In my personal experience with my S3. I had to enter recovery mode using key presses and do a factory data reset to restore functionality of the phone. If you could tell is which phone you have we may be able to point you in the right direction.
Hope this helps if it does :good:
Thanks

Hold the vol down and power button as you boot scroll using vol down untill u see android recovery and push vol up once that goes into rcovery hit the bottom left or right of the screen and use the vol buttons to navigate with the power button as the selecter choose factory reset/data wipe

unlock a bootloder if it's locked...that should clear everything...
Results? I think its good information to have in hands, cause **** only happens when you least expect. So lets be prepared. Also I have an awlfull memmory, and yes I do use patterns for lockscreen!
Please post if any of the methods above worked.
Thanks.
You thiefs.
Stop stealing peoples phones.
Boot into droid recovery and wipe data
I changed the lock screen code on my phone and need help to recover or reset it any help would be appreciated its the samsung galaxy 3 sph-l710 thanks in advance!
I think after several failed attempts it will prompt you to input your Gmail account. Let me test for you and see if it does.
Edit: And that was a resounding failure on my part. I'm not sure what you can do besides maybe doing a factory reset through Odin? This is my first Samsung phone so I'm not familiar with Odin yet.

I don't think a pin code security will ask for gmail after a few failures like the pattern security will, if you have a nandroid, then maybe restore. I don't think security settings will stick across nandroids yet.

thanks you your input. i've tried over 50 x's lol and it has yet to prompt me for my e-mail. and the phone is still new to me and i have not rooted yet. so no nandroid for me. im on the phone with sprint as i type this. I will report back my results for others to learn from my mistake
Can't you still access your recovery to perform a factory reset? Turn the phone off, then hold vol up, home, and power until the Samsung screen flickers, and when your stock recovery opens there should be an option for factory reset. If not just choose reboot to system. You'll have to set everything back up but at least you'll be able to access your phone again.

Assuming you are using one of the old Venusaur/Ivysaur ROMs, then not unless you have USB Storage and/or USB Debugging Mode already turned on and can connect with a USB and copy out the files you want. You might be able to mount the storage volumes from recovery and mount them and access them via PC
Don't know pattern lock, don't know email/password, and if USB debugging is disabled and none of the above work, you might be out of luck and will just have to factory default from recovery.
Thanks for reply I just found another way to solve this problem. Thanks anyways.

Well, how did you solve the problem?
This rom has the option to open the setting in the upper left corner. When I saw that option I went to security and then clean all credentials and that's it. Phone screen unlocked. In this times it was good but i think this is bug and very insecure cuz anyone could see all my info.

I changed the lock screen password on my device after entering a new one when encrypting the SD card. Sadly, I forgot where I put the note with the new password and I have locked myself out of the phone.
I have tried everything I know to get to some type of back door, but without any success. And there doesn't seem to be any info out there on how to get past the lock screen without doing a factory reset. Does anyone know of a way or a tool I can find which can get me past the lock screen? I currently have the a rooted SCH-i605 running 4.3, which I removed all the bloatware and rogue apps from, and I would hate to have to start all over again. But unfortunately, the only thing I can think of to so is to wipe it clean and start from scratch..
If anyone has been through this and knows a tool or a work around to my issue, please let me know ASAP!
Thanks
I think factory reset is your only option if you can't remember the password. If there was a work around, encrypting the phone would be a worthless feature.
Sorry mate,
