I got an old NEt10 LG phone on android 2.3
and I forgot the logon info on it. (I do know the pattern pin code)
what happened is this is for my son and I got alot of apps and stuff set up on it but he was playing with it and used up the limit on the pin pattern unlock.
now it is asking me for a name/pw to unlock. problem is it have no internet access (never put wifi on it) and I don't remember the name/pw it is used under
can anyone help? if it can get me back to the pattern unlock then I can just unlock it.

Hello, i think it's not becoming clear from the title, but i don't know how exactly to name it. I have a corporate email set on my Xperia S. Since the email is corporate, i had to set Pin Unlock, which is something i don't like at all - especially when i'm driving. Is there a way to trick the security settings or the android to think that i'm using pin code unlock, but instead to use the normal unlock screen? The only possible unlock solutions which i have now (having in mind that the device security is managed by the exchange service) are pin or password unlock.

Did I get that right? You want Android to think you have a PIN, but don't want to enter the code?
You could make a delay until lock, so if your phone switched off, and you turned it on again after a minute, it's not locked yet.
Actually it's almost as you say - i want to be able to lock it and use the normal unlock slide instead of entering a pin, without having to remove the device security setting - basically trick the phone that a pin unlock is used. I still want to be able to lock the phone, since otherwise it's not sleeping properly and is reducing even more the already short battery life.

I don't think it's possible.
Hi, I have a problem, this morning trying to unlock the phone (HTC desire 820) I received information that the pattern was incorrect. The formula is 100% correct. Finally, after a few phobe resets, the pattern came in and I have access to the phone, but now to turn this pattern off I have to provide it again in Security options, but it does not work again. What to do to get rid of this pattern? I have access to the phone and have to wake up every 15th time so that the pattern lock does not turn on again. I do not have ROOT. Please help
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.

Hi,
I kept my phone pin shirt pocket. It registered some unknown fingerprints with touch of my skin and it is locked. This happens daily and I unlock the phone with PIN.
But today I am unable to unlock it even with correct PIN. Even restarting or shutting down the mobile is asking for PIN. Not even getting any forgot pin, or forgot password options.
How to unlock the phone without losing data? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Find my device is working from my PC. But it is only showiwng options to ring or erase device. I can ring the device. But not seeing any other options to reset or change PIN
