3 Ways to Unlock Sony Xperia Locked / Forgot Pattern (All Type)
The thing that is often experienced by smartphone users is forgetting their password or lock pattern on their cellphone. This is usually because we often change patterns or lock our cellphones, which results in sometimes forgetting to open them again. Sony Xperia users are no exception, many of these cellphone users also experience it.
Indeed, this is quite common even for most people, especially if the pattern made is complex and long enough to make us forget. There are various reasons, whether it’s for security or not wanting to be opened by others.
Especially for those who use passwords, the use of lowercase and uppercase letters is clearly different. Even though we have entered the right word, but in spelling our letters only one letter, then the lock will not open.
Somehow you can forget your own cellphone password or pattern, but for sure this way to unlock a locked Sony Xperia cellphone will help you.
But before that, make sure the Sony cellphone is your own, not someone else’s. And use this method only for good.

How to Unlock a Locked Sony Xperia Phone in 2 Easy Steps
1. Using Android Device Manager
Before using this method, you must know the username and password of the Google account that is linked on the cellphone. If you do not know the username and password, you cannot open a locked cellphone.
The next requirement to run this method is that you have an internet connection, the ‘Find My Device’ service is turned on, and have access to a computer or other mobile device.
How to use it is as follows:
- Open the Android Find My Device site in your browser using a mobile device or PC.
- Enter the Google account that is connected to the Sony HP.
- Then the folder will show you where your cellphone is located, along with a selection of options: Play Sound, Secure Sound and Erase Device.
- Select the ‘Erase Device’ option, then various saved settings will be deleted as well as passwords that prevent you from logging in because you forgot them.
By using a locked Sony Xperia phone unlock method, all data on the user in the internal memory will be deleted including downloaded applications, photos, device settings.
If the cellphone has memory, you can remove it first so that photos, videos, documents, music and other stored data are not lost.

2. Android Debug Bridge
There are still many ways that can be done if the above method for your problem has not been resolved. The next way is the Android Debug Bridge which you can do.
But with a note, make sure you’ve enabled USB Debugging on your Sony Xperia and have also been connected to a PC/Laptop via ADB. Maybe this does not sound foreign to those who like to hack Android such as rooting, custom roms and other modifications.
- First connect the Sony Xperia using a data cable to the computer.
- Open a command prompt window in the ADB installation folder.
- Then type the following command “adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key and press the Enter key on the keyboard.
- The next step is to reboot your phone.
- And OK, now your cellphone is not locked anymore.
Before doing the above method, make sure you first look for the ADB Driver and Installer that matches the version of Sony Xperia you have. Because each driver is certainly different from the existing phone version.
3. Using Factory Reset
To open a locked cellphone again, you must dare to delete all data stored on the cellphone. This is the easiest way and is 100% guaranteed to work.
But how to do a factory reset if we just can’t open the main screen or even the settings menu on the phone?
For that, follow these steps:
- Turn off your phone.
- After the cellphone is off, press the volume down button and the power button until the cellphone screen shows an ‘other’ display.
- Move the cursor using the volume keys.
- Scroll the page and look for ‘Factory Reset’.
- After that click on the option using the power button.
- Select ‘Yes’ and wait until the Sony HP resets perfectly.
After the cellphone is reset, your cellphone can be opened again without the need to enter a password.
The two methods above are very easy to do. It’s just that if you are not willing to delete all data on your cellphone, it must be difficult.
Actually there are other options, but this method does not necessarily work.
Without the need to delete data, here are some ways to unlock a locked Sony cellphone:
- Enter wrong password or pattern 5 times
- After that, you can click ‘Forgot Password’
- Next you are asked to enter your email address and password
- Click ‘Login’, then change the pattern or password. It’s even better if you disable the password for a while
- Now your cellphone can be opened again without entering a password and without deleting existing data

If using a pattern lock is a must to activate and you are the type of person who forgets, you should just use a pattern that is easy to remember such as forming the number 7 or forming the letter L, both of which are quite easy to remember. Alternatively, you can write it down in a book so that if you forget you can see the note.
