thanks for your reply but I already know that and I don't want to lose my data
[SOLVED]
I solved that by myself
I used CWM to mount all the partitions and used (Aroma file manager) App inside recovery to get access to the system files and removed (gesture.key, password.key & other password related files that are located at "/data/system/gesture.key")

I am using SSHDroid to connect to the android from PC via SSH.when I am starting the SSHDroid it showing root : off .I am not getting why root is off and also if it is off how to ON that one.
Then I have connected to Android via SSH from my computer.Now when I have connected to the terminal of android there I am not the root there it showing $ symbol that means I am a normal user ,not the root(#). so my doubt is how to become root.
Is there any way to become root in that terminal or noway we can be root. I need this because I can't able to execute many commands as a normal user.sudo and su is also not working and showing permission denied.
Can any one kindly tell what to do next .This is very important for my project.

I don't think you can become root without knowing the password and with most if not all linux OS, to change the password you have to boot in single session to change that without knowing the password from the start.
You could try login, but still without the password you won't become root.
I know with the iPhone ( dark days of my life lol ) the su password was alpine, try googling around for your devices default root password.
Once you find it, you should be able to change it using, su or sudo passwd and it will ask for current then new password.
If someone else knows the default password or if you even need it, I would gladly sit back and read about it as this is my next project as well.

As i know the default password is admin.but I do not know the password is for root or general user, as when i am giving the password to android in ssh connection I am connection to the general user terminal of the android.
How to be root in this case.Is there any way if yes kindly tell ...
Thanks..

If you don't know what root is, then you had better not mess with it.
Before I answer your question, I want to explain a little about root in the simplest terms.
Running as root you can seriously destroy an OS if you do not know what you are doing, so be careful not to delete something your not absolutely sure about.
ok, if you want to run as root, two ways you can do this.
#1 connect to the ssh server on your phone as the normal user, once connected type -> login press return / enter -> wait for prompt -> type root press return / enter -> type admin press return / enter.
that should make you root.
#2 connect as root and wait for password prompt and type admin and press return / enter.
If either of these methods fail to give you root access, then the android OS has deviated from linux more than I expect or you have the wrong password.
To become root, you phone must be rooted. SSHDroid by itself will not give you root access if the phone isn't rooted. I guess "root : off" means your phone isn't rooted in the first place, hence SSHDroid not able to escalate you to root.
I didn't take into account to ask if the device was rooted, some light reading from the android market may help you understand root more.
Open Google play and search for all about root and select the one listed under apps, install, read and understand what root is.
It may only scratch the surface, but It's a start.

Thanks for you reply again..
Now Let me know what are the commands available for a non root user.
As it is not possible for me to find out a generic rooting solution for all the android as it is different and depends upon the android and phone.
But in my project I may not know which type of android to which i am connecting only ssh command .so I am thinking to do the task what I need in my project after login by ssh using the normal user ,so can u tell me what are the commands that available for a non-root user and a root user.
Thanks
All Linux commands should be available, Google Linux command line for a complete list, basically it is the same as sitting in front of a computer running linux, but with command line only.
As for a generic root, if you have a resound, I suggest following the directions I did to unlock and root with amon ra, my post gives a brief description of the steps I had taken with links.

You’ll have to solicit a dev to help you get a dump and then they can help gaining root possibly.
Su doesn’t work because it isn’t present, no root commands will work at all, you may be able to have a tethered root.
after I came across many amendments on my phone (j7p)
twrp ,root, xsposed, Nonencrypt kernel,deleting systemapps.....
i found that my phone doesnot remeber my wifi paswword /ssid
after each reboot , also after disconnect & connect to wifi ....
I could not determine the cause of the problem.
I restored my efs via twrp, but the problem still present
so i came to a temporary solution, and i posted here in order to be helpfull to others
or if someone have a better solution... so he can guid us
first off all backup your efs and keep it in safe place
now open your phone buildprop it is in your root/system ( you should have root access,afaik) via (buildprop edditor or totalcommander..or other
then scroll down to that string
ro.securestorage.support=true
change the value into false
ro.securestorage.support=false
save it and enter your wifi info...again
try to reboot your phone.. if the problem Disappeared, then it is secure storage issue
here i donot have a specific solution ,since i use a moded kernel
but maybe you can get ride of it by deleting ss-data in efs folder (via total-commander .apk or es file explorer.apk ...)
this file contains decryption of your wifi passwords..., and other
the problem will disappear untill you flash new thing from recovery
here you can take another backup of your efs beside the original one, and give it ashot from recovery after you make Major modification
at last I hope some of Veteran members give us better idea
Thanks a lot. By the way, can you use your front flash with the modded kernel?
It's not working for me.
I don't use it but i want to know if it's an issue with the kernel or i messed up a step somewhere.

