THE TRICK
If you also do not remember which email account has been configured with your mobile or tablet you can use a trick that was discovered almost by chance by a user and that, in many cases, has saved the information of many computers.
For it to work you need to have another cell phone, at least for a moment. What you should do is call the blocked mobile number (hopefully your Tablet can also accept a call if you have a SIM card).
The blocked mobile will allow you to answer the call and what you should do now is access the phone or tablet menu without hanging the caller. The idea is that you enter the configuration of the equipment and you deactivate the lock mode by pattern.
Ready, your phone or tablet is active again for use.
The resource works with almost all brands of devices but not with all operating systems, usually only accessible with Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Good news for many that will only make you spend a little balance with the mobile phone.
But if this does not work either?
AN EXTRA REMEDY
If neither of the first two points were useful for you, you can use a tool that, from now on, you should already have on your computer.
This is "Androiddevice manager", an application available in the Play Store that not only allows you to avoid these terrible moments of anguish when you do not have the unlocking key, but also protects your information in case your mobile is stolen and you need to remotely block your device
To make use of this resource you must have previously installed this App on your mobile and on a Tablet or other cell phone. That is, have two connection points. In this way, each of these points will serve to remotely enter the other in case of emergency.
After installing the application in two points and having configured an email account in them (to synchronize them) you will have ready this emergency resource.
When your phone is blocked because you do not remember your unlock pattern, you only have to use the remote (Tablet or cellular) point not blocked to access the other and change your password. Of course, for this it is necessary that both teams have an internet connection, either through data or WIFI.
And that's it, your team is operational again.
In the network, the experts of Todo Android are those who have the best step-by-step tutorial for this. Really useful:
The best thing about this application is that it also allows you to locate your mobile phone in case of loss in your home. Or you can remotely lock your data if your computer is stolen.
AVOID COUNTERS
Unfortunately, when none of these methods works, the final option for many is to make an "Hardreset", that is, a total format of the mobile that also eliminates all your data, files, contacts, downloaded applications, among other information from your computer. And it has happened to many.
Worst of all is that many people end up actually losing all their information when their mobile is in danger.
But can this be avoided?
Yes. Ideally, you should have a program that allows you to have all your data in a cloud, so if you reset your phone to factory settings, do not lose your contacts or more important files.
In the case of BlackBerry, the management service of this brand allows you to automatically migrate your contacts to a new team. In this way, you will not lose anything.
In the iOS operating system, the ideal option is the iCloud, which allows you to have a backup of your mobile. In it you will save all the vital information of your team (Up to 5 GB, but you have the possibility of expanding the space with a payment plan of 50 GB or 200 GB), and transport it to another then calmly as it remains secure in a cloud. That's why it's vital that this option is enabled.
Finally, and in the case of Android, do not forget to access the configuration and activate the backup service. So, your data will go directly to Google Drive that gives you up to 15 GB to save your files, as well as your applications. In case of loss or reset of the equipment, when you enter your email account again to the device, your programs and basic information will return to your device again.
Of course, there are other resources such as Dropbox, and its automatic "Camera loads" function, which will allow you to save other data in the cloud. It is only a matter of making use of these resources that will always keep what you love most safe.
