Forgot pattern on Samsung Galaxy tab

[sekito]

I have a Galaxy Tab A8 which is on my Samsung account. The admin on that tablet and there is another user and I have forgotten my login pattern.

How can I unlock the tablet using my Samsung account from my phone?

Google "how to unlock forgotten samsung pattern" other searches will give you more options including more on logging into your samsung account in a browser

https://www.samsung.com/ca/support/mobile-devices/what-can-you-do-if-you-forgot-the-pin-pattern-or-p... it seems to suggest there is actually no way to do anything using the Samsung account, other than to do a hard reset which I do not want to do.

There is the Samsung find which only allows you to add an extra lock or to erase data and not to unlock the device.

Do all devices have a pin as well because I only see the option to use a pattern and nothing else

N I am going to let you do your own searching. I have seen solutions involving the Samsung account. Indeed, when I saw a negative answer in the search option top right of the Community page I was appalled. But go there too in case you find other answers. In Google play around with other key words other than always including Samsung.

As far as I know all devices allow a pin az an alternate. They also have puk codes which can be used to unlock your phone. So go to your original box or paperwork and see if you can find your puk code. It should be an 8 digit number found either the sim or the additional sim packaging.

I am assuming when, not if, you get back in set up your automatic backup - Settings, Backup, use Google and Samsung backups. This will allow you to Restore your data depending on what backup settings you use. I thinj of as once set correctly it is automatic.

Also I found a reference to obtaining it from your isp.

If you aren't admin, unfortunately, you can't unlock your account with any other method. Seems annoying, but it is the case.

I'm the admin of the device. I didn't see the unlock options in all the solutions

Unfortunately, it looks like past versions of Smartthingsfind.samsung.com allow you to unlock the device remotely, but Samsung has removed the feature.
