How to unlock a phone without keypad?

[Android Central Question]

I disabled my keypad from my phone by mistake with a password in it and now I'm not able to unlock without keypad..

I've heard tell that you may be able to connect a USB keyboard.

What device do you have? Samsung has a great feature called Find My Mobile, which, if you had the foresight to set-up can unlock your device remotely. It's something you have to agree to and verify so not easily forgotten but on the off chance you did. Log-in at findmymobile.samsung.com

Welcome to Android Central! Do you mean you disabled your keyboard app? Any reason why you did that, or was it an accident?

This reminds me of the time a friend and I offered a couple of girls a ride and they wanted to be dropped off around the corner from one's parent's house and the sheriff rolled up on us while we were getting their numbers. He asked what was going on and we explained, just dropping them off, and then he asked if either of them were runaways, and I looked him straight in the eye and said, if they were do you think we would really tell you? He laughed and left and we finished up. So mustang7757, if it wasn't do you really think they would tell you? Hahaha. Of course they would, cause anyone silly enough to steal a cellphone these days and think they could get it to work, would be silly enough to say, no it ain't mine. Hahaha.

Hey, B. Diddy that was 30 years ago, the statute of limitations has run out on that and no one can prove a thing. It is funny tho watching your boys raid my neighbor's places. This is what the second time you've sent SWAT to my "location"? Better luck next time. Now I just need to crack someone else's WiFi password....

Actually we were all taking a chance, them getting into the car with us, us picking them up... It was the 80's, the world wasn't crazy yet. Hahaha

That's ok, your neighbors were probably doing bad stuff too.

if you are able to access any account you used with that device,reset the device and try to enable find my phone from another Android /Windows option.
You will be able to remove the lock screen i guess.

Google's Find My Device can only set a password on devices that don't have one set.

Samsung's Find My Mobile can unlock devices, but only if you've gone into the settings on the device and selected it that option. Then you have to allow permission for it by agreeing to the TOS and submitting you unlock code, on the device. It cannot be activated posthumously if it wasn't done before the need arose.

And you need to be signed into your Samsung account on the phone for it to work with findmysamsung device
