How to unlock galaxy s4 without factory reset
Samsung Galaxy S4: how to remove a forgotten passcode, boot in recovery mode
hey guys Mike here and in this clip I'm
going to show you how to remove the lock
screen password on your Samsung Galaxy
s4 this works with all the lock screen
security options so if you forgot your
pattern password or unlock pin this will
help the solution is a bit brutal though
as you will have to factory reset the
phone that won't affect it in any way
but you will lose all the content on the
s4 including pictures contacts files etc
so make sure you're backing up your
phone often in case you might need to
reset it anyway let's go ahead and see
how this works first you have to turn
off the phone then you have to boot in
recovery mode for that you need to press
simultaneously the home power and volume
up buttons and keep them pressed for
several seconds just until the phone
screen lights up and starts displaying
the galaxy s4 logo now release the power
button but keep pressing the volume up
and the home buttons for a second or two
after you get the small blue text in the
top left corner of the screen saying
recovery booting after that just release
the other buttons and the phone should
start booting in recovery mode this
particular mode offers a couple of
options we're interested in the wipe
data/factory reset' one you can scroll
down to it by using the volume down key
and then select it by pressing the power
button the next screen will ask you to
confirm that you indeed want to reset
your phone and if you do press yes we're
not going to do that here though anyway
once you press yes be patient it will
take about a minute for the phone to get
restored
once the process is finished select
reboot system now from the available
option and that's about it your phone is
now exactly like it was when you first
got it out of the box and the pattern or
the password are gone you have to go
through the setup process again and then
restore your content okay that's about
it for now if you have any questions
leave them below and make sure to stay
tuned for more details on the Samsung
Galaxy s4 I'll see you in the next video
Cheers
you
