Hello everyone,
we got this cheap tablet for my niece as a Christmas gift. She put a password on it and now she doesnt remember the password. It is connected to one of my gmail accounts, but I cant even get the tablet to give me an option to bypass device password via my gmail and password.
I have attempted to use the reset button to factory reset the device, but every time it reboots it asks for the password again.
I am about to throw the thing in the trash and tell my niece "sorry, you borked it, too bad so sad" but I thought I would try here before I did that.
Thanks in advance!

I kept messing with it, and after trying the power + volume down process about 25 times I finally got it to take and entered into recovery. It didnt work at all the first bunch of times I tried it, basically this thing is annoying.
Thank you!

So I was having the same problem. It turns out that you do not press the volume up button along with the power button, but instead press the volume button in the middle along with the power button. Found that on a you tube video.
That resets the device to factory settings.
Note: If you have a memory card in the device, take it out before you start all this process so it doesn't lose data.
Sophix Tablet is made by digix media but I didn't find their website helpful to reset the password. Their website had me downloading zip files to my computer, etc. Very lengthy and time consuming.
Hope this helps someone else!

Well, my little brother attempted to enter the pattern seemingly too many times and guess what I was locked out without any way to access my contacts, apps etc.
The phone prompted me to enter my google credentials, and guess what? I entered them only to see it reject it by saying that it was an incorrect username or password.
I kept looking in many forums and found no success even after 10 long hours of searching.
AND THEN....
I decided to GIVE MY PHONE A CALL from my house number. ACCEPTED IT and pressed the "Settings" button and there shows the Contacts, Sim Tools etc. I pressed the contact button only to see the dreaded locked screen again.
But since that was enough to give me hope, I GAVE MYSELF A CALL AGAIN and pressed the settings button again. Only this time I was able to enter into the Contacts menu. I pressed the Home button and was so glad I was able to ENTER MY HOME SCREEN!. I pressed and went to settings---> accounts and sync--->quickly synced my gmail and deleted all other accounts. I locked my phone again by pressing the power button. I ENTERED MY GOOGLE CREDENTIALS AGAIN and THIS TIME IT WORKED!!!
I was so glad that I had recovered my phone WITHOUT ANY DATA LOSS!
I hope this helps many who are suffering from this glaring android bug that is so frustrating.
BTW. I AM USING SAMSUNG VIBRANT with official firmware.
Guaide me please

Hi everybody.
I have recently brought a Nook Tablet. I rooted it,far so good,then i unroot it and here there is the problem.It restart but when i go to register my e-mail and password comes out a notification:"sorry we're having trouble setting up your nook.please shutdown the device and try again.if problem persists,contact customer support at...". I do the hard reset many times, but nothing.I contact the support and they cancelled the e-mail associated(i hope that they did) but the problem persist
What should i do? next week my uncle return in America,and if you can help me quickly i would be grateful,i want resolve, no bring it back. thanks
I did a hard reset....you can find it here on the forum (do a search)
Sound like a deep sleep from NC. Make sure your NT is charged at least 15 minutes. In the case of deep sleep, turn the volume up to hear if the device is on when the screen is not. Hold the power button for 20 seconds, release then do hold the power button until the screen turn on. If it does not work, you can still do a full factory restore even if the screen is not on.
TRY holding vol down + power for around 8 secs
i've done a full factory restore more times. When i register my e-mail with password, always comes out the error. Is not a problem of B&N server? In each case it's possible to root without registration ? maybe start the tablet directly by the micro-sd?
So I was working on my nt and opened tapatalk and the screen went dead. I used the method above (hold pwr for 20 sec, then hold pwr until it turns on) and this worked for me.
I think that the problem is the registration!The Nook starts well, when i put the e-mail comes out the error. I try all ways to reset the tablet but the problem persist
There is a way to start without registration?
so what was the solution? I do have the same problem. Did factory restore a few times but still the same error as andrea89 had. I did root before 1.4.1 update, restored 1.4.0 as here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402190. Rooted again. to get rid of N button inoperative work I restarted 8 times my Nook. and Now the same problem as andrea89...Please help!
I resolved the problem by-passing the registration. Search the video how doing.

this might seem obvious but why not just make another bn.com account?
It isn't obvious because the video is recently. I tried to register with another account but it didn t work.
Another account did not work. I used the video to bypass registration as well. Worked great!
Any possible workarounds for getting off the retrieve pattern lock if you have forgotten a gmail acct? Done doing factory reset via cwm and tried installing stock rom and kernel but it always ends the same way. With customs, I always get a bootloop.

i seems an answer is in the post a few below yours::
Samsung Galaxy SCH-i500 how to bypass "Login with google account" screen?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182268
Quote:
1. Completely power off and power on your Galaxy-S phone.
2. Right after you pass the Galaxy-S and just before the Verizon Wireless logo video ends, immediately tap on the home button extremely fast and repeatedly (at least 4-5 times per second). If the Emergency Call button pops up, click that every now and then (3-5 times) but keep tapping on the home button. During this process your phone may flash the password screen or keypad screen just a few times and your phone will seem to be lagging due to the tapping.
3. Keep tapping until you see your Android home buttons stay steady at the bottom. Voila, you’re in your phone! If the emergency keypad constantly shows up or if it shows the Google account screen constantly, you have failed. The success rate can be around 15-50% so keep trying until it works. (You may want to grab a young phone-savvy guy or girl to do it if your fingers are too slow)
4. Find and run the Settings App and go to Accounts & Sync.
5. Under Manage Accounts, remove all accounts except your Google account.
6. Press your power button off and on and enter your correct Google account information.
7. It will ask for a new security pattern. Enter it twice and you are done!
This solution worked for me. If it does for you, please leave a comment with your carrier and phone model to let others know that it worked!
... but worked just fine.
.
will try this method. will keep you posted if successful or not.
managed to get in. but now theres a new one. somehowmthe owner had a tw launcher installed and im'm stuck on fc error message. if i try to close it, i'm back on the gmail acct retrieval. hmmmmm.....
Looks to me that o won't he able to do the above steps. Hands are too slow. Also found out that it's like a common issue to the sgs stock recovery. Used odin and flashed cwm 2.5.1.x instead amd wipe from there. Worked like a charm.

Hey Guys, I've got a problem with my phone, an Alcatel One Touch Idol 6030a.
Today I was messing around with Android Device Manager, locating my phone via web, and tried the "lock" thing. There, I was asked to enter a password, which I did, and then my phone was locked.
The problem came when I tried to type that password. I just can't, there is an input box, but when I tap, there's no keyboard, no nothing, so I can't enter my password! (See attached pic).
So I started searching the web for help, but it seems today is not my day. Yesterday I change USB mode to "charge only", 'cause I plugged it to my car's stereo and just wanted to charge it.
I never have USB Debugging on, only when I know I'm gonna need it, and today I didn't know :/, son I can't use adb.
I also tried deleting the "gesture.key" file, in /data/system/, via aroma, but nothing happened.
So, as far as I know, my only option left is wiping, but that is something I'm really trying to avoid, unless, of course, there's nothing left to do.
And that would be my question, do any of you know what can I do to disable that darn password lock?
Thanks in advance

Have you tried going into recovery and removing the app entirely with adb? Of course this is assuming you're rooted.

Did you delete password.key also from that ~/data/system ?
If you have not done, then do it again and try.
After you delete, clear cache and reboot. If it asks for password, try to see whether the keyboard comes up.
If it doesn't, try to access without typing anything.
Press thanks if I have helped.
