  1. First, you need to download Android SDK 
    • Open your favorite browser, e.g. Google Chrome.
    • Then type 'android sdk tool' on the Google search bar. (without quotes)
    • Then, in the search results click the available link, it will usually appear on the first search.

  3. Make sure USB debugging has been enabled before your Android phone is locked or blocked by the forgotten password, PIN, or pattern lock screen. This guide might not be helpful to unlock your Android phone if USB debugging is not activated before.
  4. You need to install a specific and compatible USB driver for your Android phone.
  5. Then, connect your locked Android phone with PC or laptop via USB cable.
  6. Now, open the folder where you install Android SDK tools. usually, the SDK installation folder tool is located on the following drive.
    • User
    • App data
    • Local
    • Android
    • Android-SDK
    • Platform-tools
    • when you reach this folder, hold down the shift key then right click and select 'open command window here'
      open command window here
      open command window here
  7. The above step will open the command window, now you need to type or copy some command in the command prompt window. Now, Type the following command.
    • adb devices
    • This command will be checking your devices connected or not. If your device connected, it will return with a list of devices attached and device ID.
    • Then type or copy the following command. How to copy paste text from the command prompt?
    • adb shell
      cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
      sqlite3 settings.db
      update system set value=0 where name='lock_pattern_autolock';
      update system set value=0 where name='lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently';
      .quit
    • Each line is a separate command so hit enter after typing each line.
    • If the above command doesn't work, you can use the second command. It will remove the pattern lock screen.
    • adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key
    • To remove the password, you can use the following command.
    • ADB SHELL RM /DATA/SYSTEM/PASSWORD.KEY
  8. Once you have done this step, you need to restart your Android phone. After you boot your phone, you will see the password or the pattern lock screen will disable.
  9. Once again I remind you, make sure the USB debugging on your device is always enabled before the Android phone is locked. If USB debugging is not enabled then you can not proceed with this guide.
