Under vpn It used to be the put a password. When I put the password it changed to a network VPN(anyone have one maybe to activate it again? Different types of passwords.
By the way there was face recension but it said I had to ask the admin.
Maybe i need a factory reset but I really don't want to loose the root.

Hey Guys.
A friend of mine tried to unlock my phone and made multiple failed attempts and choose some option which now have resulted in the phone being BLOCKED. it is not showing the "normally available option" of logging in via the gmail account. It is asking for a recovery password. I have no idea what that password is as i never set such a password. I have tried all my accounts on the phone. i tried 0000 and 00000000 aswell for the default passwords but of no avail. The screen shows "Recovery password required to unblock phone".
When i give a wrong password it says "Incorrect recovery password.All data will be wiped in line with security policy". As i dont want to do this i turn off my phone and upon restarting it this happens again. I tried removing the battery for sometime.Keeping the phone turned off etc but nothing positive.
Any suggestions on a workaround or what might the password be?

This is the exact same setup as a stolen phone will show . So best advice is return the phone to the network/phone supplier who should be able to reset on evidence of purchase .
Incorrect recovery password.All data will be wiped in line with security policy
Means a security policy has been set up by the owner of the phone .
In case of a stolen phone or such symptoms XDA cannot get involved in workarounds that may be illegal .

Guys its my own phone no stolen thing. it is not on a network. The guy was trying to unlock it and made too many tries with it.
Regarding the policy, i did have my exchange account setuped on the phone which required the pattern lock in the first place. May it had such a policy but i am not aware of that. So any wild ideas?
Regarding unlocking i didnt say "unlock". i said "unblock". this unblock thing has nothing to do with the network unlocks.
Hey!
Changed my lock screen pin today, but apparently entered it wrong (twice?) so it wasn't what I thought it would be...
How do I go about unlocking it? I really don't wanna reset the device or install a new rom!
My Galaxy Nexus is rooted, I have gmail pw, ADB access and pin code...
Please help fast!
Thank you
if the phone still has access to the internet (wifi or data) then once you try to enter the lock pin incorrectly a few times it should ask you to login with your gmail password, which should then unlock the device allowing you to change the lock pin.
Failing that there are methods involving adb, do a search on google as I think some people have unlocked it using adb.
How Can I remove in I717 Enter Pin Cod
When I Go Recovery And Wipe Factory Data then Also Ask to Enter Pin Code ...?
Pleas Give Me Solution Any One Have
Odin a stock image... Why dont you know your pin code?
i say stolen phone...... i remember people doing that with the iCrap 2g!
Demo unit?
Try using recovery factory reset.
Perhaps it has a custom demo unit rom and even if you reset to factory it will persist..
enter the pin and go into settings and set it to not require a pin. if that doesnt work for you then you are screwed and might as well give the phone back
That might be SIM Card PIN, so wiping data or flashing stock system image won't change anything.
If it is, you need to disable it from Location and Security settings.

So my friend was playing around with my Prime today when he shows me he has entered the incorrect pattern so many times that it will only allow me to sign in with my Google account to regain access to it. Im like okay no big deal, ill just sign in change the password and no problem.. Well, I have tried that and it will not accept my log in information.. I know the username (email) and password is right. I can log in from my computer just fine and I haven't changed the password for that account since I've had the tablet. I do not know what else to do..? I have tried putting just the first part of my username, tried entering null into the password box. didn't work.. I believe it might have something to do with the wifi not being on, but i cant turn it on because my tablet is locked! Is there anyway i can use ADB or something to turn wifi on or to let me reset the lock screen so i can enter my unlock pattern? i do know what that is. I would really like to not have to factory reset and wipe all the data.. Thanks in advance!
Sorry I don't know of any other way but the factory reset which wipes all the data off your prime, hopefully someone might know how to fix the problem without having to do the factory reset. I got my Prime from Taipei so when I did the factory reset I could not understand the text due to not knowing how to read the foreign language. Well after trying and failing and trying again it took me about an hour to set the language to English . So if their is no other option but a factory reset be prepared .
Also if you do come across an answer to this problem please share it with us here. Thanks
Device is a SM-N916S from Samsung (Galaxy Note 4 S-LTE Exynos 5433 ver.) for anyone that's wondering. It's current state : Completely stock with no root. USB debugging disabled. No Samsung Account linked to device. Can't change password through ADM. No more guesses left for the password anymore, any more will reset the phone.
So yeah. For the past few days I've been trying to bypass Android Device Manager's remote "Lock" feature that's meant to keep your data safe from theives. As for why? Long story short : I tried to pull a cruel prank on my brother by remotely locking his device through ADM. I have since forgotten the password (it was a random combination of letters and numbers that I thought I could remember, but obviously not.) and trying to set a new password through Android Device Manager just gives me the infamous "Since Google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password you entered won't be needed." error message.
Now, if this was phone that belonged to me, I would just install a custom recovery and remove the password with a password disable zip, but unfortunately, that is not an option here. Oh yeah, I should probably mention that I CANNOT void the warranty (as in trip the KNOX counter) under ANY circumstances and would very much like to avoid a factory reset. Am I out of luck here? Or is anyone here aware of a method that can be used to bypass the ADM lock / or a way to backup data without root access / adb. Thanks.