sorry for my late reply
j7P doesn't have separate front flash (led) ....afaik
the screen only turn into white when you are using front flash cam
as for me I updated my J7p firmware ...so I am using stock kernel at now
BTW there is no need to modded kernel if U use USBotg pendrive
in clear steps from stock firmware u install twrp via odin
then U can root your phone , put supersu *zip in USBotg pendrive
attach it to your phone, mount this USB in twrp then flash any *zip file... such as SuperSU,,, and then you can install xposed ....
so there is no need to modded kernel , unless you need to get backups for your phone

Bootup password
I cant change ro.securestorage.support value to false... triggers bootup password then it rejects all password, cant get through... I then have to restore my build.prop and give up

you should set it to false
not true
My bad, i mean setting it false. Then some bootup password is required.

NM
since the problem still presnet , so i think it is not secure storage issue
any how there is a new domed kernel without this issue (remembering wifi password)
give it a shot

Im using default ROM and Kernel. I can see wifi passwords now. One of my apps is setting my selinux to permissive I dont know which is it. Maybe its because of my root, im just thankful for it ?
This is mostly common knowlegde by many users and already explained in another topic but in the last couple of days i needed to help some guys with a lockscreen problem like wrong PIN, pattern or password for whatever reason it started.
Instead of deleting some files I made a small flashable zip which can be held on your extSD in case something might go wrong in future
Normally with deleting in twrp file manager : /data/system/locksettings.db you would be good to go.
In other cases you might need to delete :
/data/system/gatekeeper.password.key
/data/system/gatekeeper.patern.key
/data/system/locksettings.db
/data/system/locksettings.db-shm
/data/system/locksettings.db-wal
Anyway, just flash this zip : A2017X_remove _all_ locksettings NEW VERSION due to typo - thnx @dnlilas
......and password, pattern and pin will be removed :good:
Btw, if you have FP + pin, pattern or password and apply this zip, only the FP remain. Pin, pattern or password are gone.
Tested on G version. Should work on U/CN too although in some cases it had no effect. Just try and see
Thanks. It worked on a Note 3 SM-N900P i was unlocking for a customer. Lucky me i was able to install TWRP and it didn't force me to do a factory reset so i could avoid resetting it from recovery menu thus triggering on the Samsung lock status. I guess security on those days was none to zero. I feel confident that the route i took to remove the pattern is not available on newer phones/ android versions.
THX!
Does it also work if TWRP can 't mount the system partition due to password protection?
@raystef66
Just for information: there is a typo in updater-script:
delete("/data/system/gatekeeper.patern.key");
instead of:
delete("/data/system/gatekeeper.pattern.key");

My phone is stuck in "phone is starting" screen, i can open settings app from the quick settings but i cant open any apps from the settings

Removed PIN
My unrooted Samsung S7 edge is pattern locked but I also set my fingerprint on it. Since I haven't used the pattern in a while, i forgot what it was but I can still open the phone with my fingerprint.
I read online of using adb to delete a gesture.key file however on mine it is a gatekeeper.pattern.key file and when I try to use adb to delete it, adb says permission denied.
my question: I don't want to root this phone or install a custom recovery. is there any way to remove or reset the pattern without factory resetting my phone? I do not get an option to reset using my gmail account.
Thanks.
If you can still access the phone threw finger print data why are you not able to go into lock screen and security and change pass key or it needs the puzzle and fingerprint to proceed

Without root you can pull files with adb, but editing or deleting them is out of the question. I've done what you are wanting to do before, but you have to have root or TWRP.

I have a Samsung Galaxy tab s6 which I know to be hacked. I need to prove it was hacked. The person who did it, probably took my phone and entered in recovery mode in order to install malicious APK or unlock the phone.
I entered in recovery mode and used the option "read recovery logs".
It is hard to read it in the screen since there is no search option and the logs are long.
Is there a way I can copy these log files? I know they go to \cache\recovery.
I tried to access this folder using fx App, but I have no permission.
The tablet is not rooted.
Can I get these logs somehow using ADB in recovery? How?
Can I get these logs by rooting the phone first? Won't the logs be lost if I do it?
Is there a hint on what to look in these logs in order to prove someone inserted a USB drive or SD card and installed some .zip?
No anti vírus os detecting malware, but you know, this is not guaranteed to work or the spyware might have deleted itself when the spyer realized I was browsing for solutions. Do you know any other way I can prove I was hacked?
