[Tutorial] Hacking/Bypassing Android Password/Pattern/Face/PIN

Introduction


Android is one of the most popular SmartPhone Operating System. As of now, there are over a billion android users. Every android user must be familiar with Pattern/PIN lock/Face Recognition, a security feature which ensures authorized access to their devices. But sometimes the users forget the pattern or they try the wrong pattern more than the permitted number of tries allowed, getting locked out. In this guide, I have collected almost all possible methods to break/bypass a pattern/PIN/Face protected android device.

Method 1 ( Only If Custom Recovery like Cwm, TWRP, Xrec, Etc... is Installed:)

Procedure:

2. Insert the sd card into your phone
3. Reboot into recovery mode
4. Flash the zip
5. Reboot
6. Done!

Note: After Restarting if it still asks any pattern/PIN, just try some random pattern/PIN

Method 2 (For All Devices With Custom Recovery Installed )

Procedure (Using Aroma File Manager)

1.Download and Copy Aroma File manager.zip to your memory card.

2. Open your recovery (press volume Down + Power button or it can be different according to the phones. Generally, the phones who have pressable button on the middle they have to press all three buttons. Google for your pattern)

3. There will be an option in recovery called “mount”. Go in that option and then mount all the cache and everything that is there.

4. Then select “update” and select “apply update from SD/external” and select aroma file manger.zip file that you downloaded.

5. After Flashing or updating, the aroma file manager will open. Use volume keys for up/down and power button 2 select like you use to get into recovery.

6. In aroma File manager, Go to menu, which is located on the bottom strip and then select Settings.

7. Go to bottom n select “mount all partition in startup ” then exit from aroma file manager.

8. Now after exit, re-update that aroma file again and it will open again.

9. Go to data >> and then System.

Then find ‘gesture.key’ (for pattern lock) and ’password.key’ (for password lock) then long touch on gesture.key or password.key and sum option will be prompted, choose to delete and delete that file and restart.


Note: After Restarting if it still asks any pattern/PIN, Read :just try some random pattern/PIN
