[FAQ] I forgot my password, so is there a way to initialize my smartphone without unlocking it?
Q: I forgot my password, so is there a way to initialize my smartphone without unlocking it?
A: It can be initialized in recovery mode or initialization mode.
If you forget your smartphone unlock PIN or password, you can try your best until you remember it, but it's definitely faster to initialize it. As a matter of course, all the data in the terminal will be erased, so games that have not issued a takeover code will be erased for each account. Also, data such as photos will be lost if it is not in the SD card. I don't know what's going on in the world, so make sure to back up important data as much as possible. Then, it is an initialization method, but there is a method to use the recovery mode. This is a feature that Android itself originally has. However, depending on the terminal, the function of the "boot loader" equipped with the "recovery mode" may be sealed.
Depending on the model, the "boot loader" itself may be sealed.
In that case, can't it be initialized? !! You might think that it has a function called "initialization mode" instead of the boot loader. The basic method is to press and hold "Power + Volume Button". However, depending on the model, there are many cases where the button is different depending on the terminal, such as + or-of the volume button, or you need to press other buttons at the same time, so it is sure to check with the model name of the terminal you want to initialize. Check here for recovery mode!In addition, if you have installed "Android Device Manager" in advance, there is device initialization in the same function, so you can also initialize from there.
If you install it in advance, you can initialize it via your PC or another smartphone.
This is easier, so we recommend that you install and set up the app in advance. Check here for the initialization method using "Android Device Manager"!Initialization is possible even if you bring it to a carrier shop, but there are conditions such as it may be expensive to initialize, you are still under contract with the carrier, and you are the owner of the terminal. In other words, you cannot use initialization at the carrier shop with a smartphone that you purchased or handed over as a second-hand product. be careful. Check out Google related services
