Hey guys,
I forgot my pin. I'm sure i'm entering the right code but still not working. I tried these options:
1.entering the supposedly wrong pin many times, and hoping it would ask me to sign in with my gmail/google credentials. But it never did.
2.Lock screen byppass pro says: not compatible with device from Google play store.
Are there any options left, have important files on the phone.
Thanks
NAndroid backup
Cwm wipe data
Either try restore data only or manually search nandroid backup for your important files
Good practice is to keep important files on an sd card rather than internal

I really need the data. And dont really want to root the S3.
Wipe cache and dalvik might work.

So you want/need these files, you can't get to the recovery screen but you don't want to take the other steps to get your data..

It's not that bad, just do some reading beforehand. There's even a tool that will do it for you. The Q/A forum is also very inviting I may add
Used samsung dive and I'm not up and running.
Why don't you just connect your phone to the computer with usb and transfer the files on to your pc? Or will it not connect with pin lock on?

It's smarter than that. If you connect in USB with the screen locked securely, it doesn't activate until you unlock it at least once.
OP, is it definitely the phone PIN as opposed to the SIM PIN? Cause there's no reason it shouldn't prompt you to override the phone pin with your Google account info

call your phone from another one and answer it. Once you answer hit the menu button and go to settings and quickly add another email account...Yahoo, hotmail, whatever. Can't hang up until done and have to be connected to Wi-Fi. Once it's stored in accounts you can hang up. go to lockscreen and enter that account as user and/or password. Any account you have stored to phone password will work.
Ok. Here's what I found.
In other words I unlocked it using Samsung Dive.
For some reason it locked and didnt accept my pin.
1.if possible dont use pin because for some reason it simply wont give you the option of forgotten and unlock with your google account.
2.If locked with pin you cant access files via pc.
3.so activate samsung asap and stay away from pin. Maybe this is a bug?

Hi!
On my security options for my lock-screen on my Samsung Galaxy S3, i've been able to choose different options like swipe, pin code, password etc.
Now somewhat, I can't. Anyone familiar with this? It tells me this: "disabled by administrator, encryption policy, or credential storage".
I would appreciate if someone would help me out here, as I want to change this. Thanks.
Try forcing an update of busybox from within the Superuser app. Otherwise, you must have inadvertently changed a setting somewhere.

Got it fixed by deleting all of my VPN networks. Thanks to everyone who took their time to respond me.
This worked for me

Thanks for the post joaksle. Deleting my VPN settings also fixed the problem for me. Weird why these settings caused the lock screen options to be disabled!
It's because corporate VPNs have security policies set by their admins, which cause the device to disable certain features. The same thing happens if you set up an Exchange email account. I think that the policies are set by the company IT admin as per company requirements, so you won't see the same behaviour with every VPN or exchange account. Of course I might be wrong about it depending on the company, so someone please correct me I am. The idea seems to be that pattern unlock and face unlock are relatively easier to crack than a traditional PIN code lock, so they disable these methods and allow only the PIN lock (or more methods depending on the policy).

Hey, I just bought a samsung i9100 from a network company(orange) with the ics 4.0.4 version on it. Sometimes my screen doesn't work, i mean i'm typing and it doesn't respons but after i turn the phone in lock screen (1 time on power button) it works again. Oh, also it move by itself and if i type on contacts for exaple it execute my command and do one extra touch on some porson from my contacts. I'm convinced that it's a software problem but may i'm thinking wrong?

Must be the touch driver crashing....
*clean your screen, fluids tend to crash touch driver and like you mentioned locking, wiping the screen and unlocking will get it working.
If that doesn't work
*maybe it's because of some app you use crashing/colliding check and see you may might have to try un installing the apps which you installed or updated when the problem started to occur.
*if above two failed try performing a factory reset might help .
*finally flashing a new stock firmware will correct the problem if all above methods failed.

Well.....I think you have just found the answer to your question
Remove it and see if it's all good. If not, returning time it is, don't even bother go flashing firmwares. It's a brand new phone.
Good morning. Guys i was thinking that my screen protection isn't a problem because if i lock the screen and i open it again all works. And sometimes when i'm typeing a text message or i'm on browser it seems to type by itself and i'm looking scared .
p.s : i flashed a new stock rom(4.0.3) , i wiped it and i did all i could. the problem is still there.

Have you ever been able to connect in the past to the office router with the device?
If you are certain that you are inputting the correct password and are in range of the router, and trying to connect to the correct router, there is one thing you can try that worked for me.
Input the wrong password, and try to connect. It will fail but gets things moving again.
After this input the correct password and it should connect.
Good luck and I hope this helps!

I'm having the same issue. I'm running a stock ROM 4.1.2 (update received 4 days ago) and ever since I'm having this problem. My router is fine, everything else connects to it and I've checked all settings on it.
I've hard reset my phone twice since Friday and tried everything I've found (and understood). Can anyone provide a solution?
This will be the last Samsung I have as they don't seem to give a crap once they have your money.
You're having this issue since JB?
As far as I know this is not a bug, it's about settings.
Sent from the little guy
Yes. Only since the update. All settings have been checked, deleted and re-entered and it still drops out.

A re-flash won't hurt, I find it odd tho.
You can also contact your carrier and ask them about this (you had an ota/kies update right?
Sent from the little guy
It was an ota update from Samsung. I'd contact my carrier, but so far, every time I've called for something it's been an education for them!
Might try re-flashing over the weekend.

Hello, I have a problem with my Galaxy A5, so, I would enable the reactivation lock and remote control in settings but I can't when I click on the box I am asked to type the password of my Samsung account, so I type my password, then I check the top, enabling location services, after, I leaving the settings and I return to the settings and I see that the reactivation lock is disabled so I just activate it!
I tried to remove my Samsung account but nothing ... Who have the same problem?
I do not understand why I have this problem ... If anyone can help me ...
