How to unlock your android phone when you forget your lock pattern

How this can be happened?

If you are an Android user, you would really like the android locking mechanism provided by the lock pattern method. That looks really cool !!!
Let's say one of your friends have told you about this for the first time and you have set the lock pattern on your phone. After some time you may have suddenly forgotten your lock pattern. What you are going to do?

What you should do to overcome this weird situation?

 If you have entered the wrong pattern five times then you need to wait for another 30 seconds to unlock the device. If you forgot you screen unlock pattern then you need to reset it. The simple procedure is mentioned below –

1. Continue to enter the unlock pattern five times until you are prompted with forgot password (forgot pattern in some handsets) at the bottom right side of the screen.
2. Tap on the Forgot Password option and you would be prompted to sign in with the existing Google or Gmail account information. You need to provide the ID when you first register or activated your phone. If you have that, it would be easy to get in for you and then change the unlock pattern (atleast by now you would be remembering your unlock pattern).
3. If you don’t know the Gmail ID or the password is wrong then there is only one solution to hard reset your handset. The data present on the added SD card will not be wiped out but you would lose your personal data or information or contacts stored on your phone memory.

How to improve face unlock feature in Android with your Samsung Galaxy phone

With my earlier post, I have mentioned that Ice Cream Sandwich has a major security vulnerability with it's face unlock feature.  Google which has always said that the ‘Face Unlock’ feature was no more than a gimmick and definitely not a serious biometric feature that pointed at security found that their feature allowed users to unlock their devices using just a photo of themselves only days after it was announced. (But this feature has been improved in JellyBean, as i mentioned there)

Samsung on the other hand, are determined to make the feature evolve and be taken more seriously as a genuine security measure that can be used by users. They have added a feature which requires the user to blink when the window that is capturing your face comes up to prove that you are indeed not a photograph. With regards to when the update containing this fix will come out, it is still unclear. Be careful when you are updating your firmware since there are so many methods on the internet to update your phone for this value pack. Best is to get the update from Samsung itself through your mobile phone.

This feature is added in the Samsung Galaxy S "value pack" update. Be careful when you are updating your firmware since there are so many methods on the internet to update your phone for this value pack. Best is to get the update from Samsung itself through your mobile phone.If you are still not updated your firmware on your Samsung Galaxy, hurry up and update your software.

Cheers !!!
