Applock is an application for our Android device useful to block the applications, documents, or images that we want through a security PIN or a pattern. Something very useful when you do not want people to access certain files that you consider very personal or applications that you do not want others to see.
Sometimes, we have so many passwords or unlocking patterns that we forget them. If this happens to us, there is a very simple way you can skip the blocking of AppLock on Android. You do not need to have your phone rooted or any other application downloaded, just follow the steps shown below:
