Locked your phone with a password and forgot it? We will tell you how to unblock.

Today, cell phones have become not just a means of communication, but also the custodians of important data that should be safe from third parties. Therefore, often people lock their devices and set passwords. But in everyday rush, you can forget the right combination. In addition, a child can accidentally set the password.

By the way, the SIM card may be blocked, because of which you will have to think about how to unlock the phone. This issue is especially relevant, so manufacturers often build self-unlocking capabilities into their products. But first you need to understand what kind of blocking is set and what exactly is blocked, but first things first.

What to do if the operator has blocked the phone?

This type of blocking is used by cellular companies so that the client cannot use the phone with a SIM card from another company. If you install a SIM card from another company, the phone will ask you for an unlock code.

Of course, it's good if your operator is kind and will provide the code at the first request. To do this, call the support service and dictate the phone's IMEI.

But in this way codes are provided in very rare cases.

If the operator refused you, then you should not be upset, as there are many craftsmen who can change the firmware in order to unlock it. Instructions are often found on the Internet, so even with a small set of knowledge, you can handle the task yourself.

How to unlock a phone of a certain brand?

Most modern devices have a password protection function. The user sets the code independently. But there is always a risk that the password will be forgotten and this will lead to the inability to use the device. In this situation, try changing the firmware. That is, reset all settings to factory settings. Of course, then the setting will have to be done “for yourself” again, but there is no other option. This type of unlocking is different for each manufacturer.

Nokia unlock

For the procedure you will need:

• Computer
• Phone cable
• Nokia PC Suite
• Nokia Unlock Tool

Run the first program and connect the device to the computer. When it is recognized, then launch the second application. After that, the phone should be recognized by the Nokia Unlocker Tool. Make a code request and the program will unlock the device. If the method does not give any effect, then only a professional will help you.

Unlock Sony Ericsson

For this manufacturer, there are two methods for unlocking - through a cable and a special service cable. The second option will require the installation of SEMCtool_v8.4 or TMS 2.45. If you use a standard wire, then install WotanClient, but it is paid. For some types of smartphones, the DaVinci client is suitable.

Samsung Unlock

Smartphones of this brand also have the ability to lock with a code that is very easy to forget. If you find yourself in this situation, then install the Samsung @ home 9.41 program on your computer. She fixes the problem easily. The utility is very easy to use and therefore you can configure it without difficulty.

LG Unlock

This manufacturer is somewhat different from others. If your phone is locked, then you need special unlock codes to restore it. The difficulty lies in the fact that for each model they are different, so you just have to contact the repair shop.

How to unlock a sim?

To protect the information stored on the SIM card, a PIN code is used, which is requested when the device is turned on. If you enter it incorrectly three times, the phone will ask for a PUK code. It has 8 digits and is issued together with a SIM card. If you have forgotten your PIN code, but you have a PUK code, use it.

The most important thing is to understand what and why you are doing. Otherwise, you can break the gadget and then you have to spend money on repairs or a new device.
