Locked out of my phone after setting password in Kavana 6.1 :(

I changed my password after upgrading to an alpha numeric.
the last digit in my password is 1
however, the keyboard wont let be type the number 1 in the password field.
It let me type it when I set the password, but now it won't, and I am completely locked out of my phone. can't sync, battery removal fails....
does anybody have any ideas? I really need my phone...

no numbers will work at all in the unlock field. now it says "several incorrect pw's have been used, enter a1b2c3 to continue... would a hard reset work?

ok I fixed it lol...
for those of you that run into the same issue... DO NOT reset your phone.
on the unlock screen, you have to press alt then the number, rather than holding the key down and waiting for the number to appear.

LMAO !!!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Dang. That would SUCK if your alt button didn't work! I hate to hard reset unless absitively posolutely necessary...

I ran into a similar problem. I entered a numeric password but unfortunately I forgot the password! I've tried several different number but cannot seem to figure it out! Is there any way I can reset my phone so that I could bypass the password?

Help, can't enter my phone with password

I went ahead and secured my phone with a password "sher" specifically. (if you understand the reference, you're awesome) and when I tried putting the password it says its incorrect.
What do I do?

nevermind, for some reason it still had my last password even though it was a pin number, weird.

HTC M8 pattern password not accepted or resetting.

Somehow my password pattern is suddenly not detectable and it shows as wrong password. As there is no more option in lollipop for "forgot password" and using the gmail account to log in. How do I reset the password on a HTC M8 without doing a reset? I've tried logging into the google account, and I can use the "find" option in the device manager to locate the device, but if i press the "lock" button and try to enter a new password, for a split second it says "We have sent a lock request to the device", but then it says "Since Google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password you entered won't be needed." Wtf is going on? I am stuck with a pattern locked phone of whose password i know but the phone doesnt detect it anymore. Is there another way to reset the password?

No replies?

Well.......
Let me start by saying that this is a delicate matter, what if the device is stolen and somebody wants to get the info or device to work without wiping it. I know that this is probably not your intention and that it is hard to prove otherwise. But the possibility could be there in the worst case scenario !
Now don't get the above personal, it's written from another point of view, as i am running HTC phones for the past 6 years and never encountered this all of a sudden at any point. So from my point of view i find it difficult to believe.
To get to your point ...... not sure if it can be done otherwise but to reset the device. Depends if it's rooted or not for instance ?
Cheers

No reply ?

According to the story, looks like either : 3rd party apps are interfering (can also be malware/virus) OR someone physically got hold of the device and changed the password(perhaps he thinks its his own)
Try restarting the device while holding the volume up button only, android will go into safe mode and disable all 3rd party apps. If the password still doesn't work, then you have 2 options:
1) if S-ON : factory reset and lose all user data
2) if S-OFF or bootloader unlocked: remove password (this is the most details I can give without being an accomplice)

[Q] Phone not usable what do I do to fix it

Ok, the issue is that I forgot my password for my phone so it took me to the screen where you can either enter a backup pin, which I forgot, or your google details which I remember. The thing is my phone still says invalid username/password despite me changing the password on my computer to something else and double checking the username. this means my phone is useless as I can't use it. what do I do to fix this issue!
