How do I unlock a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra if I forgot the lock screen password?
Answer
Try Forgot PIN/password on the lock screen if shown. If that fails, erase the phone with Find My Mobile on Samsung’s website, or use recovery-mode factory reset. After erase, you still need the Google or Samsung account that was on the phone.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- Factory reset deletes photos, messages, and apps not already backed up.
- Paid unlock services are often scams.
Follow these steps
Use Forgot on the lock screen
If the lock screen shows Forgot PIN, password, or pattern, tap it and complete Samsung or Google verification. Stop guessing unrelated codes.
You should see: You unlock, or Forgot is unavailable and you move to erase.
Erase with Find My Mobile
On a computer, open Samsung’s official Find My Mobile site, sign in with the Samsung account on the phone, select the S25 Ultra, and choose Erase if the device is online.
You should see: Remote erase starts, or the phone shows offline.
Factory reset in recovery
If remote erase is not possible, power off, then use your model’s key combination to open Android recovery. Highlight Wipe data/factory reset with the volume keys and confirm with Power.
You should see: The phone erases and reboots to initial setup.
Complete factory reset protection
Sign in with the same Google account that was previously on the phone, then set a new lock screen credential.
You should see: Setup finishes and the phone is usable again.

Extra tips
What to look for: Repeated wrong-password lockouts on a Galaxy S25 Ultra and no working PIN, pattern, or biometric unlock.
Before you change anything: Confirm you know the Google account on the phone. Backups already on the device may be erased. Use only official Samsung Find My Mobile pages. Never pay a stranger for an unlock code.
