How to remove the LGI 0168 password. How to unlock your phone if you forgot your password, PIN code or pattern key. Disabling the lock via computer

A phone can be blocked for a variety of reasons, the most common of which is simple forgetfulness of the owner. To cope with the blocking yourself, you will need some skills, and we have devoted this review of our blog to describing them. Options will depend on the specific brand and model of the device; this review is dedicated to unlocking LG phones.

How to find out the backup PIN code to activate your phoneLG

If the phone requires the user to enter a backup PIN code, you need to look for it in the warranty receipt. If after purchase the receipt was lost or you deliberately threw it away, it will be impossible to recover such a code. The most reliable method of such unlocking would be to contact the LG service center, however, there are alternative methods available to every person.

If you don't have the time or desire to send your smartphone to a repair shop, try one of the tips below, but we cannot guarantee that they will help restore the device's functionality while preserving all user settings and files.

  • Reset settings to factory settings;
  • Call from another phone;
  • Reinstalling the operating system;

The most popular and working method that allows you to remove any lock on your phone is a complete factory reset. The only disadvantage of this method is that all files and folders of the owner are deleted, that is, this must be taken into account when planning to perform a Hard Reset on your gadget.

Turn off your phone and turn it on by holding down the volume key and the power button at the same time. Hold the buttons until all active buttons on the device are illuminated, after which you must release the volume and press the button with the image of a house. Immediately after this, if of course everything is done correctly, you will see the formatting and recovery process on the screen, after which your phone will be completely cleared, including passwords.

Phone call


This method will not work on all LG phone models, but if it works, then all your files and any data will remain intact. Just make a call to your gadget from any other device and go to the menu during the conversation. here you will have the option to disable the blocking feature altogether. Remember that not all phones will allow you to answer the phone.

Installing a new OS


This method is similar to a hard reset, as in the first case you will lose all your data installed and downloaded on your LG phone. If you do not know how and where to download the necessary software and do not know how to reinstall it, it is best to entrust this process to professionals.

When enabled, this feature automatically unlocks your screen when at least one of the conditions you specify is met. For example, if the device is located at your home or another device of yours is connected to it via Bluetooth.

You may have previously set up Smart Lock but forgot about it. In this case, remember the given condition and fulfill it. For example, if you have added one of the Bluetooth devices to the list of trusted devices on your smartphone, turn on the wireless module on both. Once connected, the phone can be unlocked without entering a PIN, password or key.

If Smart Lock has not been configured in advance or you cannot meet the specified condition, then this method is not suitable.

2. Bypass protection using a Google account

Some devices with older versions of Android (before 5.0 Lollipop) allow you to bypass the screen lock using your Google Account. But for this, the device must be connected to the Network. To check if your smartphone supports this method, enter any password, PIN or pattern five times.

After five incorrect entry attempts, the message “Forgot your password?” should appear on the screen. or similar hint. Click on this inscription and enter the username and password for the Google account that is the main one on your smartphone. After successfully logging in, you can specify a new password or set up a different screen lock method.

If you also forgot your Google account password, try to restore access to it using the company’s special service.

3. Use the service from the smartphone manufacturer

Some brands offer owners of their devices additional unlocking tools. For example, Samsung has a Find My Mobile service, with which you can remove a pattern, PIN, password, and even a fingerprint. To do this, your device must be linked to your Samsung account, support the service, and be online.

To find out whether such services exist for your model, look for this information in the instructions or on the manufacturer’s official website.

4. Reset the device to factory settings

If other options do not work, all that remains is to return the factory settings. This will lead to the loss of all data, copies of which are not saved in your Google account and others. But you can remove the protection from the screen.

Turn off your smartphone and remove the memory card if it was inside. Then try these key combinations in turn until one of them works (you need to press all the buttons and hold them for about 10-15 seconds):

  • Volume down key + power button;
  • Volume up key + power button;
  • Volume Down key + Power button + Home key;
  • Volume down key + Volume up key + Power button.

When the service menu appears on the display, select Recovery, and then the Wipe data / factory reset command. If none of the key combinations work or you don't see the necessary commands in the menu, look for reset instructions specific to your device model.

After this, the smartphone should return to factory settings within a few minutes. The device may request a login and password from a previously connected Google account, but you will no longer need to unlock the screen. After logging into your old account, the system will restore the settings and data synchronized with it.

All of the unlocking methods listed above are suitable not only for smartphones, but also for Android tablets.

How to unlock iPhone

If you have forgotten the password for your iOS device, you have only one option - reset to factory settings. You can do it in two ways: using iCloud and through iTunes. The first one will only work if you previously enabled the Find My iPhone function on your smartphone. For the second, you will need a USB cable and a computer with iTunes installed.

