How to Unlock Samsung Phone if Forgot Password (Best Method)
If you’ve forgotten the password, PIN, or pattern for your Samsung phone, you can try several methods to unlock it. The steps below are tailored for Samsung devices running Android as of 2025.
The best approach depends on whether you have access to your Samsung or Google account and whether you’re okay with potentially losing data.
Method 1: Use Samsung Find My Mobile
This method works if you have a Samsung account, Find My Mobile enabled, and your phone is connected to the internet.
Access Find My Mobile:
On another device (e.g., a computer or phone), go to findmymobile samsung com.
Sign in with the Samsung account linked to your locked phone.
Select Your Device:
Choose your locked Samsung phone from the list of devices.
Unlock the Device:
Click Unlock in the menu.
Follow the prompts to remotely remove the lock screen (password, PIN, or pattern).
Set a New Lock:
Once unlocked, go to Settings - Lock Screen - Screen Lock Type on your phone to set a new password, PIN, pattern, or biometrics (fingerprint/face).
Note: Your phone must be online (Wi-Fi or mobile data) and have Find My Mobile enabled beforehand (check Settings - Biometrics and Security - Find My Mobile).
