How to disable applock in Android

Wondering how to unlock app lock without password in android phones? Is it possible to bypass the Applock folder-lock on apps without even knowing the password? Yes it is possible and here it is how. It is very annoying to see every app locked by Applock in your friend’s phone and you want to access it for some reason. If your friend is nearby then he may tell you the password but what if he isn’t and you really want to use the phone right now (may be for booking the last movie ticket)? In such cases you may find this trick to unlock app lock without password very useful.



How to Unlock Applock Protected Apps
So, how to unlock Applock? This is really easy and can be done in just seconds. There are two tricks that can be used here.

Trick 1:
Long press the Applock icon in the app drawer and uninstall it. Problem solved! Now since there is no Applock, no password is required and you can access any app or folder on the phone. You can also uninstall the Applock by going to settings>>apps>>applock>>uninstall. After your work is finished just reinstall the app.
Now what if you don’t want to uninstall the app? Read on.

Trick 2:
► Go to Settings>>Apps>>All apps
► Find the Applock app in the list
► Tap on Freeze or Force Stop
That’s all, now the Applock app will be stopped or freezed. That means it will not work for now. Now you can open any app on the android phone which was protected by Applock earlier. It will not ask for password now. Once your task is finished, you can tap the Applock icon in the app drawer or homescreen to open it. Now the Applock will move from freeze state to running state and work normally like earlier asking you for password. This way your friend will not even know that you unlocked app lock without even knowing the password.

Applock Advanced Protection
So now you know how to unlock app lock. But what if you don’t want to become victim of this. There are few measures here which will protect the Applock app from being opened without password.
► One way is to password lock your Settings app using Applock so that no one can uninstall or force stop it.
► Hide the Applock Icon, Open your Applock app. Go to Settings>>Settings Icon>>Check Hide Applock option. To unhide Go to Phone app and dial *#*#12345#*#*. It will open the Applock app.
► After installing the Applock app, you can make it a device administrator so that no one can uninstall or freeze it. Go to Settings>>Security>>Device Administrators, you should find applock option there. Give applock the administrative rights by checking the applock option.
