First of all, I know this has been posted before regarding other devices, but I couldn't find anything about this phone.
Here's the deal, my friend passed away on Friday night, and suicide was highly suspected. His parents very much want to be able to unlock his phone and find any reasons that may point to suicide. They have exhausted all of the pattern lock attempts possible, so now it's stuck at the recovery option.
The phone is definitely on stock, and most likely hasn't been rooted. When I try to unlock it, I can see the actual homescreen in the background before the password recovery screen pops up. The phone is still active, so I can call it and text it if that can help bypass the lock screen in any way.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Wellp, none of the glitch methods I found online seemed to work. But I did manage to get into the phone.
I realized that Firefox/Chrome/Whatever will probably have his password for gmail saved. So his parents let me on his laptop and I managed to find his gmail password in the saved passwords and reset his pattern lock.

My step daughter is a MAJOR kleptomaniac. She loves to steal phones and ipods from friends and family, idk why. Anyway, I had just rooted my phone and ran out of time (prepaid- tracfone) and put it away. She still found it and put a text lock on it, and won't give it to me. I DO NOT want to do a hard reset.
Help me bypass the lock screen or reset the password somehow, please.
The forgot password pop up does not pop up after trying many times with random letters.
I emailed the phone company days ago, and they have still not replied.
I have searched all over for a solution here and google.
I have all the SDK tools if you have a method that requires the tools or command line.
Thanks.
My brother set up a lock screen pin on his Xperia Go and now cannot access his phone. He was messing around with the phone and ended up setting a pin which he does not remember. He's tried various combinations and nothing has worked.
A factory reset wouldn't be an issue but there are photos which he wants to recover.
The WiFi is connected and his Google account is in tact. He remembers the password to that but the device does not offer any option to reset the pin. I tried installing a free and paid screen lock bypass app but none of them worked, I was going to try installing Screen Lock Bypass Pro through the web market but it says the device is incompatible with it.
The phone is stock, it has not been rooted or modified in any way.
Can anyone please help recover the photos?

# no wifi access to home service - data, and service shut down by provider when issue started again. But 3G showed full access through bloetooth port open 442.
I have home wifi but all disconnected so source of 3G unexplainable.
:: after trying to figure it out I was locked out totally by main screed. Can't download fix or access home wifi.
Not worried about fix as much as grabbing dated and reports of what, when, and how. Gotta get past screen lock.
PLEASE HELP
Bump! Has anyone got any suggestions?
Sorry if this has been answered before, I did do a few searches before posting though.
I know the google account associated with this phone, as well as the correct password (I use it daily so I'm 100% sure of the password)
I have forgotten my unlock pattern (the one you draw on the 3x3 grid).
I'd like to unlock the phone, but it doesn't remember any wifi passwords, I cant figure out how to make it connect to wifi. I also don't have a compatible SIM card, that I know of.
Is there a way to back up the phone to an SD/Computer without logging in, before resetting it? I'd just like to access the old pictures, but if my only option is a factory reset I can accept that.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Trying to get into an old HTC Thunderbolt of mine. I cannot remember my pin screen password. Don’t think I have the option to connect to WiFi and I don’t have the right SIM for it anymore so I can’t login in with my Google credentials.
I am unsure how I can unlock the phone without wiping it. Was hoping to get some old pics and music off of it. Been meaning to forever but now kind of need one of the pics.
Any ideas?
I'm posting this in a bunch of different places just in case someone has an answer for me:
I'm so frustrated. I set some stupid new pattern passcode on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S7) yesterday because I wanted to try it out and see how it worked. It was a method where you swipe on the screen in a series of directions to unlock it. Now I've either forgotten it or it's not working and I only have two attempts left before my phone automatically erases all data on itself. I cannot do a factory reset and lose all of my data, that's just not an option for me. I've tried unlocking it with "Ok Google" which I do have enabled on my phone, but it didn't work. I've tried going to device manager in my google account and locking the phone but it won't override the password I already have on my phone so that doesn't work. Apparently my device wasn't registered in my Samsung account so Samsung can't remotely unlock my device. Verizon (my service provider) won't help me. The link that people online say should appear after too many attempts that lets me sign into my phone using the Google Account that it's linked to won't appear. The information that I've found online about how to "hack" my phone doesn't make any sense to me and requires me to download or already have installed all sorts of suspicious looking files/programs that I'm not willing to install onto neither my phone nor my computer. I'm just at a loss and really frustrated. What could be wrong? How do I fix this? Who can help me?
Check this , maybe it will works for you .

You might be out of luck. You won't lose any files just apps and settings if you factory reset.
This is why no one uses pattern unlock any more. Too many things that can go wrong.
