At the top of the security does it say "screen lock"? Select that and select none.

It worked ! I tried clicking screen unlock, and it asked for my password. I got freaked out and just backed out of the whole thing. I didn't realize it was asking me for my password so that I could remove the screen lock.
Haha. Thanks so much. I appreciate the help. Glad I didn't have to refresh the Rom.

I have a sgs2 att
it was messing up and couldnt really do anything on home screen, so i tried reseting it in settings. now it needed a password to factory reset . so I thought reflashing the rom would fix it. I used odin and flashed to a stock unrooted rom, via the 1 click odin flash when its done [passed] your are to factory data reset but when i atempted to in e3 console it asked for a password again ..
if somebody calls me or txt me i can respond and get passed the lock screen onlt to answer the call or txt.but i cant call out or log in.
what do i do now.
Ok !!! i fixed it, this should probbly be a sticky i dont know..
this is what was happening when i was in e3 to wipe factory reset.

after pressing wrong password a few times a bit scared as to what would happen next It finally said wrong password will remove all data. I entered wrong password again and it wiped factory reset it !!
so enter wrong passwords bout 4 times allowed wiping. why couldn't i find this info any ware before ?
Crazy stuff. Never heard of that happening. Sounds like the only thing is to boot into download mode and use odin to flash stock or stock rooted.

I've never run into this, nor have I ever seen a post about it. My guess is that very few people here are even familiar with setting a password to lock wipe data/factory reset, and that few if any would know the sequence you just discovered. Glad you got it sorted out.
thanks for post OP
same thing happened to me today and was annoyed by it but thanks to your post i was able to fix it
thanks again
I do believe a sticky or at least honorable mention should be had about this!

Lol. People install apps to protect their security then forget about it and then complain about it doing its job later. Thaaaaats pretty much it. That, or they bought it from someone else who did and they were unaware.

By any chance, did you right click the batch file and selected "Run as Administrator?" If so, try to just double click the batch file. That's what I ended up having to do for my Win7.

I did, as part of the root process. I'm at work right now, or I'd just run it again. I'll do that anyways when I get home, and we'll see what happens.
Hey my mainver was 3.10.605.07 because i downloaded a ROM with that
anyway I flashed a new rom and opened the android.text and changed it
accidentally to 3.10.605.7 .... so will i have to enter that for every ROM for a long, long time? or will the 3.10.605.13 flash over that when it becomes widely available
if not or anyways: Is there a way to change my phones mainver lower? or am i screwed till a RUU comes out past 3.10.605.7
Thanks in advance
P.S. thanks all Dev's i have flashed almost every ROM on the List

When it updates, yes, your mainver will update to the new one. Until then, though, you can use one of these fixes...

I don't get why people don't just use the "edit the android.text file" fix EVERYTIME they hit a mainver error??
Seems to me that is by FAR the simplest fix, ALWAYS WORKS and it takes about five seconds.
I keep an extra android.text file on my card just in case I need it.

Still the same problem, I tried te reflash it with cache cleared, factory reset, but still no face unlock... Really want this...
i had the same problem try this because it worked for me:
1. switch phone on and off
2. go into camera - front camera - take a picture
3. go to settings/security/face unlock
wahla it should be working now!
hope this helps!
Still the same problem... I hope someone can have a solution...
I was missing the face unlock after flashing to ICS, I had to take a picture with the front facing camera to get the option to show up.
Thanks for that post.
That didn't work for me. I hope that a version from another country will come soon and help.
couldn't find any face unlock in Xperia S. none of these threads works. any new ideas???
I installed the Italian version and got the face unlock now.
Just wondering how accurate the facecunkock is? i.e. if you took yourself smiling, can you still unlock it even when you are not? or how about if you have an identical twin, does it recognise the difference?
