USB debugging on Android

I have an android device which is secured with a screen lock. But now I don't remember the password to unlock my phone.

By default, the USB mode is set to always ask and also the USB debugging is disabled.

I tried unlocking my phone using a third party software on pc but it requires the USB debugging to be turned on.

How can I turn on USB debugging in this scenario?

Solution

  • This is not possible precisely because of the security issues it would present if it was.

    The only way to access your phone is by doing a factory reset through the recovery mode, but be aware this wipes all of your data.
