It is really frustrating and stressful but don't panic since there is a solution to this problem.

Forget about taking it to a phone repairer to fix the problem, it is fortunate that one can easily unlock their smartphone without any hustle. In fact, no skills are required.

There are so many ways one can employ to help them flash their phones.

Here are some ways you ought to know

1. The first important step is to boot your Android handset in Download mode

Nearly all smartphones have a "Home" button. You will be required to turn it off, then long-press the 'Volume down', 'Power' and 'home' button simultaneously for at least 10 seconds. Release them and immediately hold the 'Volume up' button for entering 'Download' mode.

 If your smartphone lacks the 'Home' button, then switch off the device, then press the 'Bixby', 'Volume Down' and 'Power' button for 5-10 seconds and un-hold them. Press the 'Volume up' button for entering 'Download' mode as mentioned earlier. 

2. In the second step, press the 'Next' button to initiate the firmware download.

3. Once you are done with downloading and verifying firmware, the device will flash automatically and all the issues ranging from hanging problems to security password will be fixed.

Flashing usually clears every document on the phone. You will switch on your smartphone and set a new password.
