Unlock Samsung Galaxy SII LTE

Playing around your Android device is a very good time pass and it can be very problematic if some kid starts playing with your expansive Android phone and break it or lock it. Same situation happens to me and one of my recent visitors locked my Samsung Galaxy SII LTE phone. Getting phone locked is a very common problem and even after entering the wrong pattern or wrong password, you can unlock your phone, if you have tried only a few times.

Recently my Samsung Galaxy SII phone (Model no SGH-I727R LTE) was pattern locked by one of the visitor’s kid and really it was very hard to unlock it. I really tried very hard to unlock it but failed without losing my phone data. After searching lot in the internet for my model, I got few articles and videos but was not much helpful.
