Mobile Phone Password Unlocking and Data Recovery

Mobile device unlocking and data recovery, carried out only where there is a lawful basis: police and law enforcement requests, court proceedings, and instructions from legal teams. We do not provide this service to private individuals.

Who we accept work from

Police & law enforcement

Formal requests from investigating officers and forensic units.

Courts & legal proceedings

Devices held in evidence for civil or criminal cases, including expert witness instruction.

Solicitors & legal teams

Authorised recovery on behalf of a client, with the legal basis documented before work begins.

What the service covers

  • PIN, password and pattern lock removal on devices from most manufacturers.
  • iPhone and iPad, Android handsets, Samsung devices and tablets.
  • The data is preserved. This is a recovery service, not a reset — see data recovery for storage and drive work.
  • Cellebrite and other root-level recovery systems, including damaged devices.
  • Support varies by model, chipset and operating system version. Feasibility is confirmed per device before any quotation is issued.

How a case runs

  1. Authority

    We confirm the legal basis for access — the force or force reference, court order, or instructing solicitor — before the device is booked in.

  2. Assessment

    Model, chipset and operating system version are checked against current recovery methods. If the device cannot be recovered, we say so at this stage.

  3. Recovery

    Extraction is carried out and the recovered data returned to the instructing party.

Costs and turnaround depend on the model, operating system and age of the device, ranging from £1,500 / $2,000 upwards.
