Bypassing Android Lock Screen - Aut•ono•mous - 06-25-2014

Hey all,

I have an LG Optimus P950, my mom's husbands old phone, & now she wants to use it because her phone's keyboard is dead, but the problem is there is no recovery mode or hard reset key combos.

I know I just recently saw a tutorial on here for bypassing the lock screen via ADB, but I can't find it now that I need it.

If anyone knows how to do this, or where the tutorial is, you'd be helping me a lot!

I'm leaving my moms in the next 2 hours, so hopefully someone can help me before that. Smile

Thanks a lot in advance, guys.
