My HTC One M9 has a pattern lock which I do not remember, but I managed to bypass the lock via Google account recovery but it won't let me remove the lock. So I was wondering if there is a way to remove the lock or extract the pattern used? I've read about using ADB to delete the gesture.key but it requires the phone to be rooted in order to work. I can't think of any other solutions at the moment apart from hard resetting the phone. I'm happy to provide more information and up to any suggestions! Thanks in advance!

I know it's possible on Nexus devices using an app like this one.
Is it possible on the HTC One X?
The reason I want this is to prevent others from accessing my information if my phone is stolen (the screen lock is useless if the attacker knows how to enter recovery mode and extract the information directly).
Thank you!!

As far as am concerned, i don't think the bootloader can be looked with a password. the phone can be wiped while in bootloader mode

I didn't mean locking the bootloader with a password. I meant locking it in the same that it's locked when you buy the phone.
What I need is a way to unlock the bootloader without wiping. On Nexus devices it's possible by using the app I linked (though you need root for it to work). I was wondering if there was an app like that one for HTC phones, or an adb command, or anything that would allow me to to unlock the bootloader without wiping. I know it's not possible without root, but maybe there is a way on a rooted phone.

The only way HTC allows to unlock is via HTCdev.com and that will wipe the phone.

Well, try to download again the unlock key from HTC dev and follow again instructions... Anyway, i was pretty sure that there was an option to unlock the device with Google password In case of forgetting unlock path (assuming that a Google account is set on the device)
I upgraded to MM v20c and had a pattern unlock set - since then I can no longer unlock. I even went to Android Device Manager and set a code lock - but still can't unlock. I have some important info on the device and do not want to reset the system. Is there any way to do it?
Just to add - I do have access to my gmail, so if there is a way to reset the lock screen do let me know.
Using ADM I can again "lock" the device but dont get a prompt to enter the code. I can also make my phone call another number - but there seems np way to unlock it. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: There is no option to enter the code from ADM anywhere.
EDIT 2: I can use adb

I am not rooted
Hi there,
i have a Desire Z from 2011 with some pictures on it i would like to backup.
Unfortunately i tried to unlock the phone too often with the wrong unlock pattern and now i have to enter google account information to unlock it. Unfortunately the google account is from 2010 and i don't have the name, the recovery adress - nothing.
It is S-ON and i wondered if it would be possible to root it to delete the unlock pattern information. As i can't unlock the phone i can't enable usb debugging.
So
1) It is somehow possible to get new tries for the unlock pattern (i think i have an idea what it was)?
2) Is it somehow possible to root the phone in this state?
Thanks
Hi guys.
I was adding face unclocking and I've also set up a new PIN code. Everything was working great until the periodic prompt with need to enter a PIN. Unfortunately I don't remember it and I've got a big problem right now. Is there a way to reset the PIN code somehow? My phone is OnePlus 7t with root and unlocked bootloader. I don't know if it helps but my biometric uncloking methods should also work (fingerprint and face). I just need to pass that prompt for PIN and then reset it somehow. I've access to all Google accounts logged in the phone, but I don't see the option to reset the PIN code on www.google.com/android/find.
Is there any hope for me?
Best regards,
Tom.
Format data in recovery should remove lock screen pin--not Google password

Do you have TWRP custom recovery? If not, you need to install TWRP then use TWRP to delete your lock settings.
Unfortunately google has discontinued that unlock feature.
deleting locksettings.db works only on devices encrypted with default_password. For OnePlus 7t it will destroy encrypted data, because encryption keys cannot retrieved without login credentials.
