This will reset your phone wiping all your files and data including the saved passcodes. Here’s how to remove forgotten pattern, PIN, or password in Samsung Galaxy A23.

First, make sure your phone is connected to a power source. Once that’s done, press the power button + volume down button until the phone is off.
