Solved: Lost Pin number - Samsung Community

Bluenose1940 · ‎07-31-2023

I seem to be locked out of my Galaxy S3 tablet because I can't remember the pin number.

I was absolutely convinced that I did remember it but maybe I have changed it and have forgotten.

Does anyone have any idea as to how I can overcome this problem please?

Many thanks.

Wow! that sounds like a brilliant idea robXbalboa, I will make sure that I've got Find my device turned on in future.

I actually did a hard reset and have got it all going again now. A bit fiddley at 82 though but I got there in the end.

Thanks to all who replied. Much appreciated.

if the tablet is registered with Samsung.com then you can log into, using your Samsung. Com name and password, findmymobile.samsung.com and change the PIN or unlock the tablet

S3 tab have reactivation lock. But you can remotely unlock it IF you have Samsung find my device turned on.
Go into Samsung account on different device. Choose Tab s3 and hit remote unlock. It's a life saver

Remote unlock is a must have. Glad you got it working. Also when you turn on findmydevice. It will stop anyone from stealing your device and resetting it. It won't be ressetable without the Samsung account login.
It's a great feature. 👍
