Unlock Using Custom Recovery “Pattern Password Disable” (SD card needed)

This method of unlocking Samsung phone is a bit more complex and will only work for only some users, who have the knowledge of “Rooting” and “Custom Recovery” and those who have an SD card slot in their phone. Your phone will need an SD card slot since this process will require the transfer of a custom recovery ZIP file to your Samsung phone that needs to be installed in order to unlock Samsung smartphone password. If you have both the benefits of an SD card slot and knowledge about custom recovery then follow the steps below.

Forgetting a Password can be annoying but not impossible, the human mind often has to go through a lot of adverse conditions that make it to function lesser than the usual thus you may sometimes end up forgetting your Android Phone’s lock screen password. In such a case, here are few tips to help you create a password that would be memorable.

7 Tips To Make Your Password Memorable

Tip 1 – Have A Good Base Password. 

A Base Password is usually a term or phrase which you can use in multiple places while signing up just by making some changes, like changing its spelling or changing from letters to numbers or alphanumeric characters. For Ex: You can change “Love” to Luv or i to ! or S to $.

Tip 2 – Use Your Favorite Word From Any Book You Like

Just open a book that you like and choose your favorite paragraph or section from that book and pick out a memorable word from there and make it your password.

Tip 3- Play With Vowels

Change, Add or Omit vowels from any phrase that you like and you will get your password. For example, “It is My Name” can be  ItMN.

Tip 4-Use Motor Patterns

This method is based on what pattern your fingers are making in the keyboard while typing the Password. Just remember the pattern and you will not need to remember the password itself.

Tip 5- Connect The First Letters Of A Passphrase

This is the easiest method, just take a phrase that you like, let’s say for example “Love Makes The World Go Round” and take the first letter of each word and LMTWGR and there it is! Your Password.

Tip 6-Mix Words

In this process, your brain will need to put some effort. Take a word or phrase and jumble up the words to get your password. For example: “chocolate milkshake“ can be cmhiolckoslhaatkee. 

Tip 7- Reverse

Just reverse the usual words. Although this can be predictable sometimes, I won’t rule out this option and if you use a less common word then this process will work fine. For example, Black Cat will become taCkcalB or kcalBtaC
