I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and set my unlock feature into a pattern. But I'm having trouble on this since I've forgot my unlock pattern. When I've tried a several times using incorrect patterns, the phones turn into a time lock. Is there anyway to unlock this?

Hallo Matthew,

The following steps will be helpful for you to unlock your phone:

  • You will need to get the IMEI for your phone number by typing *#06# into your keypad. A screen that has the code will appear. Note the code somewhere.
  • You will have to contact your network provider and then request for an unlock code. There may be cases where the network provider cannot give the unlock code until you have had some time with them,for instance 6 to 12 months. In such a situation, you can get the code the following unlocking website: UnlockCode4U.com.
  • You can obtain the unlock code over the phone, or you can as well get it from the email that you receive from the unlocking website.
  • After that you will need to enter a SIM Card a different network, and then power your phone on.
  • You will be prompted for the unlock code.
  • Enter the unlock code into the phone device and your phone will be unlocked.

Enter the unlock code into the phone device and your phone will be unlocked.

Regards,

Carl
