How to Unlock a Samsung Phone With a Password

Samsung phones have a security sub-menu for locking the phone, setting up emergency numbers, enabling voice privacy and various other restrictions. A locked phone blocks all outgoing calls, except those to 911 and any user-defined emergency numbers. A Samsung phone can be locked manually, or set to lock automatically when turned on.

Instructions

1. Power on the phone.

2. Enter your password to unlock the phone.

3. Make a call to any number.

Tips & Warnings

• When the phone is locked, you can answer calls but not make them.

• You can change the password in the security menu. From the settings menu, select "Phone Settings" and then "Security." The text "Enter Code" will appear on the display. Enter a four digit password. If you select "Lock Phone" and press "Lock," the phone will lock immediately. If you press "Unlock," the locking is over-ridden and the phone will remain unlocked. Selecting "On Power Up" makes the phone lock the next time you power your phone.

• If your phone is locked but you have not set a password, the default code is the last four digits of your phone number.