In both cases, you will not only delete the password, but also all data from the device. But if you have a backup of your iPhone, then after resetting you can restore the information saved in it: calendars, contacts, notes, SMS, settings and shopping lists in iTunes and the App Store. Personal photos and videos will also not be lost if you previously synchronized them with your computer or iCloud.

1. Reset iPhone to factory settings using iCloud

To check if Find My iPhone is active on your smartphone, connect it to the Internet. Then log into your Apple ID account on the iCloud website using your computer and click on the “Find iPhone” icon.

If you don't have a computer at hand, but have an iPad, iPod touch, or another iPhone, you can use the standard Find My iPhone application on any of these gadgets. It works the same as the web version in iCloud.

If Find My iPhone is active, you'll immediately see your locked iPhone (in the app) or select it from the All Devices list (on the iCloud website). If the device is not displayed, proceed to the second method. Otherwise, continue.

Click on the smartphone icon, and then on the “Erase iPhone” button and follow further prompts.

This will remove your passcode and all data from your device, allowing you to set up your iPhone again.

2. Reset iPhone to factory settings via iTunes

Launch iTunes on your computer, then connect your smartphone to it using a USB cable.

If you have previously synced your iPhone with this computer, click on the smartphone icon in iTunes. In the menu that opens, sync again and create a fresh backup of the device on your computer. Then click “Restore from a copy...”, select the newly created image and follow the system prompts until complete recovery.

If you've never synced your iPhone with your current computer, or iTunes also asks for a password, then most likely you won't be able to create a new backup. But you can do a reset in a special mode, and then restore the device from old copies (if any). Follow these steps to reset:

1. Force restart your iPhone.

On iPhone SE, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and older models, hold down the Home key and the top (or side) button for 10 seconds or more until the recovery screen appears.

On an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus, hold down the Side key and the Volume Down button for 10 seconds or more until you see the recovery screen.

On an iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus, hold and immediately release the volume up key and then the volume down key. After that, press and hold the Side button until the recovery screen appears.

2. When the recovery dialog box appears on your computer display, click “Restore” and follow the iTunes prompts.

3. If the iPhone exits recovery mode while iTunes is downloading the necessary files from the Internet, press and hold the force restart buttons again until the device returns to this mode.

Although the instructions for both reset methods are based on the iPhone, they will also work if you suddenly forget your iPad password.

Let's look at how to unlock a forgotten Android pattern key.

Despite the convenience and simplicity of this feature, many users often forget the key and are unable to unlock the phone.

For such cases, the operating system provides many methods for resetting data that will return you access to the phone.

Graphic key function. Essence and use

Today, smartphone users try to protect the data on their phone as much as possible. To prevent outsiders from simply picking up and viewing the contents of the device, developers create control systems using lock windows.

Each type of screen lock requires an access key (short code, password or gesture). A graphic key is a new development that allows you to avoid remembering complex passwords and phrases. To go to the main screen of the gadget, the user simply needs to connect the dots in the drawing, creating the shape that was invented at the stage of setting up the key.

Rice. 2 – illustration of how a graphic key works

Setting up a graphic key

You can create this method of unlocking the screen in any version of the Android operating system. Follow the instructions:

  • Go to the gadget settings and open the security options window in the personal data tab;
  • Select “Screen lock”;
  • In the window that opens, select the “Graphic key” field. Set the order of connecting the dots and remember it. Save the action. Now, when you try to unlock the display, you will need to draw a previously invented figure.

A detailed scheme for enabling a graphic password is described in the figure below:

Rice. 3 – screen lock setting

Benefits of using the Graphic Key feature:

  • Quick unlock;
  • There is no need to memorize codes;
  • Ability to reset a graphic element if the user has forgotten it.

There are more than ten ways to reset the lock screen. Let's look at each of them in detail. Choose a method depending on the capabilities of your phone and your skills in using the gadget.

Method 1 – Simple Password Reset

If, in addition to the pattern key, you also have a digital code installed on your phone, you can easily restore access to the device. Try entering the pattern several times until all attempts are exhausted. After this, a system message will appear in the smartphone window stating that the ability to enter has been suspended. Click on the “Unblock in another way” button.

A screen for entering a digital short password appears. Type it in and your phone will unlock automatically. It is worth noting that this method is only suitable for those who have previously configured several methods for activating the phone. Otherwise, the button to unlock in another way will not be on the screen.

Rice. 4 – simultaneous use of several authorization methods

Method 2 – Call the phone

This method works on older versions of Android OS. Try calling a locked phone from another device. After accepting the call, the smartphone will automatically activate and you will not need to enter s. In the same way, you can bypass entering other types of screen locks.

Rice. 5 – incoming call window in Android

If your smartphone has new versions of the operating system (5.0 and higher), a simple call will not restore it. However, you can restore access using third-party PC programs that automatically delete the saved key script. Examples of such utilities:

  • Bypass;
  • Delete Lock;
  • Pattern Unlock.

