after wipe., restart the phone...and you will get clean Rom like first time
you can delete your nondroid back up (if you forgot the password), make new one again.
tried wiping through CWM no dice, flashed back to generic rom, tried to wipe it through there then it asks me for my password gg.

come on man !!
in recovery:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe chache partition
go to advenced:
wipe dalvik cache
wipe battery stats
restart phone, and wait until is load.
People have reported that you can't remove the password by doing a factory reset. I was quite surprised by this myself, but have found a way to do it. I've never forgotten my password (I have a pattern, rather than a pin/password), but I've flashed a few kernels and have noticed that whatever pattern I use will work, until I set it again.
Try flashing a new kernel and see if that helps. Like I said, I use a pattern so I don't know if it will work for a pin or password.
Good luck mate

No dice either, I'm pretty sure I didnt forget my password either, its full of **** i reckon. I typed my password in and my girlfriend saw me set it up plus it even asked me to confirm the password which I did now it wont let me in wtf?
Edit: Tried all of the above no dice.

The lock passwords, pins, and patterns are saved on the /efs partition which is not touched during flashing. That is why flashing is not fixing anything
CM7 would bypass it since it uses the original Android lock setup not the Samsung modified.

I have AndroidLost on my phone and recently it decided to go haywire, set a password on my phone then lock itself. I've verified this wasn't malicious, outside activity - none of my accounts have been hacked. I've done a backup, and that hasn't solved my issue, is there anyway I can, with root, unlock my phone?
You should be able to unlock it using your Google account, failing that, you're likely looking at data loss by factory resetting and overloading it with wrong passwords.

This option would be for people that can access their phone, I cannot.
It's for recovery mode. You can't even get into that?

It's written in the thread linked above.

Got it to work!
Basically, the post oinkylicious linked to had the solution. The password/PIN they are referring to is the one that we are prompted to enter when trying to do a data/factory reset from stock recovery. After a number of tries it will say that if you type the password wrong once more it might delete contents on your SD card. What I did was remove the SD card, and continue to enter wrong passwords. After a while it will the show some text (can't remember what), and let you go through with the data/factory reset.

I've done a factory reset via the Recovery menu. Restoring a back up now.
Hello everyone,
Last night I changed my SGS2 pin without really paying attention to what I was doing, and subsequently forget it 3 seconds later. My phone is rooted, I have CWM and I am using a custom ROM. What can I do? Is there anyway to unlock my phone? I also saw this solution posted in another thread. Will that fix my phone?
Thank you in advance for any help.

If I backup data before doing this, then recover the data, will I be able to get into my phone? Or will it backup my PIN too?

If you've forgotten your pin you should be able to login with your Gmail account.

Originally that's what I thought too, but that only works with the pattern, not the PIN. I've entered my PIN wrong hundreds of times and it hasn't given me that option.
Fair enough
So I tested that and you're right. Flummoxed.

Yes. I'd still like to know, if I restore a backup, will I still have my PIN? I'm trying to do this but I have to get around the md5 sum error.

just to clarify what i did:
i flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt-2.1.zip
i erased userdata and cache in fastboot
i flashed LG-H85010E-Flashable.COMPLETE.zip and FLUENCE_HD24_PATCH.zip
and then my problem(screenshot) occurred

I never ever have seen such a screen
But I would guess that something went wrong when flashing 10E or the patch.
I recommend the following:
- Check if TWRP is still installed
- If yes, format data again
- Re-flash SuperSU or no-verity-opt-encrypt-2.1.zip
- Reboot
If you lost TWRP, you have to flash it again, format data etc.
I've done all the steps you have listed few times but never encountered this problem. Can you even access the TWRP menu? Maybe ask Miustone the developer of HD24? Please tell if you can access the TWRP and your files

after formatting data in TWRP the new screen appears, thanks for that. but the bar in the new screen(screenshot) doesn't change.
the button beneath the bar makes the phone going into recovery and format cache.
repair data after format data did the trick! thanks everyone for the fast help!!! love you all

You probably messed up something, don't ever lose your efs partition backup.
Did you flash csc or home_csc with odin? Use the csc without "home".
home_csc doesn't wipe your phone completely, also backup your data, pictures etc somewhere else as it might erase those too(haven't done this since forever so I don't remember).

Does everything else work?
Which firmware files have you flashed?
Also make sure it's the right one for your sim card.
Other things: Shut down, take out sim, boot without it. Shut down again, insert sim and boot it, see if you get anything on start.
Can you make calls even though it's supposedly enabled?

Did you restore any settings after flashing?
Can you make calls even though you are on flight mode?
Did you try what I said before with the sim card? Also try
putting it in the other slot.
What happens when you long press the airplane icon?
Do you see your IMEI codes when you dial *#06# or do you get zeros or NULL? Don't post them here if you do, just say yes or no

Again, you didn't take a backup before trying something weird and later something weirder, why?
I'd suggest reflashing stock but you should wait for someone else to try and help you as it may involve fixing partitions among other things.

Welcome, well good thing you had that. Worst case you'll have to take it to Samsung and them wanting to replace hardware, best case things haven't been overwritten so it's restorable through some method.
Pick a custom ROM and stick to that when you fix it.
In the future always make backups, especially since it's a Samsung phone and things that control your IMEI are more reachable than they should be.
Good luck!
