3 Ways to Unlock TCL Phone Screen Lock Without Password

Did you forget the screen passcode on your TCL phone? Screen locks are a vital security feature for TCL users, safeguarding digital privacy and keeping prying eyes at bay. However, forgetting your passcode can become a major roadblock to accessing your own data. Similarly, carrier locks often hinder users who wish to switch to local SIM cards while traveling abroad. To deal with both challenges, this guide provides comprehensive guides to unlock TCL phone screen lock and carrier lock.

Part 1. How to Unlock TCL Phone Without Password [Screen Lock]

Method 1: Unlock TCL Phone via Factory Reset

If you can't get past the lock screen, you will likely need to perform a Factory Reset. This will erase all data on the TCL phone (photos, contacts, etc.) unless they are backed up to the cloud.

Step 1

Turn off your TCL phone.

Enter Recovery Mode
Step 2

Press and hold the Power button and Volume Up button simultaneously until the TCL logo appears.

Start Factory Reset TCL Phone
Step 3

Use the volume buttons to navigate the Recovery Mode menu and select Wipe data/factory reset. Confirm with the Power button.

Reboot TCL Phone to Unlock Screen
Step 4

Once finished, select Reboot system now. After reboot, you can unlock your TCL phone without a password.

Note:

After resetting, you will likely need to log in with the original Google Account previously synced to the phone (Factory Reset Protection).

Method 2: Google Find My Device

If you have a Google account logged in and "Find My Device" enabled, you can reset to unlock your TCL phone remotely. Although this method has a fast and easy workflow to unlock your TCL phone, please note that for modern Android versions (Android 5.0 and higher), this method will erase all data on your phone to remove the lock screen.

For this to work, your TCL phone must:

Step 1

Access the Service

Use a computer or another smartphone, go to the google.com/android/find webpage.

Step 2

Select Your TCL Phone

If you have multiple devices, click on the TCL phone icon at the top left of the screen. The system will attempt to locate your device. Even if it can't find the exact location, you can still send the unlock command.

Step 3

Choose Erase Device

You will see some options like Play Sound, Secure Device, and Erase Device (sometimes called Factory Reset Device). Select Erase Device to unlock your TCL phone without a password remotely.

Part 2. How to Unlock TCL Phone with IMEI [Carrier Lock]

If your TCL phone is carrier-locked, you cannot switch to other carriers whenever you like. In this case, you are unable to take advantage of better deals offered by different carriers. Besides, you might fail to download some special apps for entertainment or work that haven't been verified on the current carrier's approved app store.

To deal with the tough nut, you should apply for a TCL phone unlock code to unlock the carrier lock. If you are the original owner of your TCL phone, you can apply to your TCL phone's carrier for a free TCL phone unlock code. If not, you can turn to paid online services.

Step 1

Confirm the carrier brand of your SIM card and go to its official website to check its unlock policy. Usually, your TCL phone should be paid off, and your phone number should be active on its network for a certain period.

Step 2

If your TCL phone is eligible to unlock the carrier lock, you can contact the current carrier and apply for a free TCL phone unlock code.

◆ AT&T IMEI Unlock: 800-288-2020

Step 3

Once connected, you should give them the necessary information, including the IMEI number, phone number, special account, etc. Then, you should wait patiently until they approve your application and send your TCL phone unlock code for free. Now, you can unlock the carrier lock on your TCL phone with the unlock code.
