Abstract

A screen unlocking method, device and terminal, wherein the method includes: a first terminal sending a key information acquisition message to a second terminal, wherein the key information is used to unlock the first terminal; and the first terminal unlocking the screen of the first terminal according to the key information from the second terminal. By using the embodiment of the present document, it solves the problem that, when the screen cannot be unlocked since the user forgets the password, the version needs to be upgraded to unlock the screen, resulting in a waste of time and a loss of important data in the terminal caused by upgrading the version, the user can unlock the terminal according to standby key information, thus avoiding the situation in which the terminal cannot be unlocked since the unlocking code of the terminal is forgotten, and further improving the ease for using the terminal.
