- **Uninstalling AppLock** is one of the best ways to access password-protected apps on your phone. If there is no AppLock, there is no need for a password, and you can open any application without it. Here's how to uninstall it step-by-step:
- To begin, go to [**Settings**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94990/how-do-i-solve-this-error-in-windows-10-pro-there-was-a-problem-resetting-your-pc) and select the Apps option.
- Then, under the Downloaded tab, select AppLock.
- To proceed, tap the Uninstall option and then click OK. That is all there is to it.
- Simply uncheck the button next to the AppLock option in 'Settings Security Device Administrators.' You can now easily uninstall it.
- To begin, go to 'Settings Apps Downloaded AppLock.' To continue, press the Force Stop button and then OK. If AppLock is a device administrator, then it should be removed first.
