Forgot Kids Mode PIN on Samsung Galaxy Device

Forgot Kids Mode PIN on Samsung Galaxy Device

By Mitch Bartlett 98 Comments

If you have forgotten the PIN to get your Samsung Galaxy S, Tab, or other Galaxy device, you can follow these steps to get access to your phone back.

  1. Power down the phone by pressing and holding the “Power” button and selecting “Power Off“.
  2. With the device off, press and hold the “Power” key to turn the device on while holding the “Volume Down” button. The device should start in “Safe Mode“. The words “Safe Mode” should be shown in the lower-left corner of the screen once the device starts.
  3. Once in Safe Mode, go to “Settings” > “Applications” > “Manage Applications“.
  4. Choose “Kids Mode” from the list of apps, then select “Uninstall“. Select “Done” once the uninstall is complete.
  5. Press and hold the “Power” button, then choose “Restart“, and your phone should restart normally and will be removed from Kids Mode.

    Thank you thank you thank you!!

    I nearly lost it

    The trick is to hold down the volume down button a little longer while the phone restarts..(thus lifting your other finger from the restart button)

    Then:

    1) Settings
    2) Applicatoions
    3) Samsung kids
    4) force stop and uninstall

    Restart the phone again(without pressing any volume keys) and there you go!

    Thank you for the great info, I am soooo gratefull!!

    On my tablet the safe mode still opened in kids mode and could not get out of it. What worked for me is:
    1. Enter multiple time wrong pin to close kids mode
    2. Samsung account will recognize this and ask you to confirm Samsung account
    3. This allows you to reset the pin for kids mode.
    4. Enter the new pin and you are out of kids mode.

    Power off completely
    Press the bottom button and the power button for 20 seconds.

    Drag down the screen with your finger and press the “Settings symbol” it will be along the right hand side. It’s grey and small, look for it.

    Settings should pop up! Took a while for me, just keep trying if you don’t get it the first time.

    Go to
    1: “apps and notifications”
    2: select “Kids Launcher”
    3: select “force stop”
    4: scroll to the bottom of that same page and select “Advanced” there will be a drop down arrow
    5: select “home app” another one except the kids launcher.

    Finally resolved this! We didn’t even put a pin. Weird hope it helps!!!!

    August 5, 2020 at 7:57 pm

    Solved!!! Happened to me tonight. I found no help on internet and safemode didn’t work, out of pure frustration I kept entering 0. Repeatedly. Dont stoo when it checks your password. After 15, or 20 zeros password recovery came up with 3 options,
    Enterpasswoed
    Biometrics
    One time email verification
    I unlocked with my finger print, created a new kids mode password, then put that in again and unlocked it. Like I said it was dumb luck. But wtf it worked is all that matters

    Kids stuff has appeared on my Samsung Galaxy J5. I can’t seem to remove it. It is asking for a pin which I’m reluctant to enter. I’m unable to do anything at all on my phone.

    I tried the power off / volume down to restart in safe mode but it has gone straight back to all these kids things like Crocro’ Friends Village; Bobby’s Canvas and so on. I’m really worried as I don’t trust this at all.

  56. Diane says
