Cracked Screen So Can't Unlock My Pin Number - Remote Change Possible?

[MDW01]

Hi Guys, today I managed to drop my phone, cracking my screen, and this now means I cannot type in my PIN number to access my phone. Also means I cannot back up all my info before sending the phone for repair/replacement.

I read it is possible to bypass/change the screenlock PIN, however I've not worked out how.

Can anyone assist on this???

Thank you.

If it's just the touch that's not working then you can use a USB OTG cable and a USB mouse to take control of the touch function

Wow, that's awesome - thank you!  I will try this.  Just "plug and play"???

Plug and play and you are looking for a black type arrow on the screen just like that on a Pc screen

Excellent!  I will attempt tomorrow and report back to you.  Thanks again.
