How to Hack Android's Lock Screen Patterns, PIN or Password

The main reason to set up some sort of lock screen security on your android phone is to keep someone or friends and family from checking out your messages or private pictures or you don’t want anyone who steal your android to get full access to your e-mails, Facebook, Internet Banking pictures or other sensitive data. But what if you’re the one who cannot access your phone? You could forget your PIN or pattern, Or someone pranks you by setting up a lock screen pattern and just leaves you struggling with it.
           In any case, there’s quite an easy solution to this problem without throwing your phone against a wall.    The only thing you need is to have Android Device Manager enabled on your device (before you locked yourself out of your phone).

Method 1:

Unlock Your Android Using Android Device Manager (ADM) 

Note:   The following method only applies to devices that have Android Device Manager enabled.

Step 1 : 

On a computer or other mobile phone, lunch your browser and visit:  google.com/android/devicemanager 

Step 2:

Sign in using your Google login details that you also used on your locked android.

Step 3:

In the Android Device Manager (ADM) interface, select the device you need to unlock.

Step 4:

Select Lock

Step 5:

In the appearing window, enter a temporary password. You don’t have to enter a recovery message. Now click ‘Lock’ again.

Step 6:

If it was successful, you should see a confirmation message below the box with the buttons Ring, Lock and Erase.

Step 7: 

On your phone you should now see a password field in which you should enter the temporary password. This should unlock your phone.

Final Step:

Now go to your phone’s lock screen settings and disable the temporary password. That's all.

METHOD 2:

Disable your Lock Screen Using Custom Recovery and Pattern Password Disable

Note: For this method to work for you memory card is needed and your phone must have a custom recovery installed and SD card slot.

This method is for more advanced Android users that know what the terms Rooting and custom recovery means. 

Things you need to do

1. Download the Pattern Password Disable ZIP file on your computer and put it on an SD card.
2. Insert the SD card into your phone.
3. Reboot your phone into recovery.
4. Flash the ZIP file on your SD card.

6. Your phone should boot up without a locked screen. Should there be a password or gesture lock screen, don’t panic. Just type in a random password or gesture and your phone should unlock.
