You can unlock Galaxy S20 in Samsung Find My Mobile if you forget the password or PIN for Galaxy S20, S20+, or S20 Ultra, or any other Samsung Galaxy phones.
This Galaxy S20 how-to guide explains the requirements for you to unlock Galaxy S20 without a password or PIN, steps to unlock Galaxy S20 if you forget the password or PIN using Samsung FGind My Mobile, and how to remotely lock and secure your phone with Samsung Find My Mobile services.
In most regions, you can unlock Samsung Galaxy phones if you forget the password or PIN using Samsung Find My Mobile service. So, this guide applies to most Samsung Galaxy phones, including Galaxy S20, S10, Note 10, S9, Note 9, S8, Note 8, and other popular Samsung Galaxy phones.
Can I reset the password (unlock Galaxy S20) on Google Find My Device (Android Device Manager) if I forget the password or PIN on Galaxy S20?
No, Google removed the remote unlock and password reset features from Android Device Manager (now, Find My Device) in 2016.
So, if you forget the password or PIN on Galaxy S20, Google Find My Device can only help you erase (reset) the phone, i.e., factory data reset (FDR).
Google Find My Device will never unlock Galaxy S20, or reset the password/PIN. It can lock the phone (if it is unlocked) remotely. Some users confuse the “lock” and “unlock” feature in Google Find My Device.
Please note, the factory data reset will erase all of your data and settings. This is only useful if your phone is lost or stolen.
If your Galaxy S20 is still in your hands and you only forget the password or PIN for the lock screen, then probably it is not necessary to reset the phone.
Currently, for Galaxy S20 and other Samsung Galaxy phones, only Samsung Find My Mobile can unlock Galaxy S20 without a password or PIN.
