Forgot Kids Mode PIN on Samsung Galaxy Device

By Mitch Bartlett 88 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“.Ā 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.

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

    Drag down the screen with your finger and press the ā€œSettings symbolā€ it will be along the right hand side. Itā€™s grey and small, look for it.

    Settings should pop up! Took a while for me, just keep trying if you donā€™t get it the first time.

    Go to
    1: ā€œapps and notificationsā€
    2: select ā€œKids Launcherā€
    3: select ā€œforce stopā€
    4: scroll to the bottom of that same page and select ā€œAdvancedā€ there will be a drop down arrow
    5: select ā€œhome appā€ another one except the kids launcher.

    Finally resolved this! We didnā€™t even put a pin. Weird hope it helps!!!!

    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

  45. Jacqueline Hill says

    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.

  48. leila raggad says

    BTW, in newer software as in my A30 (2019), type in “Kids Home” after activating safe mode and going into settings. Then select Kids Home and uninstall it,,, then restart after the uninstallation is complete.
