Running stock unrooted.
Woke up this morning and fingerprint isn't recognized (I have 2 index fingers and 2 thumbs registered), then says the backup password is incorrect..
Try to sign into Google from the phone and says that my Google account password is incorrect despite me using the same one from a PC.
Any ideas? Prefer not to wipe.

My friends phone got locked after his younger brother entered several unsuccessful pattern attemps. The phone asks for the google user pass but after entering says wrong user/pass.. He is on ICS (Omega ROM). The wifi was off, so is there any way the wifi can be turned on? The screen doesnt let the user do anything (cant pull the notification menu etc)
I flashed the ROM again but still same message..
I know I can wipe all data and it'll be fixed, but the friend doesnt want to lose his data (lots of pics/videos) etc. So someone help please
the phone is rooted btw
Wipe & tell your friend he's learned a very valuable lesson about making regular backups (given they take all of 5 minutes & require maybe half a dozen button presses).

data on Internal SD doesn't get deleted with factory wipe. Only sms will be lost. Contacts are backed up in google accounts.
Thanks. Wiped and installed the Rom again had the backup of sms and contacts. He is happy none of his files got deleted

WRONG. The phone doesn't just lock itself for 30 minutes -it's gonna stay locked forever unless you enter your Google account's password. It happened to a friend of mine (I was the one who locked it) and because he didn't remember his password his phone remained locked for 3 weeks until he finally remembered the password. During that time he could only receive and answer calls but nothing else.
Hey guys, i have installed a unofficial Cyanogenmod 11 kitkat 4.4 custom rom and i am very satisfied with it.
But today i was just messing around the lock screen options and i choosed a 6x6 pattern and applied it. But unfortunately after an hour or so i realized that i totally forgot the pattern i choosed. And now when i write the pattern 5 times wrong, it just locks for 30 seconds and i can try again but i cant reset it with my Gmail or anything like that, it just keeps locking for 30 seconds after 5 wrong attemps. Would re-installing the rom remove the lock screen? Or maybe a factory reset? Or can i just remove the pattern in any way? Any help would be appreciated!

You can always do a factory data rest and lsoe all your settings and installed apps.
Haven't experienced this before but a quick search led me here: http://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/ho...u-bypass-android-pattern-lock-screen-0138807/
Worth a try.
In the stock rom when you forget your pattern you can unlock via google account but unfortunately cyanogenmod doesn't have this feature, i also tried the command prompt solution but it didn't work, i got errors like "cant path to xx" or cant delete gesture.key because it doesn't exist, but anyway the factory reset did the job. Thank you guys!
A solution that worked for me
Well, I've logged into Google play, got into "device manager" and then selected "lock".
Essentially, it asked me to define a new password, and shortly afterwards ( probably after the push notification was sent) I was able to unlock with the new password.
I am on oxygen os 3.1.2 with stock recovery. I reset my google password before hard resetting my phone and flashing the 3.1.2 update manually.
Now, google wont allow me to go pass the initial account setup, it asks for username and password of previous user. I am the user, username is correct, but, it simply wont accept the new password. OTP screen pops up and it simply says' login with account previously associated with this phone' what is the way out.
I tried the trick of long pressing a text in the setup screen and I was able to go to settings and also able to access chrome, I tried and installing google acount frp tool, but, to no avail

Hi I'm from Philippines yesterday I updated my firmware via Smartswitch to 6.0.1 latest I assume. Now after that the phone is slow so I decided to do factory reset, afterwards initial setup as usual, It asked me for my google was able to comply, however, when I tried my previous Samsung account it says Processing failed. I tried using my other Samsung accounts but didn't work. Tried flashing to downgrade however I am encountering fail status on Odin. I hope someone can assist me on this one thanks!

1st its impossible to downgrade. You have to stay on 6.0.1 you can't go back. Processing fail on samsung account means incorrect username/password. You need the correct samsung account otherwise you wont be able to get on even if you flash another firmware. Can i ask did you use a googlemail adress for your samsung account? I ask because i had this problem and i had to put my email in samsung account as gmail.com not googlemail.com
Not sure if this was ever resolved, but I'm having a similar problem; I just created my Samsung account, but now I can't access it, even with correct email and password. Get the error message "processing failed." If I try another password, it tells me "invalid username or password," so I know there's a problem with the link to my account.

I had this problem and it was weird. I was putting my email as @googlemail.com which was in fact correct. I kept getting processing error. I tried @gmail.com after 2 days of trying and it accepted it.
I've been trying for a few days now, finally decided to call Samsung and have it sent off. They should be able to unlock it.

That's why it failed in the first place. Do not try that.

Hello, I did a factory reset this morning, on the first boot phone asks to configure the wifi settings as usual, then gmail account, after checking account it asks me to log in with one account that was previously sincronized on the phone (wich is the same account I tried to log in in the first place and the only account ever used on this phone) I tried several times but no succes, always the same, after login with the google account it goes back to "check your account" I don't know what else to do, the phone is on stock marshmallow 6.0, bootloader is locked. If I log in with my google account on PC, I can see that the phone conected with that account, dont know why this is happening, I've made factory resets on my moto g3 several times and never had this problem before. Hope you can help me to solve this
