The latest security defect in Samsung Galaxy S III allows you to completely bypass its lock screen:Steps

,

A report from ZDNet, the method to bypass the lock screen remains quite similar to the one on Galaxy Note II, but with few added steps. After bypassing the passcode and instead of launching an application on the home screen, if you lock the screen and then unlock it again, the glitch would give you complete access to the device.

The method is tested out on several Galaxy S III smartphones, which were running on Android 4.1.2 and the problem is related to the custom software by Samsung.

Earlier, we have seen similar problem in Apple devices running on iOS 6.1 , which allowed users to bypass its lock screen.

Steps to Bypass passcode of Samsung S III :


  1. On the code entry screen, press Emergency Call
  2. Press Emergency Contacts
  3. Press the Home button once
  4. After pressing the Home button, press the power button quickly
  5. If successful, pressing the power button again will bring you to the S3's home screen.
