Forgot password. What to do?

Question

I recently forgot my password on my perfectly working Motorola phone. I tried everything but nothing worked.

What should I do?

Answer 1

Follow the below steps if you forgot lock screen password.

1. Enter a wrong lock screen pattern five times (shouldn’t be hard if you don’t remember the correct one)

2. Select ‘Forgot Pattern’

3. Now you should be able to enter a backup PIN or your Google account login.
4. Enter either your backup PIN or your Google login.
5. Your phone should now be unlocked.

You can also follow Device Manager by Android steps

1. On a computer or other mobile phone, visit: google.com/android/devicemanager
2. Sign in using your Google login details that you also used on your locked phone.
3. In the ADM interface, select the device you need to unlock (if it isn’t already selected).
4. Select ‘Lock’
5. In the appearing window, enter a temporary password. You don’t have to enter a recovery message. Now click ‘Lock’ again.
6. If it was successful, you should see a confirmation below the box with the buttons Ring, Lock and Erase.
7. On your phone you should now see a password field in which you should enter the temporary password. This should unlock your phone.
8. Now, before you go on with your life, go to your phone’s lock screen settings and disable the temporary password.
9. That’s it!
