Factory Reset
Factory reset could be one of the solutions to bypassing Android lock screen. This would work in almost every situation and with every Android phone. If it is more important to bypass the lock screen and get into the device than saving the data stored in the device, then this method can be used to get into a locked device. This involves few simple steps but based on the device, the process may differ.
For most of the devices, one can start by switching off the device. Press and hold the power button and the volume buttons together when the screen goes black.
The Android bootloader menu will pop up. Select the “Recovery mode” option by pressing the power button. Use volume button to switch between various options.
Wipe the data or choose factory reset after moving into the recovery mode and reboot the device once the process is complete and there will be no lock anymore on the device.
Pros
• Factory reset can be done on any Android device. So, irrespective of the device type and built, factory reset is possible on all the devices with just few differences in the process.
• It is a very simple process of bypassing the lock screen.
Cons
• Factory reset deletes all the data stored in the device at one go.
