Is it possible to bypass the Applock folder-lock on apps without even
knowing the password? Yes it is possible and here it is how. It is very
annoying to see every app locked by Applock in your friend’s phone and
you want to access it for some reason. If your friend is nearby then he
may tell you the password but what if he isn’t and you really want to
use the phone right now (may be for booking the last movie ticket)? In
such cases you may find this trick to unlock app lock without password
very useful.
So Here are Some Tricks that Would help you in Unlocking those Apps
Method 1:-
Long press the App-lock icon in the app drawer and uninstall it. Problem
solved!!!
Now since there is no App-lock, no password is required and you
can access any app or folder on the phone. You can also uninstall the
App-lock by going to
settings>>apps>>applock>>uninstall. After your work is
finished just reinstall the app.
Method 2 :-
- Go to Settings>>Apps>>All apps
- Find the Applock app in the list
- Tap on Force Stop
That’s all, now the App-lock app will be stopped . That
means it will not work for now. Now you can open any app on the
phone which was protected by App-lock earlier. It will not ask for any
password now. Once your task is finished, you can tap the App-lock icon
in the app drawer or home screen to open it. Now the App-lock will move
from stop state to running state and work normally like earlier asking
you for password. This way your friend will not even know that you
unlocked app lock without even knowing the password.
Applock Advanced Protection
So now you know how to
unlock app lock. But what if you don’t want to become victim of this.
There are few measures here which will protect the Applock app from
being opened without password.
1.Password Protect Settings App
One way is to password lock your Settings app using Applock so that
no one can uninstall or force stop it. But still it is not very
effective and fully protected. No one can force stop Applock by going to
Settings app. But it can be easily uninstalled from the phone by long
pressing Applock icon in app drawer and tapping uninstall. So it’s half
protection.
2.Hide the Applock Icon
Going a step further. You can hide the applock icon from the
homescreen so that no one can uninstall it from app drawer by long
pressing. Open your Applock app. Go to Settings>>Settings
Icon>>Check Hide Applock option. Now Applock icon will disappear
from home screen and no one can see it. Now we are fully secured.
If you want to
unhide Applock then you can do either of these:
- Go to Phone app and dial *#*#12345#*#*. It will open the Applock app.
- Go to Browser (or any other like Chrome) and open domobile.com/applock. For this to work, you need active internet connection.
3.Making Applock Device Administrator
After installing the Applock app, you can make it a device
administrator so that no one can uninstall or freeze it. Go to
Settings>>Security>>Device Administrators, you should find
applock option there. Give applock the administrative rights by checking
the applock option.
4.Using Applock Advanced Protection App
There is also an inbuilt option in Applock which when enabled
prevents other from uninstalling or freezing the Applock. Go to
Applock>>Settings>>Settings Icon>>Check Advanced
Protection. This will download a sideapp for Applock called Advanced
Protection which prevents other from uninstalling or freezing the app.
This app works in similar way as above by getting the administrative
rights on your phone and controlling system functions like installing,
uninstalling etc.
