Hi,
I just flashed my Gaxaxy S2 with the lintening rom yesterday. Everything has been working fine. Last night I setup my email, which was working fine. Part of the email setup requires yos to setup a password on the device. I remember the phone asked for 2 seperate password. Later on the phone restarted, but since then I am unable to get into the handset. My password is not working, and I do not know why.
The phone is booting into the Litening Rom, but is asking "Enter password to unlock". In the hope of getting the phone to reset I have entered the password wrong over 100 times, but it keeps on asking for the password. When I enter the password incorrectly 5 times, it says.. "Incorrect Password entered x times. Wait 30 seconds and try again".
Any suggestions how I can clear this prompt ? I dont care if I loose all my data on the phone...
Thanks,
Richard
If I were u, I would do factory reset from cwm, this will erase ur password with everything else

You don't mean the PIN, do you? You may be screwed if you lost your efs folder.
Hi, Thanks for your replies so far...
Exactly what happened...
Installed the rom
Setup Outlook to connect to my exchange 2007 server using ssl.
The exchange server enforced by policy a password to be set on the device.
I set the password.
When phone restarted, password was not being accepted...
Now cannot get past the password prompt... have tried entering the wrong password 100 times, but it wont reset the device....
is there a way to clear the password ? or even wipe the entire device and install a new rom ?
Thanks,
Richard
I had the exact same problem. Factory resetting through cwm even flashing new rom after full wipe didnt work. Flashed stock rom, without rooting go into recovery mode and then do a hard reset.

I think I have this exact same issue caused by active sync. I re-flashed Litening 3 times and try some other ROMs nothing worked! I will try re-flashing the stock rom like you did @5kops and see how I go.
Hi Ive got the same issue - did flashing the stock ROM and doing hard reset fix the issue?

This comes up when I try to synch my google account after recovering with Odin. Any ideas on a fix? Ive tried restarting, wiping data/cache and redoing the recovery.
--EDIT--
Sorry I should also mention that other data connectivity works perfectly fine. I can surf the web send MMS and all that. But Market/Talk/Gmail anything google wont work since I cant sych
Go to Settings -> Privacy, and run a Factory data reset.
Have u changed your gmail password recently? If yes, maybe you have entered the wrong password on your device?

Factory reset fixed it, thank you. I'll have to try flashing the lite rom later but at least now while Im at work my phone isn't crippled anymore, thank you very much!
My friends phone got locked after his younger brother entered several unsuccessful pattern attemps. The phone asks for the google user pass but after entering says wrong user/pass.. He is on ICS (Omega ROM). The wifi was off, so is there any way the wifi can be turned on? The screen doesnt let the user do anything (cant pull the notification menu etc)
I flashed the ROM again but still same message..
I know I can wipe all data and it'll be fixed, but the friend doesnt want to lose his data (lots of pics/videos) etc. So someone help please
the phone is rooted btw
Wipe & tell your friend he's learned a very valuable lesson about making regular backups (given they take all of 5 minutes & require maybe half a dozen button presses).

data on Internal SD doesn't get deleted with factory wipe. Only sms will be lost. Contacts are backed up in google accounts.
Thanks. Wiped and installed the Rom again had the backup of sms and contacts. He is happy none of his files got deleted

WRONG. The phone doesn't just lock itself for 30 minutes -it's gonna stay locked forever unless you enter your Google account's password. It happened to a friend of mine (I was the one who locked it) and because he didn't remember his password his phone remained locked for 3 weeks until he finally remembered the password. During that time he could only receive and answer calls but nothing else.
I did the device encryption for my rooted Galaxy note 2 N7100. Before encrypting it asked to set a password. I had set it. Later I successfully encrypted the device and started using it without any problem. But this morning I woke up to see my device restarted some time ago in the night and waiting for me to enter the password to decrypt the device. As usually I entered the correct password but, it didn't accept the password. I am sure I am entering the correct password. But still it dint accept. All the chances to enter the correct pwd are over and now whenever I try to enter the password (i am still sure that I am entering correct password) but, it is restarting automatically. I don't mind loosing the data as I have a back up. Somebody please help me. I want to reinstall the OS. I tried connecting to my laptop via usb but nothing is showing up.
Hi there,
I flashed my S2 with stock ROM using ODIN (coming from a custom rom) and I was stuck in a boot loop for quite some time until I flashed a pit file along as well.
Now the problem arises when my S2 has successfully booted. I was greeted by the "Enter password to use encrypted device storage" screen instead of the normal welcome to android screen. I tried all the passwords I've ever used and they did not seem to work unfortunately. I think I have tried connecting my device to VPN and Exchange long long time ago but I've used the password used for those and that doesn't work.
I tried flashing with two versions of JB stock - UK & TH and I am getting the same result.
Any suggestions? Thanks
Go to setting's and wipe credentials storage this may work without data loss. if that doesn't work factory reset.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I can't access the S2's settings. I can't do anything else apart from entering the password. I cannot access the homepage and etc. I've flashed my device a number of times with stock roms (so that's factory reset).
OK let me search. I see long ago now how to solve this.
I can't find the thread but I'm sure you need to go back to either GB or ICS and factory reset there. I have read about enter the password wrong 15 times and it will reset but that is firmware dependent and I can see what one.
I will keep looking but try GB factory reset.
Hello, I did a factory reset this morning, on the first boot phone asks to configure the wifi settings as usual, then gmail account, after checking account it asks me to log in with one account that was previously sincronized on the phone (wich is the same account I tried to log in in the first place and the only account ever used on this phone) I tried several times but no succes, always the same, after login with the google account it goes back to "check your account" I don't know what else to do, the phone is on stock marshmallow 6.0, bootloader is locked. If I log in with my google account on PC, I can see that the phone conected with that account, dont know why this is happening, I've made factory resets on my moto g3 several times and never had this problem before. Hope you can help me to solve this
