Forgot unlock pattern galaxy A9

StormEye — Sun, 19 Jul 2026 01:10:29 GMT

Is there any way to bypass the pattern unlock on a Galaxy A9 tablet?? 😬 I haven't used this thing in years and want to donate it but I need to be able to open it and cannot for the life of me remember what I set the pattern password to.

I'm ok with resetting it. How can I do that when it's locked though?

As long as you remember your Google password, you might be able to reset it with no issues.

How to reset device:

•Plug your tablet into a USB Host
•Force restart the tablet
•Quickly hold the volume up and power buttons
•Let go when you see the Samsung logo
•Navigate to Factory Data Reset and press "Confirm"
•Do the setup
•Enter your Google Password if you remember
•Reset the device through settings

If you are going to reset it, I recommend NOT logging back into your Google or Samsung accounts and, in fact, logging it out of both accounts. You should be able to force reset it the way @Chummy128 described.
