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.

You can recover the password if really know it....
guess its not your girlfriend mobile you spying around....
isnt that bad to use the other people property....
last option would be flash custom kernel...
wipe and recover....

If i use stock rom and use odin to flash it ,Do all the data will be saved?
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.

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.

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

Tried that dont work only way i can get into my phone is to flash cm7 ! For some reason that rom dont see the password from fresh ?!? only thing ive not done is flashed odin and re partioned ?!?
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.

Forgot SGS2 PIN, what are my options?

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.

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.

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.

Im guessing u didnt have remote wipe setup? If he know anything about modding phones he maybe able to get past scanner with twrp. Other wise no hell only be able to wipe the phone. Make a police report asap and report it stolen to ur carrier they can sometimes block the imei and blacklist it.

I have ,but theres no internet ..plus he turned off the phone. He just needs to boot to twrp recovery then wipe data ,reboot then everything is back up but my contents will remain. If that's the case then fingerprint security or any other kind of security is useless...

Well thats the problem with custom recovery its a security flaw only way to be 100 percent is if the phone was encrypted then hed need a password for twrp.
Cuz if there was stock recovery his only option would be to wipe the whole phone not just data
Sorry to hear that buddy. Since a bad experience i always use Cerberus///
Go to android device manager web page and login with your current gmail id that actual login on your stolen phone you can wipe your phone remotely and see on map best of luck

I dont have register any gmail or samsung account/mail.
I dont have enabled usb debugging...
How can i get my photos/videos back? Thats the only things i want!
I tried with adb but it cannot find the phone as no usb debugg is enabled....
Is it anyway to reset it but not to loose my photos/videos? (they are in internal memory)
If i do hard reset will i loose my photos/videos?
If i flash a new rom will i loose my photos/videos?
@deviljin666 If you got gmail lock ,I can help you in that. please be more specific.

Since you have asked "If i flash a new rom...", it means you are aware about TWRP and flashing of ROM and I have flashed many ROMs of Kitkat, Lollipop, Marshmallow and Nougat and I never lost any photos and video, because I never wiped internal storage in twrp at the time of flashing the rom. So, if you do not wipes internal storage and flashes the rom, your photos, video will always be there for sure.

Your reply is bit confusing. What does it mean by "but this one has never been flashed."? I am not getting what is the role of usb debug on/off at the time of flashing rom and if bootloader of the device is unlocked you can flash the rom. As I told earlier, if you do not wipes internal storage, your photos and videos will be safe.
i was clear on what i said. I said that i have flashed other phones and tablets but not this one. this has everything stock.
ok!! thank you all for your valluable information. I Installed twrp and from the twrp`s menu i was able to copy all my files to my microsd