The essence of how these programs work is that it is installed on a smartphone and on a PC. Using the remote gadget recovery feature, you can start the file reset process on your device from your computer. Reboot your phone so that the key settings disappear.

If the Bypass utility was previously installed on your phone, to unlock it, just send an SMS to the device with the text “1234 reset” (without quotes). Bypass will scan the message texts and, if it detects a secret text in one of them, it will reboot the smartphone and delete the graphic element.

After access is restored, immediately go to your phone's security settings and disable the blocking function.

Method 3 – Dead Battery

This method is suitable for any Android smartphone. However, it requires time and attention. You should wait until the phone is discharged and a notification window appears indicating that the battery is critically charged.

In this window, you can click on the “Battery Status” button. After this, you will be redirected to the battery usage statistics menu. To do this, you do not need to enter a pattern key.

Rice. 6 – restoring access through the Connect Charger window

The only difficulty of the method is that the system window disappears 10-15 seconds after it appears. It's not easy to catch a message when your phone is slowly draining.

Method 4 – Login to your personal Google account

If the user enters a graphic figure incorrectly several times (more than 5 attempts), a notification will appear on the screen indicating that he needs to wait half a minute before trying to enter again. At this moment, the “Forgot your key?” button also appears. By clicking on this field, you will be redirected to the login window for your Google account.

Type your email and password into the appropriate text fields. After checking the data, the password will be reset. To install it again, go to security settings and set a new figure.

Rice. 7 – recovery via Google page

Method 5 – Starting an Internet Connection

To authorize your account, you must have an active Internet connection. If you enter the correct username and password, but there is no connection, you should try connecting to the Internet using your smartphone’s hot keys:

  • First, restart your phone;
  • Immediately after switching on, a status bar will appear (“curtain” at the top of the screen). Expand this window and click on “Mobile Data”.

Rice. 8 – enable mobile internet

  • If there is a router nearby that your smartphone has previously connected to, you can press the Wi-Fi button and the connection will happen automatically without entering a password.

After activating the Internet, enter your Google account information again. Now the system will be able to recognize the page and access to the phone will be restored.

Rice. 9 – enable Wi-Fi using hot keys

If you are unable to open the notification center window, use the special system code to connect to Wi-Fi:

  • There is an “Emergency Call” button on the lock screen. Click on it;
  • In the window that opens, enter the command “*#*#7378423#*#*” (without quotes);
  • Wait for the system configuration window to appear and select the Service Tests tab (in some versions - Service Provider);
  • Click on the WLAN item;
  • Connect to Wi-Fi.

Rice. 10 – selection of connection window

If there is no router nearby, replace the phone with another SIM card with an Internet connection and activate data transfer over the mobile network. Enter your Google+ details. After this, Android will be unlocked.

Method 6 – Manually removing an option

To use this method, the phone must have the Recovery Mode option installed. It is only available in official phone models. Depending on the type of recovery window (CWM or TWRP), the interface and tab layout may differ slightly.

Move the Aroma Explorer archive from your PC to your phone and move the file to your memory card. Now go to Recovery Mode and open the folder with the program archive. Install it. Now in recovery mode you will also have access to system files.

Rice. 11 – installing the program in Recovery Mode

Go to the dataàsystem directory and in the list of files that appears, delete the object called “gesture.key” - it is responsible for the installed graphic key. Without this file, the password will be automatically reset after a reboot.

How to start Recovery Mode? To do this, just press the power, volume and home buttons. Hold them down for 15-20 seconds until a window with commands appears.

Another option for deleting the “gesture.key” file is to connect the phone to the computer in storage mode (the mode can be selected through the notification center without unlocking the screen). Using regular Windows Explorer, go to the phone folder at the dataàsystem path. Delete the pattern object.

Rice. 12 – deleting the key file using a PC

Method 7 – Instant OS Recovery Utility

This method also requires you to use Recovery Mode. Download the archive with the GEST utility to your smartphone using a computer. The application works by automatically searching for the Gesture Key file and deactivating it. The archive is available at this link.

Now go into Recovery mode and install the application from the archive in the same way as shown in Figure 11. Now just reboot your Android. After the lock screen appears, enter any combination of lines and access will be restored. Don’t forget that after successfully logging into your smartphone’s desktop, you should disable the pattern in the settings.

Method 8 – Deleting a key using an additional account

This method is only suitable if the phone has several authorized users and root rights. Each user account must have the SuperSU utility running in multi-user mode.

Rice. 13 – SuperSU application settings

A specific pattern combination can only be installed on the account of one user. If you try to put the same figure on the lock screen of another account, the system will not allow it. Thanks to this option, you will always be able to access your phone, even if you forget one of the keys.

