How to Bypass Samsung Lock Screen without Losing Data for Novice Users

Summary

We set a password on our Samsung Galaxy phones to avoid others access to the private data without permissions. You are allowed to set PIN/pattern/fingerprint as a password on modern Samsung devices. However, sometimes we forget the password and can't access our own Samsung phones.

Here are some free ways to bypass Samsung lock screen. Method 1 or Method 2 should be the first choice for most of you. Method 3 and Method 4 have their limits to unlock your Samsung phone. If all the above methods fail to unlock your phone, try the last method to go through a factory reset.
