Help Can't remember password to open phone

[Android Question]

I have forgotten my password to unlock my samsung galaxy J3 6 mobile phone, so can't get into it.

 

[William Jones]

Keep trying or reset it. I did the same just yesterday. I tried every permutation I could think of, then I just gave it a break and the correct passphrase came back to me after a couple of hours. Does it have a little reset hole in it to reset it even though you can't access Factory Reset?

I'm new to this, where would I find the reset hole?

 

[Hadron]

Phones don't usually have a reset hole. If you need to reset the trick is to boot into recovery mode and do it from there. This involves booting the phone while pressing a couple of buttons, probably power + one of the volume keys at the same time (varies with manufacturer and I don't remember Samsung offhand).

A reset will wipe the device, so it's a last resort unless you have everything backed up.

Thanks for your help, William and Hadron will try this

If following the above advice, pay close attention to Option 2. If you reset the device without knowing the Google username/password for the primary account, you will lock yourself out due to Factory Reset Protection.

Unfortunately there's not a lot that can be done in this case. Where did you get the phone?
