UNLOCKING APP-LOCK PATTERN OR PASSWORD

Is it possible to bypass the Applock folder-lock on apps without even knowing the password? Yes it is possible and here it is how. It is very annoying to see every app locked by Applock in your friend’s phone and you want to access it for some reason. If your friend is nearby then he may tell you the password but what if he isn’t and you really want to use the phone right now (may be for booking the last movie ticket)? In such cases you may find this trick to unlock app lock without password very useful.

So Here are Some Tricks that Would help you in Unlocking those Apps

Method 1:-

Long press the App-lock icon in the app drawer and uninstall it. Problem solved!!!

Now since there is no App-lock, no password is required and you can access any app or folder on the phone. You can also uninstall the App-lock by going to settings>>apps>>applock>>uninstall. After your work is finished just reinstall the app.

Method 2 :-

Go to Settings>>Apps>>All apps
Find the Applock app in the list
Tap on Force Stop

That’s all, now the App-lock app will be stopped . That means it will not work for now. Now you can open any app on the phone which was protected by App-lock earlier. It will not ask for any password now. Once your task is finished, you can tap the App-lock icon in the app drawer or home screen to open it. Now the App-lock will move from stop state to running state and work normally like earlier asking you for password. This way your friend will not even know that you unlocked app lock without even knowing the password.

Applock Advanced Protection

So now you know how to unlock app lock. But what if you don’t want to become victim of this. There are few measures here which will protect the Applock app from being opened without password.

1.Password Protect Settings App

One way is to password lock your Settings app using Applock so that no one can uninstall or force stop it. But still it is not very effective and fully protected. No one can force stop Applock by going to Settings app. But it can be easily uninstalled from the phone by long pressing Applock icon in app drawer and tapping uninstall. So it’s half protection.

2.Hide the Applock Icon

Going a step further. You can hide the applock icon from the homescreen so that no one can uninstall it from app drawer by long pressing. Open your Applock app. Go to Settings>>Settings Icon>>Check Hide Applock option. Now Applock icon will disappear from home screen and no one can see it. Now we are fully secured.
If you want to unhide Applock then you can do either of these:

Go to Phone app and dial *#*#12345#*#*. It will open the Applock app.
Go to Browser (or any other like Chrome) and open domobile.com/applock. For this to work, you need active internet connection.

3.Making Applock Device Administrator

After installing the Applock app, you can make it a device administrator so that no one can uninstall or freeze it. Go to Settings>>Security>>Device Administrators, you should find applock option there. Give applock the administrative rights by checking the applock option.

4.Using Applock Advanced Protection App

There is also an inbuilt option in Applock which when enabled prevents other from uninstalling or freezing the Applock. Go to Applock>>Settings>>Settings Icon>>Check Advanced Protection. This will download a sideapp for Applock called Advanced Protection which prevents other from uninstalling or freezing the app. This app works in similar way as above by getting the administrative rights on your phone and controlling system functions like installing, uninstalling etc.
