What do you think is the purpose of Google account synchronization?

  • First, you will need it in downloading Apps at Google Play store.
  • Second, it can become as your “knight of the shining armor”, if you ever forget your pattern lock.

What will happen if you forget your pattern lock?

Pattern lock helps you protect your privacy by not allowing anyone to access your mobile phone without knowing the pattern lock. However, it can also bring you to great disaster if you forget it yourself. It will make your Samsung galaxy unusable. So, what should you do?

Since you didn’t sync your Samsung Galaxy with your Google account or if you did, but also forgot it, we have no choice but to reset your mobile phone. Some call it, hard reset because it will bring back to its factory settings.

  • Put your battery back.
  • Press the “up volume key”, “Power button” and the ‘Home button” simultaneously, until you see the “Recovery Mode Screen.
 
  • Using your volume key, move the cursor down to “wipe data/factory reset” and press the “home” to select.
  • Now, another screen appears for confirmation. Just move down the cursor to “Yes” and again use the “Home button” to select.
