To hack an Android phone

To hack an Android phone, just type in a really long password

There's a clever hack that bypasses any Android phone's lock.

The latest Android phone flaw is sheer stupidity.

Locked phones require a pass-code. But there's a way to get around that. Just type in an insanely long password. That overloads the computer, which redirects you to the phone's home screen.
It's a time-consuming hack, but it's actually easy to pull off.
From the locked screen, open the phone's "Emergency Call" feature. Type a few characters, then copy-and-paste the text repeatedly. The character "string" grows exponentially, so it quickly becomes close to 40,960 characters long.
Then open the phone's camera app and prompt the phone to request a password. Paste the super long character string a few times until the system crashes. (Based on Gordon's video, it looks like 163,840 total characters.)
Wait maybe five minutes, and the phone goes straight to the unlocked home screen.
be warned
about the vulnerability back in August, so the company released a patch for the flaw last week. But phones will remain vulnerable until they're updated with the latest software patch.
The patch is already available for Google's own line of phones -- the various Nexus models. But there's no telling when it'll reach Android devices made by Samsung, LG and others. Blame the Android's fractured updating system, which is slowed down by phone manufacturers and cellphone network carriers
