Reset Smartphone after Locking with Applock app.

In my previous post, I had explained about Android Settings locked with AppLock password (How to Uninstall app?). But sometimes it happens that these Apps are not installed on your smartphone. So you can’t remove the AppLock application (eg: Domobile Applock, 360 Security AppLock, CM Security AppLock, Avast AppLocker etc).

The main problem is that when we install an Applock application, Many times we also lock important applications such as Google Play Store and Smartphone Settings. And when we forgot the password then we can’t use our android smartphone. I have also written several posts about how to unlock apps when you have locked them with Applock:

• Lock & Unlock apps with Avast Mobile Security AppLock.
• 5 Ways to unlock apps from AppLock.
• DoMobile AppLock: How to lock & Unlock android apps.
• How to unlock an app from 360 Security Applock.

• How to clear default application in Android Smartphone.

• How to completely Uninstall an app on android.

If you have not locked Google Play Store, Android Settings then you can read above posts to unlock apps from applock. And if you have locked these then only last option available to you that is Reset (Format) your smartphone to factory defaults.
