Remove Forgotten Pattern Lock in Android

If you forgot your android phone or tablet pattern lock and want to remove it then you are arrived in the right place.
basically there are two ways :-
  1. If your USB Debugging mode is enabled and your phone is locked.
  2. If your USB Debugging mode is not enabled and your phone is locked
Some have a question “What is USB Debugging mode”
Ans. It is a setting in your mobile which can be enabled or Disabled.USB Debugging Mode is a mode that can be enabled in Android to identify and remove errors from (computer hardware or software), after connecting the device directly to a computer with a USB cable.
to Enable USB Debugging Go to Setting---> Developer Option –> check USB Debugging option..

CASE 1:If your USB Debugging mode is enabled
Before going to this U have to first install ADB on your computer
        Just visit Android SDK website click here link
        Download SDK tool and install only ADB software
But this will be a large file so I give u another link where u find simple adb software
         Goto to this website link
        and download version 1.3 direct link

      double click and install..


 adb installer
Hit “Y” three time and it will install..
  • Connect your device with you PC via USB cord
  • Make sure that USB debugging is enabled in your device
  • In PC Now, go to RUN (by pressing Ctrl + R) and try CMD command
  • Finally, type the following commands in the CMD window one after one

Copy Paste all at once in CMD
Adb shell cd/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databasessqlite3 settings.db update system set value=0 where name=’lock_pattern_autolock’; update system set value=0 where name=’lockscreen.lockedout permanently’; .quit
OR
type “adb” (enter)
”adb Shell” (enter)
rm /data/system/gesture.key
if you have Password lock than
type “adb” enter
”adb Shell”
rm /data/system/password.key


  After applying the above stated commands, reboot your device now. After normal reboot, you again will notice Lock pattern screen, but this time, you will have the choice to create a new pattern lock code for your device.

I found a way To Enable  USB debugging mode even if your phone is locked
Step 1: Power off and then Power on your Android device.
Step 2: Start Tapping home button fast(4-5 times/sec) right after you see you Phone’s logo on screen. During this process you might notice Emergency call button popping up often and in that case you need to keep on tapping it and the home button simultaneously. Also, password or keypad screen may flash on your screen few times and you will also notice a lag time due to tapping and this is a part of the process.
Step 3: If this process has worked for you, you will see your Android home buttons or Home Screen  which confirms that you have gained access to your device.

Step 4: Now go to Settings---> Developer Option ---> check USB Debugging mode
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





CASE 2: If your USB Debugging mode is not enabled
you will need Android multi tool software for PC download here
STEP1 : power off your mobile and start your mobile in fastboot mode
  To start in Fastboot mode press volume down + power button

Step 2: start Android muti tool it will look like this          mutitool screen
              

   Step3 : choose Zero 0 (Goto command prompt) and  enter your mobile will restart and your pattern lock is now removed
       If your USB Debugging mode is enable

      power On your mobile..
     Simply Select 3 Reset face /Gesture lock
