The start screen presents separate choices for removing a screen lock and clearing Google account verification. iMyFone LockWiper (Android) runs on a Windows PC, where it guides the user through connecting a phone and following device-specific unlock steps.
Which screen locks can it remove?
The screen-lock mode covers PINs, passwords, patterns, fingerprints, and face recognition. The program checks the connected Android device and matches it with a device profile before proceeding. Prompts then guide the user through the removal steps for that model.
What happens when Google verification blocks setup?
A separate Google Lock mode addresses Factory Reset Protection (FRP), which can ask for the previously linked Google account during device setup. LockWiper is intended to remove that verification on supported devices; this operation wipes the device's data.
- Connect the phone to the computer by USB.
- Choose the relevant removal mode and follow the on-screen steps.
Can a Samsung screen lock be removed without erasing data?
For some Samsung models, the screen-lock workflow includes a data-preserving option. That capability does not apply to every device or unlock operation. The program also offers a factory-reset process for Android phones and tablets, which clears device data and settings.
