Bank executive Jake lost his Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge smartphone while he was travelling to work. Though he did have important personal and official data on it, he is more upset about losing his expensive smartphone. His smartphone was had a device security and was locked with his fingerprint and he knows that nobody can unlock it without the fingerprint, backup passcode or his Google password. So if anyone has the device, it is almost useless for him to gain access to any content. Rest is the hardware, which is almost useless because even if the person who found the phone tries to reset the device using the recovery mode, he still cannot use the smartphone without the previously used Gmail account. Samsung Galaxy smartphones will not reset itself completely and will only allow to be reconfigured when the original Gmail account is set up. If the person knows the password, he can reset the device entirely and use the phone with a new account.
Yes it’s true. The new user cannot use the phone without the original user’s Google account details. If he has done this using the recovery mode, he cannot get anything in hand, not even the data. Indirectly, he is left with a dumb smartphone, unless he uses it for its parts. Well, though Jake is partially right, he has already lost the expensive smartphone to the new finder. The new user has managed to get past the device security and blank out the previous Google settings and use the device for himself with his own account. However, he does not have access to the Jake’s data.
Well, the above story is not a real-life incident, but the matter is true. An Android developer has demonstrated how one can easily bypass the device reset security with a simple OTG pen drive or cable. Check out the video which shows you how you can regain access to your smartphone if you are locked out of the fingerprint security, and don’t remember your Google password.
