Hi
I cannot set a working Lockscreen PIN or Password anymore.
What happened, since yesterday my lockscreen PIN was not working anymore.
Im using the PIN now for several months so i'm for shure trying the right one.
I have to use at least a PIN or Password due to security requirements from a configured Exchange account.
Factory resetting did not help either. Was then able to connect with adb and delete /efs/cryptoprop*
This allowed me to use the phone, was also able to set a new PIN or Password but they won't work after locking the phone.
Did then format /system /efs /cache and reinstall, but even after all this as soon i configure a PIN this PIN won't work!
What was working was to set a new Paatern for unlock, but the Exchange account enforces PIN or Password.
Also the text is asking for an unlock password, but the screen shows the number keyboard, not shure if it was like this all the time.
Any idea waht could be wrong?
Did it stop working after you updated to ICS, by chance?
No i did not change anything. Installed checkrom v6 arround a week ago.

I have a ThL W8, running GravityMod 1.5 (android 4.2)
I want'ed to try out the face recognition based unlock, so I setup it to recognize my face and its working!
The problem is that I just wanted to check this out, so I tried to pull it off and but I was asking to input a security PIN which was made for a situation you're in a dark area and the camera wouldn't recognize you or etc...
Once I've setup the lockscreen I didn't put 2 much of attention to the PIN and I can't remember it.
I'm used to have this option of "forget PIN?" or something which allows you to reset your password with you google account but it seems missing.
I'd like to cancel it, what should I do?
I got an old NEt10 LG phone on android 2.3
and I forgot the logon info on it. (I do know the pattern pin code)
what happened is this is for my son and I got alot of apps and stuff set up on it but he was playing with it and used up the limit on the pin pattern unlock.
now it is asking me for a name/pw to unlock. problem is it have no internet access (never put wifi on it) and I don't remember the name/pw it is used under
can anyone help? if it can get me back to the pattern unlock then I can just unlock it.
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!
Hello,
I'm pretty good at computers but when it comes to phones I'm a dummy. I set a password in my Galaxy S5 running samsung-stang5litre edition 5.0 I just bought this phone and it had this ROM installed. I looked up instructions online for this phone to remove it (settings are not working or showing for this ROM) for this phone model and there are no instructions for this ROM. How do I remove the password or do I have to reset this phone ? If I reset the phone will it still ask for the password ? The person who sold me this phone also changed how this ROM looks and deleted almost every program out of it before I bought it. Please help me.
Found help
Since no one answered back I contacted someone to help me. I'd have never figured this out by myself. I'm so glad for his help. This is what worked.
What you have to do to remove that pin, go to Settings>Lock Screen> Screen Lock> Pattern> Setup any pattern, then setup Pin Code with it after you setup the Pattern. (You already have a Pin set in, just use it). It will ask you to type it in twice.
Now Power Off and Power On the phone it will ask for the pattern, do 5 to 6 wrong patterns, it might time you out for 30 seconds after that, on the bottom right of the phone it will say "use your Pin Code", hit that button, type in the Pin which you already setup while you were setting up your pattern, then use that Pin Code to unlock the phone. Now Power Off and Power On the phone, you shouldn't have any pin or pattern code to unlock anymore.
This worked for me.
