How to unlock your phone via PC

If the screen of your phone is damaged, you will not be able to unlock it. If this is the case, you will also no longer be able to access your data. If you still want to rescue the contents of your phone, the way via the computer will help. To avoid this problem in the future, make sure to store important content on an external SD card.

1. If the display no longer responds to inputs, an external keyboard can help. For this, there are special keyboards that you can connect to the phone via USB.
2. In addition, the device must be "On-The-Go" capable and you need a USB OTG adapter.
3. If you have set an unlock pattern, you can apply this via the mouse after you have also connected your smartphone via OTG to the PC.
