[Q] "find my mobile" password forgotten!! SOLVED - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ive just recently set this tracking and sim change thing up and thought id have a mess around with it and check samsung dive out and see if it works and all works ok, but now i have a big problem what i did was basically set it up so it can text you when sim has been changed and also to do some remote dat wiping amongst other function however i now want to turn these features off but ive messed up and you know what ive done right ?......yep ive forgottent the password ive tried everything but i just cant remember it !!!
can anyone help ?
what are my options? ive just recently set the phone up how i want it too with ics and all that aswell so didnt fancy factory reset etc
security>find my mobile>sim change alert> FORGOT PASSWORD!!!
its bugging me because lets say i wanted to sell the phone then what happens? if say they want to know etc ....im such an idiot but i dont know what it is as i normally never forget my password maybe im getting old lol!

Factory reset mate. Or check on the Samsung Dive website.
Don't worry about when it comes to selling the phone as a factory reset or flashing a stock firmware will remove that anyway.

im running stock ics . I logged into dive with no probs but the password on the phone must be something else and there is no option to change that. i may have to try and forget about bit I'm one of those who just has to sort it or i won't be able to stop thinking about it lol. Looks like its factory reset then ....and so will lose root etc etc and setup all again ....damn!
Thank mate for reply

No problem. Just create a new account again once all set up and write down your password

solved
I deleted samsung acount from device and re entered and voila it now works so it was not the password it was something else ? because the same password i thought it always was now seems to work, so the only thing i feel it could be is something just went wrong when i updated the phone to ics recently as when i did the update via kies and then the phone booted up it automatically restored the device's setting and apps etc to exactly how it was when on GB ? i myself did no do a back up or restore it just did it which was great!.......i do have the inbuilt back up and reset function ticked though
anyway i now can changed the sim change etc alerts again

update help

First off i wanna send a big whats up to the forum and am glad to be here hope to be here a while and lookin forward to as much help as i can get as am new to the Android os . now lets get it on i have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and when ever i try to add my Samsung account to the phone i keep getting this error processing failed can any one help with this .
thanks to every one in advance
Hello
Try resetting your phone or downloading Samsung kies to you're computer and do it on your computer that way, also an update might help
Hope this helps
Definitely a factory reset. Given you've only just got the phone this shouldn't be too much of an inconvenience.
thanks guys i'll let you know how it goes
Yep definitely post back & let us know how it goes. I completely messed up setting up my google account when I first got my phone, wouldn't connect to servers properly, etc, etc. Did a factory reset & was able to set it up just fine. I'm thinking this should do the trick with the Samsung account.

jus got home one question b4 i do a factory rest . i rooted my phone will i have to reroot after i factory reset
I think you just need to enable background data transfer in settings - accounts and sync - and check background data. You might lose root after factory reset - get superuser from market.

Did you setup a secondary email account and/or cell# when you setup your account?
If so, just go to gmail on the web and resest your password using one of those.
My wife set this up, but with no backup plan incase something like this happened. So now I'm stuck trying to get in
Short answer NO

Short answer No, this is one of the security features, otherwise anyone could change anyone's password.
Even if you want to take off the primary account you have to do a Factory reset. unless you have root.access With mobiles you have to treat it the same as your PC, Backup everything.
Sorry
Dang, this sucks. Ok, thanks. This phone has a sim card installed. Wonder if I could swap into another of the same phone and use that card to enter phone and get all information I need out before I factory reset...

seems possible if you are rooted and have a custom recovery.
Nah not rooted. Got in touch with Google and they put me in contact with the group they use for issues like this. A lot of useful info but there's nothing they can do because my wife only used the gmail to access the play store and nothing else. So basically we are sol and have to factory reset the phone. Gonna look through and find out how to do it
stop stealing phones
If it were stolen, I could just factory reset and get in. But maybe your little brain is too small to read and understand all of the words that I have written. But thanks for your useful tip!! :good:

I need help with my brothers Samsung Galaxy SII

So he wanted me to root his Samsung Galaxy SII and I did that and threw the first ICS ROM I saw on there. So I flashed Neutrino ROM on his phone and it worked fine and I noticed that he had no contacts.
Well I was like crap! And went to put it into recovery and restore the nandroid backup I had and it was bricked when I turned it off and I couldn't turn it on.
So I eventually fixed it and it's on some stock firmware but he still doesn't have any contacts.
I copied his entire Internal SD card to his computer, is there any way to recover the contacts?
I only learned after I deleted his phone that he had all of his contacts stored on the phone itself and not through google or his SIM.
I think the answer is "impossible" but if there is any chance I could fix his phone that would be cool.
' fix his phone ' is not the right term in my opinion.
What you could try is just doing an advanced restore of the nandrois backup with the data while using a STOCK rom but seeming as though I've never had this problem I'm not sure that it will work.

