Many users modern smartphones on the Android platform are very concerned about the security of their personal data, which is stored in the device's memory. This is why they use password protection. Pattern lock is an alternative to a numeric password combination and is used on every second smartphone.

But you are probably faced with a situation where the graphic key is forgotten and there is no way to unlock the device. And we will consider mainly the owners of smartphones of the series Sony Xperia... So what should we do?

The first and most classic pattern unlocking

Turn on your screen Sony Xperia where the pattern key entry page is displayed. You need to enter the wrong combination several times in a row for the system to report a temporary blocking of the possibility of entering the key. This limitation will be in effect for 30 seconds, but it is during this time that an additional button appears with the note “Forgot your pattern?”.

Choose this option. What will happen next? The system will ask you to enter the name of your personal account in the Google system and at the end will require you to specify a password. If the data is correct, the system will prompt the user to select a new pattern.

The second method is a complete system reset

You can find a hotkey combination for your Sony Xperia model on the web, but usually it is a combination of a power button and a volume rocker.

After the system is rolled back to factory settings, all data will have to be entered, as when the smartphone was turned on for the first time. Time, date, account data - all this must be recorded when turning on. Picture password will be disabled, but it can be reactivated in the settings menu.

good afternoon, my M5 Dual does not help anything, please advise something ...
Thanks! V service menu entered, but the item "NFC" in the "Service Tests" was not. I pressed something like a reboot - it started without a graphic key, but how out of the box ?? Returned to factory settings, i.e. with the loss of all data. Fortunately, the data was not particularly valuable (the child's phone was).
I have a sony xperia sp and more than one code does not fit what to do.
The Xperia T does not help to remove the pattern.
Hello, I downloaded the program from the official website, connected the phone (Sony M2) to the cable, she writes that it is necessary to remove the device from the lock! Although for this I downloaded it! What to do.
Hello, I've already tried everything with the sony Xperia m2 model, nothing helps, please tell me how to remove the graphic key from the factory settings and forgot.
Infa bullshit., Now I checked it on my z5 compact, there is no need, because I always remember passwords and graphic keys, 2e I have a fingerprint scanner.
I suffered for two days. I thought everything. money must be paid to someone. I have m 2 sony. but it turned out to be not so stupid)) downloaded the program from the official site. But as here they write, some gave out an inscription that the phone needs to be removed from the lock. ... almost despaired. I explain to those who do not understand how it works! download the program. from two items we choose what we need (phone or tablet) in my case, the phone. do not connect it to your computer. choose recovery by. Well, here you can torment yourself with the phone. I do not remember exactly how, I remember that the installation took place on a switched off phone. And I tortured the on-off button at the same time as the volume. now I'm sitting content. if you are not a guru like me, then my advice to you. be patient and try different methods. and read along the way step by step instructions what to do with the phone.
The information is crap. Z3 born in 2016 has been blocked. I changed my password in hop (on the occasion of the holiday on February 24, i.e. February 23), in the morning I could not remember. Shoveled all the sites - the same thing. I will say this - nothing works! Already desperate, but on March 4, a miracle happened - the 1143rd attempt! and so! I can already advise! Conclusion if not account- hammer the screen, laziness - demolish the system! Buttons, codes - DO NOT WORK! At least in updated versions.
i click on emergency call and I drive the number, nothing just turns off and nothing appears, it's just a lie.
I have a Sony Xperia V. Can I check if someone is entering the phone or is trying?
