How to reset password on S2? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I forgot the password, so how can I reset it? I cant get to the menu
I reflashed the phone, but no success
I used the jig, which reseted the number of customs reflash to zero, but also no success

Wasn't there an option to reviver Forgot Password? Then it should ask for your email address and sent it to your email id, don't forget to turn on Wifi or Packet Data before doing.

Just fill it up with wrong passwords.

Password? Pincode? The 4-digit number? It's stored on your SIM card. You can't bypass it. You need to enter false ones a couple of times, then use your PUK code to recover. That's how it works over here at least..

[Q] Divert Activated - can't call anybody

Hello,
my brand new LG P500 just arrived from amazon.de.
Everytime I try to make a call I have this popup saying "Divert activated" and the call is cancelled.
Already searched on the web but I can't find anything.
I tried multiple SIM cards (same network) and I always have the same error.
The SIM cards work well on other phones.
I do not live in Germany and neither my SIM card is German, but the cellphones is unlocked. But I wonder if there's a default configuration or something (I've done a factory reset and it wasn't a solution).
Any ideas?
Thank you
EDIT:
If I turn off and then turn on the phone I can make one call but then everything becomes the same again.
Did u check setting ...calls...call forwarding ..? Disable those...
Hit the thanks button if I helped you

Just backup your data do factory reset.
If it's stock ROM. Go to Settings >privacy> factory reset
IF its custom ROM wipe cache.
Now you ready to spend on calls.

Then it's your Network operator problem. Just call your operator and ask the deactivate code. Call divert deactivate code varies country to country and operator to operator. So call them ask them....

Rooting noob help.

you need to resync your contacts.
when you used your back up all links were broken in the firmware.
Thanks for the reply. Actually I do the resync and still nothing happens. Does resetting to factory default will do the trick?

Were your contacts actually saved to google? Or just phone?
Did you manually backup your files to PC? If not - WHY lol

Forgot Pin Need Help

Hey guys,
I forgot my pin. I'm sure i'm entering the right code but still not working. I tried these options:
1.entering the supposedly wrong pin many times, and hoping it would ask me to sign in with my gmail/google credentials. But it never did.
2.Lock screen byppass pro says: not compatible with device from Google play store.
Are there any options left, have important files on the phone.
Thanks
NAndroid backup
Cwm wipe data
Either try restore data only or manually search nandroid backup for your important files
Good practice is to keep important files on an sd card rather than internal

I really need the data. And dont really want to root the S3.
Wipe cache and dalvik might work.

So you want/need these files, you can't get to the recovery screen but you don't want to take the other steps to get your data..

It's not that bad, just do some reading beforehand. There's even a tool that will do it for you. The Q/A forum is also very inviting I may add
Used samsung dive and I'm not up and running.
Why don't you just connect your phone to the computer with usb and transfer the files on to your pc? Or will it not connect with pin lock on?

It's smarter than that. If you connect in USB with the screen locked securely, it doesn't activate until you unlock it at least once.
OP, is it definitely the phone PIN as opposed to the SIM PIN? Cause there's no reason it shouldn't prompt you to override the phone pin with your Google account info

call your phone from another one and answer it. Once you answer hit the menu button and go to settings and quickly add another email account...Yahoo, hotmail, whatever. Can't hang up until done and have to be connected to Wi-Fi. Once it's stored in accounts you can hang up. go to lockscreen and enter that account as user and/or password. Any account you have stored to phone password will work.
Ok. Here's what I found.
In other words I unlocked it using Samsung Dive.
For some reason it locked and didnt accept my pin.
1.if possible dont use pin because for some reason it simply wont give you the option of forgotten and unlock with your google account.
2.If locked with pin you cant access files via pc.
3.so activate samsung asap and stay away from pin. Maybe this is a bug?

[Q] Jellybam ROM problem

Hi, a couple of weeks ago i installed successfully the jellybam 5.0.0 (i think) ROM on my device. And yet it works perfect as for a little problem. I set up a lock screen password and today i decided to use my phone without a password....i went to the settings menu but there it is written that the "no password mode" is deactivated by admin. Has anybody idea how to solve this problem? Thanks
Do you have a VPN connection configured? If yes, a lockscreen pin/pattern/password is required.

how to screen lock reset

hello
i forget the numeric screen lock of my cell .. is there any solution available to fix it ..
cell contains lots of pictures and videos those are really important for me..
thanks
If you enter enough times it will request for your google password. Enter and get in. I think. Other option is to delete the settings database file in I forgot where.

Also, if you know how to use ADB you can break in via command prompt.
But I would just keep misentering it until it asks if you forgot your password and tells you to sign in with your Google account. And you should have your google password. Then it will unlock and reset the pin I think.
