Hi, I have done on my S3 encryption in security settings. But on the installation it stopped and rebooted my phone. I come to the screen to put in my password but it don't work.
PLEASE HELP ME. What can I do?
So my daughter got a hold of my phone. "I think" she tried entering the password too many times. Now phone just displays:
Just my Background Picture and this message below.
"To unlock, enter recovery password"
______________________________
Under this message is a Emergency Call button.
I tried my phone password, google password, and Outlook password. All not working. After entering my password, and it is incorrect I get this message:
"You have incorrectly attempted to unlock the phone 1 times. The phone will now be reset to factory default" OK button. (DONT CLICK OK, Just restart phone by holding down power button)
I then just power off and restart. After restart -> Samsung logo -> Verizon logo, it goes back to the "To unlock, enter the recovery password" screen.
Don't want to go to factory default, Any help or suggestions???
Verizon Samsung S3
Verizon just pushed out the KitKat update to my phone last month.
NOT rooted, just stock Verizon ROM.
I can call this cell. I still works. But can't get to regular unlock screen. Always just goes to this Recovery password screen.
Do a hard reset.. no another way
Really... Is there no Default "recovery password". I don't remember setting one up. Any Google work around? I tried searching online, and I don't see anything about this "Recovery Password"... Is this new or do people just not get to this screen?
Well, if there is any Odin-flashable recovery for your phone, you can flash it and then pull important data using ADB. You can also take a Nandroid backup and then use Nandroid Manager to see if you can recover any more data from the ROM.
This will void your warranty.
Bingo... So if anyone is still having this issue, you DON'T have to do a factory reset. I finally solved it (at least it worked for me). Here's how I did it. You need a Google account setup already for this phone. Go to: wwwgooglecom/android/devicemanager (add dots, come on xda, I'm not a newbie -> join in 2009) I tried to Locate and I tried to Ring, they both worked, but you need to do this -> Click the LOCK icon. Then it will try to find your phone. If it does find it, it will ask for a NEW password to "LOCK" your phone. After entering your password, your phone will "LOCK" itself. (Even though it has been locked out already) Once that is done, I went back to my phone and try entering this "new" password I setup in the: recovery password location. It works. Good luck...
Not sure how to mark this Thread as Solved...
Bloody Legend!!
You wanted to say thanks mate.
My S5 has presented me with this screen twice, in the past week! The first time it wiped my phone (and SD card).
Happy New Year!!!

Going to wwwgooglecom/android/devicemanager doesn't work anymore. Now when you try that process, you will get a pop-up saying that the device is already locked and the new password you put in will not be used. You are still required to put in the old Recovery Password. I have wiped the phone and tried to find where one would put in a recovery password and cannot find it.
I contacted Samsung and they told me to use their system. Go to findmymobile(dot)samsung(dot)com and log in (assuming you registered). I logged in, went through the process to unlock my phone. I could see the notification that the unlock was successful, but the lock is still in effect. Samsung support said I would have no other option than to wipe the phone again. I asked how I could get support for the Android lock that was in effect, and they referred me to support(dot)google(dot)com. If you go there, and work your way through the menu, you find that the manufacturer of the phone is supposed to handle Android OS support.
So Samsung has added a proprietary remote unlocking feature, but somehow forgotten to disable the built-in one. Since they have that extra "feature" they won't support the default one.
hello. is there anyone here who knows the hard reset method for softbank 200SH? iwas locked out cold from the screen due to too many pattern attempts. worst is i forgot the gmail i used in associating the device with google and left the usb debugging mode disabled to prevent unauthorized access should i lose my phone. the volume buttons are touch and tap operated so i cant perform the usual hard reset method. pls help.
Hi guys,
I'm experiencing an issue with my google account where I can't log on to access the playstore
When i try to Add a Google Account it gives me this error message.
"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server"
I understand how to solve it with a ROOTED device (adding the # in front of the IP address), however since HUAWEI isn't giving me my unlock code I haven't been able to have any success factory resetting and all
Does anyone here know a method to solve this for a non-rooted mt2?
Thanks
Edit: It initially worked, but the phone was slow so I tried factory resetting it and then after that I couldn't access any google accounts
I dont' know if this is possible but the first time I got the phone from wind I thought boot loader was unlocked and I "rooted" it with kingroot and i was able to use superSU and rooted apps like freedom....... I have no idea how that worked because after I did a factory reset I checked my bootloader was locked (I think it was always locked)
Sorry if I confused anyone other than myself because I'm fairly new to this...haha
Hi guys I'm new here and I'm not english so i apologize for my language, anyway i'm in a bad situation my mobile NGM Dynamic Stylo+ got stuck in the lockscreen, my brother tried several times the pattern and now it is reffering me to the google account login but the real problem is here my keyboard don't want to appear. i tried rebooting and it send me to this login without being able to put pattern.
