Elaoine A passcode helps prevent unauthorized users from accessing your phone. Whether it's a simple 4-digit PIN or a more complex alphanumeric password, it serves as the first line of defense against anyone trying to access your device without your permission.

 

Samsung devices, like most modern smartphones, use encryption to protect the data stored on your phone. This means that even if someone were to bypass the passcode (which is difficult), the data on the phone would remain encrypted and inaccessible without the correct passcode.

 

This means you can't unlock Samsung phone without losing data. The working methods have to factory reset Samsung phone or remotely erase the Samsung phone in order to unlock the device. This is true for Samsung Galaxy and A smartphones, including:

 

  • Samsung Galaxy S24/S23/S22/S21/S20/S10
  • Samsung Galaxy A14/A15/A25/A35/A54
