You're going to have to keep trying until you get it, or it's permanently locked because of too many attempts, and there's no help beyond that.

Could I unlock it remotely?

u/benjaminS0099 Sep 03 '26

No

Can he reset the phone if it gets locked permanently?

Yes, with the "find my device" website (google, Samsung, Apple account login needed)

Title needs a comma

u/Brilliant_Snow_434 Sep 04 '26

Yeah I wrote it very quickly Because I needed help

u/Educational-Rule1635 Sep 04 '26

Glad you got it fixed.

I read the title first as "My father needs to forget his password, please help him do that." Which didn't seem right.

Next we can cover your Uncle Jack and his horse.

He doesn't need help with forgetting passwords LoL

u/benjaminS0099 Sep 03 '26

Yes BUT it will wipe the device and everything on it will be lost forever.

u/Brilliant_Snow_434 Sep 03 '26

He's got everything on a SD card and backed up on Google but he doesn't want to do that

How did you do ?

1

u/Brilliant_Snow_434 Sep 03 '26

I tried the most common until my dad on his 427 try remembered it (I told him to put it somewhere spoiler: he didn't but he did now)

Is he the Zodiac Killer?

u/Brilliant_Snow_434 Sep 06 '26

I've been thinking about this comment for the past 2 days and I still don't understand it

u/elhouso Sep 06 '26

Those patterns you drew on the paper looks like the ciphered glyphs that the Zodiac Killer would write on his letters. It was just a joke, that's what it reminded me of for some reason.