Log in to the second user's account and launch SuperSU. Go to the dataàsystem window and delete the file that contains the graphic key, as well as objects with the extension db, db-wal and db-shm– objects of local phone settings.

Method 9 – Call up the Recovery menu and reset settings

This option is also suitable for any Android smartphone or tablet. To remove a forgotten key, you must reset the settings to the original settings. This function is provided on all phones, and the process is activated through the settings window. Since the user will not be able to access the settings from a locked gadget, the Recovery Mode menu should be used.

Turn off the phone and launch the recovery window by pressing three keys simultaneously (Home, Volume and Power). Run the data reset process shown in the figure.

Rice. 14 – reset settings to factory settings

Remember! As a result of this action, all data and user files will be deleted from the smartphone without the possibility of further recovery. Before resetting, we advise you to remove the memory card and SIM card from the phone so that the contacts are not deleted.

After the reboot, you will need to reconfigure the gadget:

  • Connect to the Internet;
  • Log in via Google;
  • Set location settings.

Rice. 15 – factory reset process running

Method 10 – Instructions for Sony gadgets

The above described universal recovery methods that are suitable for any device, regardless of the manufacturer. However, in some cases, it is better to use unique methods that are developed for your phone model. Let's look at the instructions for phones and tablets from Sony. The company recently developed software to unlock phones using firmware. In this case, all data and other settings will be saved.

Sony devices are restored using the Flashtool program. It is installed on a computer or laptop. Then the phone is connected to the PC and through the interaction of interfaces the user can restore the device or flash its firmware. You can download the application from the manufacturer’s website using the link.

Download the official version of the password reset utility. This can also be done through the Sony website.

Launch Flashtool on your computer and connect your locked mobile to your PC. Next follow the instructions:

  • Open the Tools window;
  • Click on the Bundles field and then on Create;
  • In the window that appears, fill in the fields for firmware location, device model, installation type and utility version. Example of data to fill:

  • Confirm the creation of the password remover by clicking on the Create button.

Now flash your smartphone using Flashtool. Instead of updating, select the file created above. After restarting the gadget, the key on the lock screen will disappear.

If you have any difficulties restoring your Sony phone, use the step-by-step instructions in the video.

Method 11 – Hardware failure and service

Sometimes, unstable operation of the lock screen is the result of hardware failures. The user can enter the pattern correctly, but due to problems with the display module, the sensor does not correctly recognize touches on the screen.

If you have problems connecting to both the mobile Internet and the router network at the same time, this may indicate a faulty antenna module. It often breaks after the phone is dropped or hit. Contact the service center for a detailed diagnosis of your phone.

Method 12 – Data Reset for HTC

Not all phone models support pressing three buttons simultaneously to perform a reset. If you are unable to bring up the Recovery menu by holding them, try a method that is exactly suitable for the model of your Android smartphone.

On an HTC phone, you first need to turn off the gadget and remove its battery. Now press the Volume Down button and the Power key until the recovery menu appears.

Rice. 17 – key combination for HTC

Navigate between settings rows using the volume keys. Select the Clear Storage field.

It should be noted that there is a separate HTC Sync utility for HTC devices. With its help, you can quickly reset a forgotten graphic password. The application is installed on the computer. You can download the installation file from this link.

After installation, connect the phone to the PC and, using the Lock Bypass process, wait until the data is reset and the device reboots. Unlock the device in the gadget settings. If the pattern window does not disappear the first time, repeat the reset.

Rice. 18 – reset for HTC

Method 13 – Reset for Samsung

Owners of Samsung devices just need to turn off the device and press the power button, volume up button and the center key. In the Recovery Mode window that appears, select the wipe data/factory reset command.

Method 14 – For Huawei smartphones

On Huawei smartphones, information and settings are reset as follows:

  • The user disconnects the device. Then you need to remove the battery and install it again. If, due to the unique characteristics of the phone, the battery cannot be obtained, immediately launch Recovery after turning it off;
  • Enter recovery mode by pressing the volume and power buttons simultaneously. Perform a reset by clicking on the factory reset section.

For new models of Huawei smartphones, this instruction may not apply, so the gadget will need to be restored through the manufacturer’s website http://consumer.huawei.com.

How to prevent the problem?

If you regularly use the Graphic Key feature and do not want to face the problem of a forgotten line combination in the future, ensure that your phone has the following functions:

  • Install Root rights. Superuser mode allows you to quickly resolve software-related errors. You will have access to all the hidden options of your phone. It is worth noting that by setting up root, the device warranty is lost;
  • Use the SMS Bypass app. It can be purchased in the market for a dollar or downloaded as a trial version on the manufacturer’s website. Thanks to this program, you will be able to quickly restore access to your gadget in just a few clicks.
