Hello everyone,
Last night I changed my SGS2 pin without really paying attention to what I was doing, and subsequently forget it 3 seconds later. My phone is rooted, I have CWM and I am using a custom ROM. What can I do? Is there anyway to unlock my phone? I also saw this solution posted in another thread. Will that fix my phone?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Wipe data/factory reset in recovery. If that doesnt work, reflash Rom.

If I backup data before doing this, then recover the data, will I be able to get into my phone? Or will it backup my PIN too?
Login
If you've forgotten your pin you should be able to login with your Gmail account.

Forgot about that.
But first you need to enter the wrong pin a lot of times...

Originally that's what I thought too, but that only works with the pattern, not the PIN. I've entered my PIN wrong hundreds of times and it hasn't given me that option.
Fair enough
So I tested that and you're right. Flummoxed.

Yes. I'd still like to know, if I restore a backup, will I still have my PIN? I'm trying to do this but I have to get around the md5 sum error.

after wipe., restart the phone...and you will get clean Rom like first time
you can delete your nondroid back up (if you forgot the password), make new one again.
tried wiping through CWM no dice, flashed back to generic rom, tried to wipe it through there then it asks me for my password gg.

come on man !!
in recovery:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe chache partition
go to advenced:
wipe dalvik cache
wipe battery stats
restart phone, and wait until is load.
People have reported that you can't remove the password by doing a factory reset. I was quite surprised by this myself, but have found a way to do it. I've never forgotten my password (I have a pattern, rather than a pin/password), but I've flashed a few kernels and have noticed that whatever pattern I use will work, until I set it again.
Try flashing a new kernel and see if that helps. Like I said, I use a pattern so I don't know if it will work for a pin or password.
Good luck mate

Edit: Tried all of the above no dice.

The lock passwords, pins, and patterns are saved on the /efs partition which is not touched during flashing. That is why flashing is not fixing anything
CM7 would bypass it since it uses the original Android lock setup not the Samsung modified.

the singing in to unlock procedure doesn't require any kind of data connection as it compares the credentials entered to the google account already registered in the device without needing a data connection

We tried it many times .Please someone help us.
I'm hesitant right now, cause I might just assume that someone might have stolen a phone and now asks for how to unlock it. But anyways, there was just a piece of information on cracking pattern-lock on xda. Google might help you find it.

For other person who talk about spy.
i said to you guys.I have a shop i fix it to people it's not mine.I make money when i fix it to them.I have a small shop in Iraq.
If the phone has usb-debugging on. You can use adb to delete the pattern. How to do it was on news (of xda) a while ago. You should be able to find to find it from there.

if you flash stock rom without wipe data factory reset , your data'll save and the pattern lock is still the same.
if you wipe it, you will lose your data(but files in storage still the same if doesn't format) at all.
