My phone got locked because someone played with my pattern lock then I have to enter my google account but I don't know my account anymore. I forgot my password. I don't like to reset my phone because I don't have backups. What else can I do to get it back? Thanks!
err try pressing the back button. Locks screen of android is diff from apple's. it only gives a 15 secs or 30 secs before you can unlock again. If that doesnt work i dont know. Never experienced a perma lock before
Well in all cases, you have to enter the google account you use with your phone. How can you forget your account description man? Well if you use the same password as you use with your e-main account, you can recover it back by the e-mail "Forget Password" option
If you know the lockscreen task you can use adb shell to kill the lockscreen process
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?
you can also try to go in recovery and format data ......your lockscreen pattern will get wiped off
edit : hmmm ..you dont want to reset....

Hi all,
Yesterday for fun some friends of mine chose to put a numerical password on my phone, I said it was not a problem since I thought there was an option to unlock it if password was forgotten with Google account (I remembered doing it sometimes in the past).
But it looks like there is not this option anymore.
I know a factory reset will remove the password but I actually have some very importants messages that I can not lost.
So I would like to know if there's a way to avoid the password or at least backup messages to my computer or something like that.
Thank you very much for your understanding.
Im no expert but heres what i would do:
First enter recovery Mode and BACKUP
Now dumped the backul to ur pc
Now comes the part i do not know spe ifics about...? Seach Google for the boot security loader for ur android version.. There should be a configs file that sets the lock level modify that to no security and it should work im swaeching for a good link now

I have the same issue
I'm not a tech guru, but I had this problem: I have an old phone with photos that I'm not longer using with data, but I had some locked photos in there and I could not access them when I tried to put in my current gmail password or that pin I remember while using wifi, since it's not using data. Even though I would go on my pc and type in my password/email and log in..it just wasn't registering for this phone.
What worked: 1. Wifi connection---installed all software updates
2. I turned off 2 step verification from my email through my PC
3. I then also turned ON the Allow less secure apps feature
4. After this I was successfully able to sign on to my email account from the email app on my phone.
Then I tried again to put in my current password and email from the locked pictures--- and it signed me on...and allowed me to change my password/pattern/pin and I could then access the pictures.
I hope this helps someone bc this took me over 12 hours to figure out.

Did you try to, via your computer, use the option-"forgot password" for your email and then when you recover your email password then try to get the rest of them?

You do know they are not stored on your phone right? They are stored server side. That's why you can't log in with out a data connection.
You will have to use the recover password option. But the fact that you seem to have forgotten your email, Facebook passwords sounds kinda fishy.
uhm okay..Can I recover my password from my google account saved on the phone? Google account password is saved on phone?

No. Once again, it is not stored on the device. It is all stored on Google's servers.
ok,thank you
I have had two devices which have been lost ,I have obtained 2 new sim cards and loaded whats app on to a new device for each phone.
I deleted my whats app account ( this would then remove old whats app data and chats from old device app ?)
I logged on to google drive and removed any access to whats app and deleted all back ups
I then changed my mobile numbers to further secure a the chances of no restall and back up as account number is dead !
My question is this - despite all my efforts will there still be a chance back up data will be stored on the file maanger ?
If YES then how long does it stay for ? I have deleted items which are a few weeks old , should they have been over written ? Will all the data be Unretrievable?
Thanks

If you deleted your old WhatsApp account the chats are unrecoverable
Maybe FBI can bring them back
So Be relax

So if the police have tech to find it then others can download and use that tech :-/ is this a real possibility even after someone has deleted their account ?
Ps the FMM thing only works if your phone is switched on , if I have disconnected my sim in the device there is no data going to it , do they need a WIFI connection to extract the data ???

Oh I see
"They " as in anyone who is tech savy and finds my device .
My issue for peace of mind is this .....
Is there software anywhere that can break passwords ?
Is there software that can extract data by passing the pass code of your device ?
Does the device need to be switched on for DATA extraction and if so does it need to be connected somehow to the WIFI or connect online ?
If I can remote wipe my device , but it is switched off , would it matter if they can extract data while it is not connected online or to the WIFI ?

I'm guessing that the fact I have no idea what that means is to assume I didn't do it ..... I'm not the most tech savy of people so would not have known how to do this on a Samsung ?
Well that is a little reassuring if they can not by pass with any software ..... I've read so much stuff on the Internet saying that people can use all kinds of tech to break into phones ect !!
If I do use the remote wipe option but it says" trying to connect" does this mean it is switched off or off line and that they will need to switch it on if they want to take the data or get in and that will set the remote wipe into action ?
Thanks

Why do people not read all of ths question and answer it ?
I had to change the back of the phone cause is broken, so i put a password to go to the it guy. After i put the password i tried to loggin and i cant access, i have my phone since 2014 so there is a lot of important data on it, for example my contacts list and i cant lost it.
Is anyway to unlock the password? After five intents i dont see the recovery pattern, i have my gmail account link it to it.
