"Never leave your phone which has many important data stored to your kids! That's the advice I want to tell other Android users. My son was too naughty yesterday. And I was too sleepy to get up and play with him. So I give my Android phone to him to kill his time. There's no doubt that that's how bad things happen – He set a password for my Android phone and now my Android was locked now! I need data in it right now because I am going to attend an important meeting and I need the important photos about our products now. Can anyone show me how to unlock and retrieve Android pictures in it?"
