Unlock Your Phone with a Google Account

When we set up a new Android phone, we always log in with our Google account. This account is used to unlock the phone if we forget our password or pattern.

If you enter the wrong password, PIN, or pattern multiple times, a message will appear on the screen asking us to try again, along with a 'Forgot Pattern/Password' option.

After tapping this option, you'll need to log in with the same Google account registered on your phone.
