OK. I installed an update to my ROM and restored apps + data to my phone and now the lock screen is stopping me from unlocking the phone. so i installed a bypass app to at least unlock my phone.
I need to either remove/reset the password so i can change it or have something to change the password.
Any help much appreciated!

Don't Matter Fixed it!
For those that have the problem get Screen Lock Bypass and clear settings/setting storage data on titanium or related. then restart and your password is reset/removed!
You'll have to redo your settings though which dosent really matter.

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"....
Hey!
Changed my lock screen pin today, but apparently entered it wrong (twice?) so it wasn't what I thought it would be...
How do I go about unlocking it? I really don't wanna reset the device or install a new rom!
My Galaxy Nexus is rooted, I have gmail pw, ADB access and pin code...
Please help fast!
Thank you
if the phone still has access to the internet (wifi or data) then once you try to enter the lock pin incorrectly a few times it should ask you to login with your gmail password, which should then unlock the device allowing you to change the lock pin.
Failing that there are methods involving adb, do a search on google as I think some people have unlocked it using adb.
I enabled the pin lock for my phone..and accidently i might have typed in the pin too fast and got it wrong... Once i locked it I can't get back in again as it keeps saying..Incorrect pin.. After 15 attempts it says "Try again after 30 seconds" and this goes on.. Please help me! this is urgent! :crying:
It won't even show a "Forgot pin option or a restore option with Google account"
I'm using Omega v42
Not sure which pin lock you are referring to, but just go in to recovery and factory reset.
which will remove all the apps and data

Lockscreen pin lock...I entered the incorrect 50 times but still no "Forgot Pin" option came up.. Anyway I did a factory rest via CWM

Yup it did, that's why I was hoping if anyone could come up with some other way of doing it..
Anyway thanks nonetheless
There is no other way - if you choose a security feature, you expect it to offer some countermeasure. As you have found.
Don't forget to hit thanks...
could've tried formatting /system and reflashing the rom - should've worked, and the apps would be intact
Hi I lost my phone few days ago but I was able to find it however before finding my device I locked it using find my device password. Now the problem is I cant remember the password I set for it. And there is no option to either change or remove password. I cant hard reset my phone either because it asks for the screen lock password and I dont remember that either. So what should I do? Am I locked out for good should I buy new phone? What should I do? Thanks

You can try this if you have a custom recovery:

Otherwise I don't know any other way ...
Have a good day!
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.
