i update wm6 but cant remember password is there away i can bypass the password option or reset it? on xda 2s
i have the same problem... my was was 1337.. and as secret question i had LEET ... so i could never mistake.. after 2 days 1337 wont work!
i need some help 2
i bet you guys changed battery without disabling the password check...
and havent read the forum for the same problems until now.
dont worry... i've been in the same situation...
Sad to say...
your password is LOST.
there are NO SOLUTIONS to revive your password.
but there are ways to save your storage data...
WARNING:
like i said it's sad to say because all your
customization will vanish alongside this procedure.
but you can still save some personal data.
SOLUTION:
press and hold the Camera + Record button
soft reset while holding them...
there will be a display of three items with a NO toggled default.
use the Camera button to toggle YES/NO
and use the record button to Cycle thru the menu list.
Hard Reset Using this option
1. - NO
2. - YES
3. - NO
option
this means you're just clearing up your registry
without touching your storage data.
then Press the Mail button
(second button from the left above your green key)
then if you booted the WM6 and inside it...
use some backup softwares to save your
data (SMS/Contacts/Emails/My Documents)
after you have backed up what you want backed up.
Hard Reset again then use NO/YES/YES or NO/NO/YES
to format your storage...
after the hard reset then reinstall everything again...
hope that helps.
Just to cofirm that the same thing happened to me shortly after upgrading to WM6. I was on a train on my way to a really important meeting.... Grrr.
I was just grateful for being able to save my data - the loss of cusomisations was the least of my worries!!
These days I don't password protect my device...
Hey Friends !
My friend messed up with pattern lock of HTC DESIRE and tried many wrong pattern and now phone locked and asking gmail password to unlock, unfortunately he forgot his gmail password since no longer using gmail.
Please help any solution for this to unlock phone ?
Thanks in advance !
Sorry, if already there is related thread.
Probably the only way he can do this without losing his data is to go to gmail and use the can't access your account link to retrieve his password. Otherwise you'll have to factory reset the phone. There may be other ways which i am unsure though.
On the unlock screen, attempt to enter your unlock pattern five times. When prompted to wait for 30 seconds, tap OK. If the display goes off, press the POWER button to turn the display back on, and then press the bar on the lock screen and slide your finger down to unlock the screen. Tap the Forgot Pattern button in the lower right corner when it appears. Enter your Google Account name and password, and then tap Sign in. You are then prompted to create a new screen unlock pattern. If you no longer want to use a screen unlock pattern to secure your phone, tap Cancel.
I know u dont remember the account but maybe theres some other option there.

Try nandroid backup your phone and see if you can extract the data out. For recovery, turn the phone off, press Vol down while pressing the power button and press volume button to point recovery and confirm with power button.

You can also delete the gesture.key to remove the pattern lock via adb.
If USB debugging is enabled :
Code:
adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key
If not, go on recovery, mount all and delete gesture.key with adb !
Or crack it http://forensics.spreitzenbarth.de/2012/02/28/cracking-the-pattern-lock-on-android/ a bit difficult.

Thanks guys for your helps and suggestions
But guys I unlocked by very simple tricks
Just exposed the screen in light & see the trace mark of previously drawn lock series.
I got the finger marks ... here we done, unlocked cell
Basically, my galaxy nexus has recently been updated to 4.2. during the update i disabled my screenlock.
Yesterday I just reailsed I have had no screenlock and decided to enable it again (the same pin as previously used)
But when I woke up this morning I found that I am unable to unlock my phone using the pin that I set. It keeps saying "Wrong PIN.".
I am sure I put the correct pin, but then i just recalled when I set my pin yesterday, my typing keyboard was shown when setting my password instead of the digits only keypad.
I suspect that the screenlock might have bugged and I am now locked out from my phone.... the only thing I can do is change volume, answer calls and make emergency calls.
Internet access remains active and I am still receiving android apps updates, whatsapp and emails etc (but cant access them of course)
Is there any way I can reset my screenlock pin??? Perhaps through my web based google account or something? Or can google doing anything remotely to help?
If i cant reset my screenlock and has to factory reset, is there anyway i can backup my files / photos exactly to my PC via usb????
My phone uses stock rom (UK vodafone) and has not rooted.
any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
There is a way, but only if you've set up developer mode and allowed usb debugging.
Otherwise, plug it into your pc, get your data off it and do a factory reset from recovery.
Unless stock recovery allows adb? Which you could check. If yes, there is a file that keeps your pin information. Just delete that file and you're all set.

Guys,
I done goofed.
Allowed the young one to play with the tablet, lo and behold, the fingerprint scanner was "gone" and the tablet was requesting the alternate password, which I'm ashamed to say I have no Idea what it is.
I've tried to access the tablet with Android Device Manager, which gives me 3 options, RING - BLOCK - ERASE
After researching, I read that clicking on block and setting up a password there would work, but it doesn't. It just gives me a message saying that "Since google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password that you entered won’t be needed"
There's no samsung account set.
While I know I could do a factory reset, It would be sad to lose some of the photos and files on the device.
Crazy ideas to help this fool here?
cheers,
Dan
factory reset wont delete your photos and files. it just delete system related data/install apps. unless you format your internal drive.
Hmm I thought that could be the case, but the only way I can do as reset now is going into that special mode by pressing power, home, volume buttons when the tablet is off right?
Won't the option I find there more drastic that a regular factory reset?
I haven't tried yet because I was hopeful for another solution :/
No other option available, would be terrible if there was (security bug!) Just do a factory reset in recovery mode, never got my personal files deleted that way, even Bluetooth downloads and old app folders stayed there
I have my device with me, and someone has changed the PIN to my phone and I'm now locked out. I did not link my device to the MI cloud and don't have google's sync enabled. Is there any way i can retrieve just the pictures from the device?
The bootloader is locked, and the phone doesn't have adb enabled.
Will a factory reset, and then deep data recovery using some tools work? I need the pictures alone.
