I have a ThL W8, running GravityMod 1.5 (android 4.2)
I want'ed to try out the face recognition based unlock, so I setup it to recognize my face and its working!
The problem is that I just wanted to check this out, so I tried to pull it off and but I was asking to input a security PIN which was made for a situation you're in a dark area and the camera wouldn't recognize you or etc...
Once I've setup the lockscreen I didn't put 2 much of attention to the PIN and I can't remember it.
I'm used to have this option of "forget PIN?" or something which allows you to reset your password with you google account but it seems missing.
I'd like to cancel it, what should I do?

Hello everyone.
Today I left my phone (galaxy S2) in my cousin's hand, and he tried to unclock my screen lock pattern. After too many attempts, my phone got lcoked and it asked me to sign in using my google account. I did so, and the phone got unlocked.
But when I press the lock button, or the phone gets locked automatically and I press the lock button to unlock it, the "too many pattern attempts" screen comes back again. Also my sim card is not being detected even though its there.
I have tried rebooting the phone, disabling the screen lock patten in security settings, disabling google account. Nothing has helped so far!
When you disabled the screen lock setting, what happens? You could try booting into recovery and wiping cache. If that doesn't work, then you'll probably have to factory reset.
When I disable it, nothing happens, as in it shows that it is disabled on the security settings. But when I press the lock button, the too many attempts screens comes back again. I tried a fctory reset too. Its still there! This is so frustrating!
Flashing a new rom should do the trick.
No you don't have to Flash
Try this please:
It was all about this "Two-Step Verification" security of google!
I tried everything... and I mean EVERYTHING (except flashing my XooM), but at the edge of giving up, I signed into my google account and issued an "Application Specific Password" for Xoom from my Google account.
I used my [email protected] with that Application Specific Password and it worked. (do not enter spaces in the password)
There is one solution
Hello,
I had similar problem with my Motorola Xoom WiFi. My friends was playing with my tablet and they was trying to guess my login pattern. Unfortunately sign in via Google account did not worked and WiFi network was turned off. So I was looking for way how to unlock it without root access.
Finally I found it. I wrote an application which turns on WiFi. It is quite simple. There is one requirement, you have to have enabled debuge mode. After installing app via IDE (eg. Eclipse) WiFi is connected to known network and you can log in with your Google account. There is also possibility to set network parameters in app code before compilation.
I hope this helps someone with this problem. At the end I want apologize for my poor english
Regards...

Sometimes simple is best. If you saved the rom, go into recovery and restore the saved rom.
Hi
I cannot set a working Lockscreen PIN or Password anymore.
What happened, since yesterday my lockscreen PIN was not working anymore.
Im using the PIN now for several months so i'm for shure trying the right one.
I have to use at least a PIN or Password due to security requirements from a configured Exchange account.
Factory resetting did not help either. Was then able to connect with adb and delete /efs/cryptoprop*
This allowed me to use the phone, was also able to set a new PIN or Password but they won't work after locking the phone.
Did then format /system /efs /cache and reinstall, but even after all this as soon i configure a PIN this PIN won't work!
What was working was to set a new Paatern for unlock, but the Exchange account enforces PIN or Password.
Also the text is asking for an unlock password, but the screen shows the number keyboard, not shure if it was like this all the time.
Any idea waht could be wrong?
Did it stop working after you updated to ICS, by chance?
No i did not change anything. Installed checkrom v6 arround a week ago.
I have a problem with my May update Oreo install on a Xiaomi MIA1. I did a clean install of the OS and installed all apps and data back to the phone.
I have set up the fingerprint scanner and pattern. I now find that every time I unlock with the fingerprint scanner, The first press wakes the screen and shows the lock screen. The second fingerprint scan brings up a screen with the pattern and the words "Pattern Required After Device Restarts." as if I have just rebooted the phone. Although I have not rebooted the phone.
I know that I get asked to add my pattern (or PIN if that is set) the first unlock after reboot. It is like Android continually thinks I have just rebooted the phone when I have not.
I have noticed if I delete all lock functions, then reset the Pattern or Pin and the fingerprint, fingerprint does unlock the phone on the first few attempts and then goes back to not locking it without changing any settings.
I set up a new user, set up the fingerprint and pattern and the fingerprint also worked for a few times, then stopped working.
I do not have a third party launcher or lock screen loaded.
The fingerprint unlock was working fine before I clean installed and I think was initially working for a day or so after install.
I am aware that you must enter your pattern or PIN on rebooot... This is not what I am talking about.
Under Settings > Security and Location > Device Admin Apps only Find My Device and Outlook Device Policy is listed. Both apps are unticked.
I have no third party launcher or locking app loaded.
Can someone offer some guidance on how to fix this issue? Surely I am not the only person who has seen this issue. All other searches on the net refer to 3rd party launchers and that is not the issue I have.
Well it seems I am the only person on the web that has ever had this issue. I did a full hard reset and the issue is gone.

No it's just that oem is not very popular here and those that do develop for them would never add their finger prints to it.
Hello,
I'm pretty good at computers but when it comes to phones I'm a dummy. I set a password in my Galaxy S5 running samsung-stang5litre edition 5.0 I just bought this phone and it had this ROM installed. I looked up instructions online for this phone to remove it (settings are not working or showing for this ROM) for this phone model and there are no instructions for this ROM. How do I remove the password or do I have to reset this phone ? If I reset the phone will it still ask for the password ? The person who sold me this phone also changed how this ROM looks and deleted almost every program out of it before I bought it. Please help me.
Found help
Since no one answered back I contacted someone to help me. I'd have never figured this out by myself. I'm so glad for his help. This is what worked.
What you have to do to remove that pin, go to Settings>Lock Screen> Screen Lock> Pattern> Setup any pattern, then setup Pin Code with it after you setup the Pattern. (You already have a Pin set in, just use it). It will ask you to type it in twice.
Now Power Off and Power On the phone it will ask for the pattern, do 5 to 6 wrong patterns, it might time you out for 30 seconds after that, on the bottom right of the phone it will say "use your Pin Code", hit that button, type in the Pin which you already setup while you were setting up your pattern, then use that Pin Code to unlock the phone. Now Power Off and Power On the phone, you shouldn't have any pin or pattern code to unlock anymore.
This worked for me.
I put a pattern lock on my phone and immediately forgot it, so im locked out of my phone. I read on the internet that there should be an option to reset the password by providing the google account information, but this doesnt show up. I must have entered my password almost 20 times and now it makes me wait an hour each time I want to enter a new pattern and only gives me 3 tries before making me wait an hour. But I see no option to reset my pattern.
I found another site that said go to google findmyphone and lock the phone and it will eventually give me access if I enter my account information. So I went to findmyphone on google and there were 3 options, 1. Make noise, 2. Secure Phone, and 3. Factory Reset Phone. So I clicked on 2 to secure the phone, but I think it logged the phone out of google and now google findmyphone says "can't reach device", wtf????
My question is this:
Is Huawei pattern lock broken since it doesnt have the option to reset password or are all android phone like this?
Because the only options I see are to enter my pattern, to make an emergency call, or to go back. There is no reset/recover password option
google says my phone is Huawei Nova. Apparently the model is was-al00. The phone had Android 8.0 and it was up to date with security updates.
I did multiple searches trying to find more information about this but couldnt find anything. I did find an xda thread about someone who forgot their pattern and also forgot their google account information but that was from 5 years ago https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lock-pattern-recovery-email-huawei-y360.3226967/. Maybe the sanctions america put on Huawei have something to do with this?
Hey there! Have you found the solution?
