One of the top reason to set up lock in your phone is to keep strangers and friends away from checking private messages, galleries and private pictures. Furthermore, we put security passwords in our phone so that even it get stolen then they won't be able to open our phone and misuse it. But one of the disastrous moment comes in our life when we forget our own Android phone's lock pattern or password or Pin code. This may happen to any of us if we change our phone security too often and forget the new one or if some friend of yours plays a prank on you to make you struggle with it.
