Keep trying until it locks you out, then it'll ask for your google account password assuming you set up your google account with the phone otherwise it's repair time.

If you added your google account to the phone then it doesn't matter if the phone is offline or online, it stores your credentials, if however you didn't do so well I'm afraid you've locked yourself out of your phone and will have to perform a factory reset, remember there is a reason why this is necessary, it's so if someone steels your phone, they can't get your information.

Hey guys,
I forgot my pin. I'm sure i'm entering the right code but still not working. I tried these options:
1.entering the supposedly wrong pin many times, and hoping it would ask me to sign in with my gmail/google credentials. But it never did.
2.Lock screen byppass pro says: not compatible with device from Google play store.
Are there any options left, have important files on the phone.
Thanks
NAndroid backup
Cwm wipe data
Either try restore data only or manually search nandroid backup for your important files
Good practice is to keep important files on an sd card rather than internal

I really need the data. And dont really want to root the S3.
Wipe cache and dalvik might work.

So you want/need these files, you can't get to the recovery screen but you don't want to take the other steps to get your data..

It's not that bad, just do some reading beforehand. There's even a tool that will do it for you. The Q/A forum is also very inviting I may add
Used samsung dive and I'm not up and running.
Why don't you just connect your phone to the computer with usb and transfer the files on to your pc? Or will it not connect with pin lock on?

It's smarter than that. If you connect in USB with the screen locked securely, it doesn't activate until you unlock it at least once.
OP, is it definitely the phone PIN as opposed to the SIM PIN? Cause there's no reason it shouldn't prompt you to override the phone pin with your Google account info

call your phone from another one and answer it. Once you answer hit the menu button and go to settings and quickly add another email account...Yahoo, hotmail, whatever. Can't hang up until done and have to be connected to Wi-Fi. Once it's stored in accounts you can hang up. go to lockscreen and enter that account as user and/or password. Any account you have stored to phone password will work.
Ok. Here's what I found.
In other words I unlocked it using Samsung Dive.
For some reason it locked and didnt accept my pin.
1.if possible dont use pin because for some reason it simply wont give you the option of forgotten and unlock with your google account.
2.If locked with pin you cant access files via pc.
3.so activate samsung asap and stay away from pin. Maybe this is a bug?

Hey people,
This happenned this morning, I was getting ready for school.
Unplugged my phone (Xperia Sola) from the charger and i layed it down on my wallet.
When I wanted to go to the bathroom but my phone was suddenly recognizing a new tag.
So I checked every card I had in my wallet to check wat it was detecting.
It turned out to be my ID-card ( It's a european ID-card ) and I can use it as an NFC tag just like the ones from Xperia.
This means you can use any RFID tag ( I think it is) as tags using this near field communication.
So I ask my question to a developer:
Could you make some third party app that makes you unlock your phone using one of the assigned Tags?
I think it sound like a great idea and lets check into this and maybe realize it with a developer who is into the Xperia Sola.
It doesn't especially need to be your ID-card, it could be any tag you link with it.
The ID-card just gave me the ID so it can check if your the right person that belongs to the phone.

You can set pin,patern and even face lock.
Still no reason.

It was just an idea for developers so maybe they can do something with it Or maybe as extra boot security when you restart your phone. That you need to swipe your ID past it.

Tasker.
NFC doesnt work on the lockscreen. It is a security feature that is implemented by google. Otherwise nfc could be used to take control of your phone in your pocket and such.
try search 'nfc retag' at play store.. it can be use to set action for that card. but it cant unlock the phone since nfc did not work at lockscreen..
edit: ok.. you can unlock the lockscreen. but you must use 3rd party lockscreen such as go locker.. ive tried it.. you can even bypass the pattern lock security..

Cheak this out Dude.. i m using this...its working on Off screen, Lockscreen as well as Normal also :good::laugh:
Hi!
On my security options for my lock-screen on my Samsung Galaxy S3, i've been able to choose different options like swipe, pin code, password etc.
Now somewhat, I can't. Anyone familiar with this? It tells me this: "disabled by administrator, encryption policy, or credential storage".
I would appreciate if someone would help me out here, as I want to change this. Thanks.
Try forcing an update of busybox from within the Superuser app. Otherwise, you must have inadvertently changed a setting somewhere.

Got it fixed by deleting all of my VPN networks. Thanks to everyone who took their time to respond me.
This worked for me

Thanks for the post joaksle. Deleting my VPN settings also fixed the problem for me. Weird why these settings caused the lock screen options to be disabled!
It's because corporate VPNs have security policies set by their admins, which cause the device to disable certain features. The same thing happens if you set up an Exchange email account. I think that the policies are set by the company IT admin as per company requirements, so you won't see the same behaviour with every VPN or exchange account. Of course I might be wrong about it depending on the company, so someone please correct me I am. The idea seems to be that pattern unlock and face unlock are relatively easier to crack than a traditional PIN code lock, so they disable these methods and allow only the PIN lock (or more methods depending on the policy).

Did you check the spam messages too? Maybe you should just wait. Also, did you try to remove the last number for your IMEI when you have to insert it on the sony's site?
Or just using other email provider?

Hi,
If you are using gmail then you will get it in 'promotion tab ' and not on your inbox , also it will be having subject line as 'Your requested unlock boot loader key' .. so try searching both ways or simply give a different email id like yahoo.

Yes, of course, that's possible. It's a feature. Locking the phone came before locking individual apps.
