Another year, another I/O. The 2013 edition of Google’s widely anticipated developer conference has come and gone, and earlier this year too by about a month and a half. In general, Google has been working on a number of projects for that ten and a half months since (and probably before that too, but you understand), though only a portion of those projects pertain directly to Android. (If you want to view the full keynote presentation to see what Google is up to in general, you can watch it here. The appearance of and Q&A with Google co-founder and CEO Larry Page, pictured below, is well worth it.)

We have shown you how to bypass and reset your Android lockscreen before on this blog, but this post in particular is about the Galaxy S3. The S3 is one of the most popular phones out there, and it also has some very particular exploits that can enable you to bypass the lockscreen entirely, in addition to the aforementioned methods that will allow you to reset your lockscreen.
