattern related problems on any kind of android devices. Honestly speaking, I rarely use my own phone all that much but I know most of my friends and family use it, including my kids – so I’d be forwarding this piece of information to them. I know it’s going to help a lot of people :)

    Thanks for sharing. Have a nice weekend :)

    • Thanks Harleena,

      The android smartphone user-base is currently in it’s all time high and as such could give room for mistakes such as this one shared in this tutorial.

      Many new users are easily fascinated with the hand drawn pattern security feature and so could forget their chosen pattern easily.
      This is why we made this tutorial so simple so as to be able to carry everybody along, Your offering to share this is something I do really appreciate.
      I also do wish you a splendid Sunday Morning.

    • Hi, I followed the instructions for a Techo H6 but strangely after rebooting the phone, the password still comes on, please help

      • What option did you choose from the maintenance screen Malambo?
