How to unlock the phone when it gets locked after wrong password entry? How to crack the phone lock pattern when you forget the code? Read on to find answers to these questions and learn about Dr.Fone!
How to unlock the phone?
There are many ways to unlock your phone. They vary depending on the model and can be, for example, numeric codes, Face ID, fingerprint or a special pattern. Occasionally, users forget or enter a wrong code several times in a row and the phone is completely locked. Luckily for both Android and iOS smartphones, there are options to fix this problem. Read on to learn how to unlock your phone.
How to unlock an Android phone?
If you enter your device's lock code incorrectly several times, you should see the message "I forgot the pattern" on the screen. Select it, then log in to your Google account and set a new lock code. You can also download Dr.Fone software to your computer, which you can use to unlock the phone. You will need to connect your smartphone to the computer and turn it on in Recovery mode for this. If these options fail, there is still a last resort, i.e. factory reset. As a result, all data on the phone will be lost, but it will be possible to unlock it.
How to unlock an iPhone?
If you forget how to unlock your iPhone, you can turn on Safe Mode. Turn off the phone and, holding down the lock button (or another one depending on the model - you can check it here), connect the device to the computer via USB cable. The lock button must be pressed until the emergency screen appears. Then find the device on your computer and press Play. This mode will erase all data from your iPhone, but you can restore it from a backup or iCloud later. You can also use Dr.Fone software.

Blocked SIM card - what next?
The code for the SIM card is rarely entered, so it is usually forgotten. If you enter an incorrect PIN code three times, the SIM card will be blocked. Then it is worth reaching for the PUK code, which is on the SIM card packaging. After entering this number, you can set a new PIN code and unlock the phone. If you cannot find the PUK code, call the Customer Service Office of your network for the necessary assistance.
Now you know how to unlock the phone in emergency situations, as well as how to unlock the SIM card and recover the PUK code. While the situation with a locked smartphone can be stressful, it can usually be resolved easily. Reach for Dr.Fone, special phone options or factory reset. Write in the comment if you have ever unlocked your phone after entering the wrong code!

I regret the fact that I was born too late to explore the globe and too early to explore space. My substitutes are games (mainly strategies and RPG), books (sci-fi and fantasy) and movies / series. I live in (almost) wilderness, I am a cat's roommate and a dog friend of a German Shepherd.
