How to turn off the LG K51 without a password

A restart does not erase any data, it only consists of turning the device off and on again, if you want to erase all the content and restore the factory, consult the following tutorial: How to restore a LG K51.

Before restarting, you must bear in mind that you must know the PIN code of the SIM card and the unlock pattern or password of the K51, since it will request it when it is turned on again.

Estimated time: 2 minutes.

1- First step:

Press and hold the power or unlock button on the LG K51 until a screen with various options appears.

2- Second step:

Among the options that are displayed on the screen of the LG K51 we choose "Restart". If a confirmation message appears, press accept.

3- Third step:

The device will turn off and on again to perform the reboot, wait a few seconds or minutes. When it is turned on again, it will request the PIN code of the SIM card and the pattern, fingerprint or unlock code.

If you cannot restart the LG K51 since it is blocked and the previous method does not work, we must proceed to turn it off and turn it on again using the physical buttons.

To force a shutdown on your K51 press and hold the power button (or unlock button) for at least 8 seconds until the LG or Android logo appears on the screen and release the button while it turns on again.

If the device still does not respond and you cannot restart it, it is possible that it is low on enough battery, in that case connect the K51 to its charger and try the procedure again.

If it continues without responding and does not turn on or has entered a loop, it is possible that some internal component such as the motherboard, memory, screen or even the power button has been damaged so you will have to repair it or resort to the warranty.

If your phone display is damaged or broken, you can answer an incoming call, end a call, or turn off an alarm using the hardware keys.

and the Volume Keys
at the same time for more than 6 seconds to enter the Hardware key control mode.

Although the Android operating system is relatively stable, it is not uncommon for it to malfunction. To solve the problem, it is often enough to turn off the LG K51 and then switch it on again. The smartphone will then resume its usual mode of operation.

Standard ways of turning off

If the LG K51 is running as usual, it can be shut down using Android's built-in tools. A total of two shutdown options are provided.

Pressing a physical button

The easiest way to turn off your smartphone is to use the power key, which is located on the right-hand end of the device. To shut down you will need:

Press the "Power" button.
In the window that appears, select the "Power off" option.
Confirm the operation.

The phone screen will then extinguish and the phone will shut down. If the power key is unresponsive, or if you just want to be aware of alternative shutdown options, consider terminating via the Quick Access Toolbar.

This option is suitable for people who don't want to or can't switch off the LG K51 using the physical button. The shutdown menu can be called up using the secondary menu:

Lower the notification curtain.
Press the button in the form of the common "Off" icon.
Select the "Power off" option and confirm the action.

In this way, you don't access the physical "Power" button when you're finished, but only the touchscreen layer of the screen performs the operation.

Alternative ways of turn off

Next, let's look at more scenarios on how you can forcibly switch off your LG K51 phone if you forget your password or on a device with a broken screen, for example.

Switching off the LG K51 without screen

If the LG K51's sensor is not working and the smartphone is not responding to screen touches or if screen is frozen, you can try power off the device with a black screen using the buttons. More specifically, it is suggested that you press the Power and Volume Down keys, holding them down until the display goes out. This usually takes 10-15 seconds, and the phone switches off without the sensor.

How to turn off the LG K51 without a password

If you forget your password, you can switch the phone off in the standard way by pressing the power button and selecting the 'Power off' option. It's true that some LG K51 owners complain about the lack of a pop-up menu on the locked screen. In such a case, it is recommended to force a password-free shutdown via Recovery Mode:

Perform a forced reboot as described above.
Press the volume up button and the power key.
If done correctly, you will be taken to Recovery Mode where you need to select the "Power Off" option. Use the volume knob to move between menu items and the power key to confirm actions.
If you want to unlock your smartphone, go to "Reboot system now" and confirm the reset.

Only perform the last step if you are prepared to lose personal data to regain access to the main menu. If you just want to switch the phone off, use steps 1 to 3.
