How to Hard Reset your Samsung Phone if Forgot Password (Best Method)
4If you've forgotten the password for your Samsung phone and need to perform a hard reset to regain access, you can use the recovery mode method or Samsung’s Find My Mobile service.
A hard reset will erase all data on the device, including the lock screen password, so try other unlock methods (e.g., Google account recovery, Find My Mobile) first. Below are the steps for both methods, tailored for Samsung phones running One UI (based on Android 10 or later). Exact steps may vary slightly by model or software version.
Method 1: Hard Reset via Recovery Mode
Power Off the Phone:
Press and hold the Power button (or Power + Volume Down on some models) for 20-30 seconds to turn off the device. If you can’t unlock the screen, le
t the battery drain or hold the buttons until it restarts and powers off.
For newer models (e.g., Galaxy S23), you may need to press Power + Volume Down until the power-off menu appears, then select Power off.
Enter Recovery Mode:
With the phone off, press and hold the Power button and Volume Up button together (on older models with a Bixby or Home button, include the Bixby or Home button).
Release the buttons when the Samsung logo or recovery mode screen appears (showing options like "Reboot system now").
Navigate Recovery Mode:
Use the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons to navigate the menu and the Power button to select.
Highlight Wipe data/factory reset and press the Power button to select it.
Confirm Reset:
Select Yes or Delete all user data to confirm the reset.
The phone will erase all data, including the lock screen password, and return to the recovery menu.
Reboot the Phone:
Select Reboot system now using the Power button.
The phone will restart, and you can set it up as a new device.
