Samsung Locked out

[oddtimer]

Hi I lost my Samsung S5 and i activated the lock out from Android Device Manager. After nearly six months i found the device, however now dont remember the PIN i set up to unlock the phone. Can someone assist me to unlock it, as factory reset is not the option for me cos of all the data that i have on the phone which i need to back up. Thanks.

Hi,

I'm afraid I can't see how I can help you. 

Have you tried every combination of PIN number. 

The security feature is there for a reason to protect the phone and data held within. 

I'm not saying your not the true owner. 

Maybe visit a Samsung Service Location and or contact Samsung Uk Support 

A Hard Reset maybe the only course of action but if you have not set up backing up the phone then the information in the phones storage is normally lost.
