There are several automated solutions available on the market for unlocking Android devices. Commercial tools, such as Cellebrite and XRY, are capable of bypassing the screen locks, but most of them require USB debugging to be enabled. We will now examine how to unlock an Android device using the UFED user lock code recovery tool. This tool only works on those devices that support USB OTG. This process also requires a UFED camera, Cable No. 500-Bypass lock, and Cable No. 501-Bypass lock. Once the tool is installed on the workstation, go through the following steps to unlock the Android device:

1. Run the tool on the workstation and press 1, as shown in the following screenshot:

2. Now, connect side A of Cable No. 500-Bypasslock to a USB port of the workstation. Also, connect side B of Cable No. 500-Bypasslock to Cable No. 501- OTG and then connect the other end to the device.
3. Once connected, the tool prompts you to select the recovery profile. Select [1] Manually select the recovery profile..
4. Now, select the lock type used on the device and the recovery profile, and proceed by following the instructions on the screen.

5. After this, make sure that the keypad appears on the device screen and that it's ready to accept the PIN code.
6. Close any message windows that may appear. Press 1 and hit Enter. Now, make five incorrect login attempts by entering random input, and click on Forgot pattern at the bottom of the device.
7. Follow the instructions on the screen, wait for the camera window to open, and then click on the camera window.
8. Use the cursor to select any nonempty area on the device's screen by placing the green square over it—for example, select any number on the screen. This is used by the tool to detect whether the device is unlocked. Press Enter to start the process.
9. The tool will try a number of combinations to unlock the device. Once unlocked, it will prompt you to end the process.

We will now learn about the Android Device Manager and how to unlock a device using it.
