Good evening, I have a problem with my Android phone, I wanted to make a backup of the phone without being root. trying adb I noticed a request to complete a backup password, but I do not reminder me if I had already chosen a password in the past. I would like to know how to reset the password. thank you in advance and sorry for my bad English, I'm French.

So,
I have a Galaxy S2 with Android 4.1.2...
In order to read the corporate email on my phone I had to install airwatch..
When installing that, it requests me to encrypt my phone... it failed every time, so I decided to reset my phone and have a fresh version of my software. ..
After the reset, the first app I installed was airwatch and guess what? It failed again....
I was very disappointed and I installed the rest of my apps (phone is now rooted as well).
Is there any way I can "fool" this app to think the phone is encrypted? Or how can I encrypt my phone to "make airwatch happy"?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
Long story short i deleted my data/app file(accidentaly). Sony xperia S android 4.2.1 i think... Dont ask how that happened. So right after i deleted it by mistake everything started crashing many apps stopped working. Immediatly after doing that i restored a restore point and rebooted. As you would expect my phone is password protected, but when i klick the password slot id doesnt show the keyboard nor the option to change keyboard because i was using swift key keyboard. Now i cannot enter my phone, so i think that i should do s factory reset but i cant do that. I know that i saw a factory reset option on the sony software updater on my pc because i wanted to update my phone. Also when i tried to root my phone i could not flash it some broken driver issue (was not able to fix) so i finally rooted it with the root tool kit. Well please help me with this. Also i assume that the restore point didnt work. Please help :crying: :crying:
Hmm. So you deleted your /data/app folder and most of the apps are gone? Whoops! lol And you are rooted. Do you have a custom recovery? I'm assuming so since you said you tried to restore a backup, is that correct? It would probably just be easiest to factory reset in recovery as that will remove the password and then when it boots, you can restore the keyboard app. Other option is trying to remove the password in recovery (has to be custom) with adb commands as you won't be able to while booted due to the password.

Well the thing is that im not near a pc for the next few days, but i have a tablet which has the device input to usb output cable. So i was wondering if theres a app that turns my android tablet into a keyboard for my phone. Ive been looking but only found bluetooth and wireles keyboard wich wont do me any good since my phone is locked. Also is there an app that could hack my phone since its rooted.
Pretty sure you're out of luck without the PC.

hey guys please help me,
I got an Xperia Z from my Friend rooted and all that. he wants to lock that someone can wipe his system, so i flashed him twrp and locked it with an Password theme, whichs is working.
Problem is although it asks for an password if you boot into the recovery directly, it still wipes if i reset the phone with my normal settings.
can someone please tellme how can i rmove or disable or hide the Backup and Reset Tab in the Settings of the Xperia??
Thanks in Advance tho
You can set up a passcode/PIN/Pattern/etc to stop access to the Settings app itself, but have never seen a way to hide 1 specific thing in the Settings. If the phone is encrypted with a password, I think it requires the code before resetting, but am not 100% sure of that.
Guys i really need you!. I need your help please!
I need help. yesterday I bought the phone LG K8 4G 6.0 android and when I turned on for the first time, I wanted to choose a language and google email.But my google email was something like "[email protected] random numbers just to move on. I did that just to finish it quickly.It was for the first time i enterd my phone normaly. But here is my problem. THen in a while, i got update from android. I restarted the phone and done a factory reset. Now when I start the device it ask for the language, wifi connection and ask me to login with a google account previously synced with the device. What the hell? I cant remember my random google email only password. And i didnt enter my phone number when it asked, i just skipped it. Now i need your help guys how to enter my phone? This is not really end of my brand new phone right? Please!
I HOPE your skills will help me
NOTE. That was my first time on 6.0 android. BEfore that, i had only 4.4.2. I didnt know that google have that security measuers.
Hello,
First of all, thank you to your community for proposing more and more choices for our devices.
I just acquired a Lenovo vibe k5 + on which I installed the official buying nightly of LinageOS without any problem thanks to your numerous tutorials.
Afterwards I encrypted the whole of my phone (already having a password to unlock the screen and which must ultimately be the same) via the QWERTY keyboard, the operation is done well and my Phone reboots.
At restart, it asks me the password that I entered for the encryption in order to launch Android but with a keyboard in QWERTY! I am afraid, but I enter the password on this keyboard and without any problem it starts Android (I speak well of the first reboot following the encryption)
However, I had to restart my phone a few hours later, and he asks me for the password to launch Android (normal), still in QWERTY, except that this time the password is no longer accepted ??!
Is there a different "coding" between all these keyboards?
And especially, can I reinstall my backup from the: Android system Recovery Basic (not the TWRP) ??
Thanks in advance for your lighting.
