Unlock Android phone after too many pattern attempts

Locked android phone

This is intended for a Myphone a618 or other devices with the same design. If you can't open your android phone because you've forgotten your unlock pattern or any screen lock, you can still open your phone. I know two(2) ways to unlock it if you COMPLETELY forgot how to unlock it. You can either use your Google account or ,if nothing works, hard reset your device. I will show you both.



You can go back to where you bought your device or to a professional but that will cost money; the ones I'm showing you are free.

Step 1: Use your google account

If you don't have data connection or internet access or if you don't have your google account linked to your phone, then, you can skip this step.

At the bottom right part of the screen, you'll see "Forgot Pattern" button. Tap it and it will ask you to enter your email and password. After you entered those fields, tap "sign in" and you'll go to google play. There you'll see instructions. Just follow them and you'll be ok.

Step 2: Boot to Android System Recovery

If you don't have google account or data connection, this may be the only way but it will delete all information you have on your phone;eg. email accounts(if there are any), cache, installed apps(not built in), settings, and other info; but it will keep your music, pictures, videos, and other files. Hard reset will set your device to factory settings just like when you bought it.

You can start by powering off your device in any way you can.
Removing the sd is optional.(If you remove them, the apps you have on your sd card will still be there but it won't be installed so it wastes memory.)
Then turn it on while pressing volume down button.
