Security researchers at University of Texas have found a bug in android 5.xx which allows hackers/attackers to bypass the lock screen of android lollipop devices.

However this hack works on devices using password set , this means that devices with pin or pattern lock are safe for now.

On to the hack;

1. On the locked screen, open EMERGENCY CALL window .

2. Type in the emergency number space about ( not limited to ) 10 " * " characters.

3. Double tap on it them to highlight them then copy .
At the end of the characters paste the copied characters adding to those already there, then copy all the characters again.
Now keep copying and pasting till double tapping on the characters no longer highlights the characters .
This usually happens after 11 times of copying and pasting .
