        • Hi, unfortunately for unlock forgotten security screen lock pattern protection need to use Internet data connection either with Wifi or with GSM provider. If you can not provide Internet network, then nothing you can do for save your data unless you have to do hard reset, sadly doing hard reset will remove all important data and installed applications.

          • For too many wrong pattern attempts , For security reasons it asks to login with your Google account username and Password, but if you are not connected to wifi , you are helpless,

            The below Can work in Samsung Galaxy
            1) On the screen where it asks for Google login , below you can find emergency Call tab , click on it
            2) Once in the Emergency Dial in , swipe the notification features on the Top,
            3) Once when in the notification screen you can turn on your wifi , and Wifi becomes enabled.
            4) Then you are good to go once connected to wifi, you can login through your Google Account and well you get unlocked,
            5) Provide a new or re-use your earlier Pattern !!

            If you don’t remember your Google Account then you have to do a Reset where you may lose your Data , try the below steps
            1) Press Volume Up + Home buttons simultaneously and without releasing these buttons press power button.
            2)Now select wipe data + factory reset when the Dark Screen appears like a DOS prompt
            On next screen select YES.
            This will erase all data and restore your phone to factory settings .Press volume up/down key to change the options and home button to select the option. This will rest your Phone !!

            Happy and Hopeful Wrong Pattern Hunting !!

    • Hi, basically if your Samsung Galaxy Young does still at standard conditions (without root or without custom rom), then the factory default operating system will be reinstall automatically after doing hard reset for factory data reset. Please try to hard reset again one more time. If the camera still can not work, then you have to test download other 3th party camera from Google Play Store to test your hardware camera still fine. We also suggest you to give MicroSD card for your Samsung Galaxy Y because the internal memory are really limited.

    • Hi, usually if you forgot pin lock, then you can try several time until your Samsung Galaxy Y freezing, but will not reset by itself, unless your phone get trouble. You should do hard reset with hardware button combination key to reformat the operating system of your Samsung Galaxy Y.

  4. Thanks for this. I knew we had to press 3 buttons for the reset. Others please note that you might have to really hold those buttons for a long time and keep it pressed even if it reboots. Then the Android will appear.
