Decrypting Mobile Device with Passware Kit Mobile (PKM)

In today’s digital age, our lives are closely linked with our devices, which hold precious memories, important documents, and personal information. The sudden death of a loved one can leave families not only in emotional turmoil but also struggling to access crucial information stored on these devices. Recently, we had the opportunity to provide support and relief to a grieving family by unlocking their deceased relative’s phone using Passware Kit Mobile (PKM) — Forensic tool that extracts and decrypts user data from mobile devices.

When the family approached us, they were in a state of distress. They were unable to unlock their loved one’s phone and feared that vital information and cherished memories might be lost forever. Understanding the sensitivity and urgency of the situation, our team at Einitial24 immediately decided to help, driven by the simple desire to support the family during this difficult time.

The phone was initially off, with the battery completely drained. After charging it, we discovered that the device was secured with a four-digit PIN. Our first step was to identify the phone model using Google and Google Lens. Once confirmed, we used Passware Kit Mobile (PKM) to crack the PIN.
