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.
- Power down the phone by pressing and holding the “Power” button and selecting “Power Off“.
- 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.
- Once in Safe Mode, go to “Settings” > “Applications” > “Manage Applications“.
- Choose “Kids Mode” from the list of apps, then select “Uninstall“. Select “Done” once the uninstall is complete.
- Press and hold the “Power” button, then choose “Restart“, and your phone should restart normally and will be removed from Kids Mode.
This absolutely saved my Tab as it worked perfectly well for me.
Thank you so much
Please I can’t find the safe mode on the phone please
I’m hoping you’ve figured this out already, but my daughter had the same problem today. After some various Google searching, I found that you have to shut the Galaxy off completely. Then start it up and hold down the ‘down’ volume button until the swipe screen. Swipe and you should be in Safe Mode, and it will say it in the bottom left corner if you are. Once there, go to Settings –> Application Manager, and uninstall the Kids Mode app with extreme prejudice.
I tried following the instructions. The Safe Mode option didn’t show up. Please send new PIN.
rubbish don’t know how so send my feedback somehow like
dont understand and i am still stuck
The safe mode appears on the screen but doesn’t allow me to go or show settings. Please help me get this thing out. Goodness.
Elani, thanks so much. You are a life saver.

Hello ! I need help to get out of kids mode.Am using Tablet S .Have followed instructions on how to enable safe mode .Safe mode appears at the bottom left corner but doesn’t give an option of the settings .
I’m stuck in kids mode and it’s not working. I don’t remember pin, even I use always the same one.
Can you somehow send me a new pin or what should I do. Also I can’t connect that tab to internet and do anything with it. Please help meeee :/
I am sure this can be stressful, kindly shutdown and start your phone six times, from the forth time, it will ask you to turn on safe mode.
Turn on the safe mode and follow the instruction that has been described.
1) Settings
2) Applications
3) Remove first the kid mode and any other Samsung kids app
—- force stop and uninstall
Can you please send pin stuck in safe mode

Send a temporary PIN
This only worked on my tablet by continued pressure on both power and volume button the ENTIRE time I was removing kids mode. So if you have a cheaper or older tablet, hopefully this is helpful. Every time I did anything else, it powered off and I had to restart the process.

Cordially.
I’ve tried all these
Safe mode appears on the bottom left corner, but doesn’t not take me to the next step for me to able to uninstall, any other options
I have tried this step it shows safe mode but the settings options didn’t appear.
thank you Carol!! holding down the power button while the phone restarts and then releasing when you see the Samsung logo appear and holding down the volume until the phone restarts into safe mode.. this worked beautifully you saved the day Carol thank you so much!
Struggling with kids mode in Samsung Tab. Need help . Safe mode didn’t help. Multiple pin also of no use. Another option
I was able to get into safe mode using the steps below, however, not able to open settings, it still prompts to use the a kids mode PIN:
Turn the device off.
Press and hold the Power key.
When Samsung appears on the screen, release the Power key.
Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.
Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
Release the Volume down key when you see Safe Mode on the device.
Uninstall apps that are causing a problem.
I tried to recover kids home pin with the power down guide but the phone is no longer powering off. What do I do.
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!!
Try 1234
thanks for it
love from India

Pls my Samsung A51 is lock on the kids zone,forgot the password and I can’t power it down,pls help
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.
Samsung Kids app
Have a samsung tablet
Stuck at enter pin which its not taking wont let me access parental mode .
What an ache ! emailed samsung for a temporary pin ;not reply .

How unlock kidszone
It really helped me to sort out my wife’s phone she was exited and my studys here made me the Man of the house. Thanks. Hon. Dr. Sakah Eze Ahanonu
Very helpful. It worked on Samsung A51
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!!!!
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.
Try using the Phone provider SIM card code. ( code you use when you power up or restart your phone)
Thank you.Thank you so much.I was really tensed.Thanks for your help?
once you unlock the tablet it goes straight to the Samsung kids app the safe mode is on the bottom left corner, but not able to do anything else??? i do not know what to do? please help
