Remove Forgotten Password, PIN or Pattern On Samsung Galaxy A05
To remove a forgotten Password, PIN or Pattern, you will need to perform a hard reset of your device. Follow these steps:

To do this, press and hold the power button and the volume down button simultaneously until the phone turns off. This is regardless of what happens on the screen.
Once the your A05 is off, press and hold the power button and the volume up button simultaneously to enter Recovery Mode. To initiate the hard reset, you will need to enter recovery mode.
In recovery mode, use the volume up and down buttons to navigate through the options. Highlight the Wipe Data/Factory Reset option. Once the option is highlighted, use the power button to confirm your selection.
The device will prompt you to confirm the action. Confirm again to proceed, by selecting Factory data reset. Wait for the process to complete. The hard reset process may take a while. Allow the device to complete the process.
This will be confirmed by the notification Data Wipe Complete at the bottom left corner of the screen.
After the hard reset is complete, your Samsung Galaxy A05 will be restored to its original factory settings. You’ll need to set up your device as if it were brand new.
Tap on the Use Google Account Instead option and enter your credentials. These credentials are the ones you use for the Google account that you initially used to set up the device. Now, you’ll be able to create a new password, PIN, or pattern.
DISCLAIMER: Factory resetting your Samsung Galaxy A05 will remove the password, PIN or pattern. However, you will still require the Gmail password you used to set up the tablet before.
