ADB creates a bridge between the PC and your device which can then be used to unlock the device. Here’s how to use this bridge.
Step 1: Download Android SDK package on your PC. You can download it here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. Extract the ZIP file on your PC.
Step 2: Download the necessary drivers for your device. The USB drivers for your device can be found on the manufacturer’s website.
Step 3: Launch Command Prompt on your PC and change the location of the ADB file. Type in the following into Command Prompt; cd C:/android/platform-tools
Step 4: Connect the device to your PC using USB cables. Enter the command “ adb device” (without the quotation marks). If your phone is recognized, you will see numbers in the Command Prompt message.
Step 5: Type in the following two commands. You will need to type in the second one immediately after the first. Replace 1234 with your password.
adb shell input text 1234
Shell input keyevent 66
Step 6: Your phone will now be unlocked and you can proceed to back-up its contents.
Part 4: Using a USB Mouse and the On the Go Adapter
This is a great solution if you don’t have USB debugging enabled on your device. You will need your device, an OTG adapter and a USB mouse. It involves connecting the device to the USB mouse using the OTG adapter. Check if your device can be connected to a USB mouse here; http://www.corsair.com/en/landing/otg-compatibility-list.