I tried to reboot into recovery and the phone stopped working and became bricked. I finally flashed a ROM on there with Odin but now the back and search buttons don't work and he can't make or receive phone calls.
I know it was the wrong ROM but I can't find the right one either especially for Odin restores.
Is your brother more physically developed than you? If so I recommend buying him a new phone and going around all his friends and getting their contact numbers. If not, pretend like he never gave you the phone and call him crazy.
Honestly, your explanation of the problem, like most threads, sucks. Nobody can help you unless they know exactly what you did, just try and restore the backup you made. You made it in CWM right? If you can't make or receive phone call though, that sounds like a worse problem. Wipe the phone and flash a stock ROM, that's the best advice anyone can give with the information you've supplied.
If contacts were synchronised with google you should be able to download them from google account. Hope this help.

[Q] locked out of tab help

My boys kid set a password on his tab now he can't get in it I put galaxy task rom on it is there anyway to rest the password without resting the tab he has alot of info that's not backed up and don't want to lose
Haven't tried it but I think that you can pull all the contents you want from adb and then factory reset the tab. Maybe wait for a better answer if you want before you procced though!

I'm not sure if it works out not, but I've heard of an app caller screen lock bypass that allows you to bypass the lock screen, as the name suggests, so you can back up your data first, before you hard reset.

Not sure if it will work on our tabs and on custom roms but...
My wife's niece put on a pinlock, we tried just random sets of numbers and after 5 or 6 wrong sets she got an email asking if she wanted to reset her password.

[Q] Instagram blocked my device

Hi!
I have a problem.... Instagram have blocked my device. Not my account, because I can log in to it from other devices or via the web, but I can not login using my device or even create any other accounts...
I have rooted S3 with 4.1.2... But I don't want to reset my device to try if that works... I don't even know if that would work?
On iOS there is an option of chaining some kind of keychain file... is there something similar on Android? or there is other options?
Thanks
Have you tried uninstalling it and resinstalling?

of course!
OK... after trying all kind of stuff... even switching to other Android ID using Titanium Pro did't help... so, the olny way I found was reseting device to factory state.
But if some one finds other solution, it would be great if you cold share with us.

nop... There is an solution, but it`s crapy...
I restored the device several times- installed other rooms and so one... They are not bloking the imei, but they are having some file on the phone, that includes the info about the violetion.
So the option is to reset the device to factory settings, install instagram,, opne it... Hit the Sign in button and then go to RAM clearing options- clear RAM memory and switch back to Instagram, but be sure the screen is where you must sign in the username and password and vuola... your in... After signing out, you must do the same thing when you need to sign in with other account or other one or creat new one... as soon as you pres sign in button- clear RAM and then sign in.
at the moment it`s the only solution I found, but have not been seeking for the option to find the file which is responsible for the info about the violetion.

still I'm really curious where instagram get's the information about being blocked from, since I changed my Android ID, even created a new Googleaccount and reset everything. The app "LBE Privacy Guard" says Instagram doesn't check the IMEI, but I'm not sure about that.

I have Samsung Galaxy Advance (i9070) running on JellyBean 4.1.2. I factory reset my phone
but to no avail, I'm still banned in instagram. My device is just banned cause my account works fine in their website
and other devices. How did you get through with your problem @Fabolous93085 ?
My device also blocked my phone. How can I fix this?

Hello everyone who have the same problem with me. My S grand2 disabled too, but my instagram still active, i can still login on other device/bluestacks.
Now, I have solution about this after instagram make me confuse for a couple of weeks.
I tried this on my Android Device (SGrand2), just install app called IMAGINE for Instagram. You can google it. Or i recommend to download from onhax web with search keyword "imagine". (sorry i still can't post link)
Once installed you can login from that app not from instagram official app. And the good news, you also get some new features there.
Thanks! Hope it can solve your problem.
And don't forget to follow my ig @denny.ri
