How to unlock the tablet if forgot the graphic key

Most of the tablets under the control of the Android OS sets the graphic key as blocking, in order to protect its data from prying eyes. But in some situations it happens that after recording a graphical key, its sequence is safely forgotten, and the user deprives for the possibility of removing the blocking. If this happened, there are several ways to unlock your device that work equally both on the tablet and on the smartphone.

If attempts to remember the graphic key were not crowned with success, you can use the standard method for unlocking the Android OS. The fact is that when the user enters a password of 5-10 times (depending on the system version) is incorrect, the device notifies that the following attempt can be made in 30 seconds. During this period, the "Forgot Graphic key?" Will be available on the screen. Click on it and enter your account from your Google Account. If you have them, then we can assume that the problem is solved. It remains only to enter the profile and turn off the lock.

If you do not have credentials (there is no account, or it was not created at all), then it is much more difficult to remove the protection. In this case, try using the following method, working at least far and not in all, but on some devices. Wait for the battery charge to come to an end. As a rule, Android, when you reach a specific threshold, inform the user that the device will soon be discharged. In the alert window that appears, a button of the battery flow rate will be present. You need to go through it in the settings and reset the password.

This method and the method below are relevant if the tablet supports the ability to make a call. In some cases, the method is triggered with a call from a blocked phone. At the time of starting the call, you must have time to click on the settings button, then pull the top panel. You can see more detailed instructions on the video located at the end of the article.

At the moment, a small number of people enjoys a device with the version of Android 2.2 and below. But if so, then you can try to unlock the device by calling it. After answering the call, go to the settings menu and unlock.

Alternatively, the tablet can be attributed to the service where it is unlocked for a fee. If the device is still under warranty, then we hurry to disappear - the removal of the graphics key is not included in this list. In this case, it is necessary to have documentation confirming that the tablet belongs to you. The cost of unlock service can be found in the service, so you need to have some amount of money with you.

In this situation can help flashing the device. It should be noted that this procedure is best implemented by a specialist. If you want to spend it yourself - then at your own risk. An error can lead to the inoperability of the tablet. Remember that flashing will lead to the fact that you can lose the guarantee on the device.

The last method leading to full data loss, but also to removing the graphics key is a reset of settings. The only one, you can pull out the flash card to save information on it. To do this, clamp the "Home" button and simultaneously the reduction key or increase the volume. After notifying the tablet to reset the settings, confirm it. To carry out this process, the amount of charging is needed more than 60%, for its successful completion. Depending on the device manufacturer, the key combination may vary, because of which it is necessary to refer to the instructions for the tablet.

Using alternately every method, in most cases this problem can be solved, albeit with a data loss on the tablet. In order to save the necessary information, it is best to refer to the specialists.
