How Can I remove in I717 Enter Pin Cod
When I Go Recovery And Wipe Factory Data then Also Ask to Enter Pin Code ...?
Pleas Give Me Solution Any One Have
Odin a stock image... Why dont you know your pin code?
i say stolen phone...... i remember people doing that with the iCrap 2g!
Demo unit?
Try using recovery factory reset.
Perhaps it has a custom demo unit rom and even if you reset to factory it will persist..
enter the pin and go into settings and set it to not require a pin. if that doesnt work for you then you are screwed and might as well give the phone back
That might be SIM Card PIN, so wiping data or flashing stock system image won't change anything.
If it is, you need to disable it from Location and Security settings.

Hi,
I got my SGS2 from O2 yesterday, went to check recovery mode is working ok and it is asking for a password. Has anyone else on O2 had this? For the short time I had my SGS on Gingerbread I got asked for the same when trying recovery mode.
Just tried on my unlocked T-Mobile phone from CPW and it goes in fine.
Blue text, Android system recover (3e), and options to reboot, apply update.zip, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
Also this was done on a rooted phone although im pretty sure i also tried it before rooting and it still worked then.
Password is your screen unlock password.
It turns out it is because I had the screen lock set to a PIN.
Yep, If you have either a screen lock PIN or password set the recovery rom prompts you for them (although if you set a pin it still refers to it as a password in the recovery rom which can be confusing).
However if you set a pattern lock then no prompt is given.
nice to know
Thanks for the info
I was sure my recovery got locked by the store I got it from ... (If its possible)
After replacing my Email.apk without any security and canceling the PIN all is well.

I have the same problem here, but I had no unlock code and still it asks me to "confirm password"....
Yesterday I picked the phone from my pocket, and on the display it said that the unlock code had been entered incorrectly. As I always do I entered the code, but this time it said that I would have to wait 30 seconds for my next attempt as I had entered the wrong code five times. I did, but still it won't accept the code. I know it is the right one because I use the same code as my SIM PIN, which works perfectly fine. Also, my SO knows the code, and when asked to unlock the phone she correctly responded with "it doesn't seem to work?"
I'm using Lite'ning ROM, and on other foras I've read that it is possible to have the device reset through the same screen where the code is entered. On my screen the only option is to type the code, and a button for emergency calls. No "recover password" button. Still, by accident I found out that I could access the phone by pressing the home button twice, which would take me to the voice dialing menu, and it would then be possible to use it as normal until the screen is locked again.
Today, I did a CWM factory/data/cache reset, and reflashed an old backup. Still, it asked for the pin, and said that I had entered the incorrect one. I searched, and found out that to get rid of this I would have to flash a stock ROM. I did, and ended up in the notoric boot loop. The fix for this is apparently to wipe user data from stock recovery, but this requires the password mentioned earlier. Which means I'm stuck.
I tried reflashing the backup I had of the Lite'ning ROM, and wipe data/factory reset from there, but it still does not work with the stock rom.
So:
Any ideas? Is my only option to go to a service center and have it fixed? Will it be a problem that I've unlocked and reflashed it?
Are there other ways to do the data/factory reset? (Through Odin?)
Thanks a ton for any help!
TL;DR: Unlock code entered incorrectly in pocket, phone locked, unable to access wipe functionality and therefore not able to reflash stock rom -> ****ed.
If it's the same issue experienced by someone else on these forums, the solution given here was to keep typing wrong passwords.

It seems to be related, but I now did 50 attempts (where one has to wait 30 sec between every 5 failed passwords), and nothing happens. Will try to repost in the thread you mentioned, and see if they can provide a better explanation.
Anyone else have any clue?
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.
Does anyone know of a way to bypass the pattern lock without knowing the gmail account or phone number. I'm doing this for a friend who found a phone lying around.

To find the owner to to steal the phone? lolol Recovery will work to take the phone if thats the plan otherwise I don't know of a way to do it
Hi All,
Long time poster, check my history on S2 for confirmation i own this phone.
My dads iPhone was playing up, saying no service, so i switched his SIM with mine to see if his sim was working and Wavesecure kicked in, used my unlock code (for wavesecure) and thought nothing off it.
Screen times out and i unlock, asks for MY android pin unlock (as usual), but it wont take it.
I power off, switch to my old sim and power on.
Back to the PIN screen, it still wont take my pin.
So i reboot to recovery, wipe Dalvik and cache, nope!
Ok, i'll run a nandroid restore to a previous backup, nope!
Ok, i'll flash my ROM again (Checkrom), Nope!
Ok, i'll flash another ROM (Andromedia), Nope!
Every time i wont let me in, i can when i flash a new ROM get to the settings menu but when i try to change the PIN it wont let me as it wants to know the old one.
WTF can i do?
PM if necessary.
Ok, was able to gain access to the phone by deleting the settings.db file, the sqlite3 command didnt work.
However it still thinks there is a pin configured when i try to change the pin via the settings menu.
What the hell is going on here?
I am working on a phone for someone that had a heart attack and as a result has forgotten his pin code on his phone. I know I can factory reset but I'm trying to find a way to get back into the phone to recover all his data. I can get into download mode so I was wondering if there is any kind of firmware hack that can be installed in order to just ignore pin altogether. I don't think the data is encrypted. We have been able to recover his gmail account but the lock screen never shows a "forgot your pin?" I tried using find my phone but it says it can locate the phone but that find my phone isn't running. Any help would be really appreciated.

As far as I know, even with those enabled you can't bypass login pin code. If that was the case, you could take anyone's phone, factory reset it, and use it.
? I thought that was kinda the whole point of the existence of XDA. I've already found that Dr. Fone can factory reset and take over a phone. There must be something that can be done in download mode.
