Cannot Login in Motoblur, help plz!

Hello Everyone!
Just got a Atrix over ebay, inserted my sim and now I cannot seem to login via Motoblur
Since I had the account on it previously ( on other atrix ), I skipped the register button also, now I cannot even go back, every-time it greets me with moto blur login window and even though my username and password are correct and I am connected to a open wifi, It always tell me that the username or password is wrong.
What to do now? I am stuck
Try login from pc .
Thanks for the quick reply.
But yes, I am able to login on a pc but not on atrix.
Anyone else please? Any ideas? I am using this outside of US, so that can be a problem, any way to get around it?
I would try flashing a new ROM either by CWM or using RSDLite.

+1 master reset. The other persons moto account is on the phone. The reset clears all data. Power off phone, hold down volume button and power on the phone. When the m shows up with fastboot in top left corner, press volume down till you get to recovery, then press volume up. You will see the android logo in a triangle, press both volume buttons to open menu. Select master reset from menu.

[Q] Flashing An Android Device w/o Inside Acess

I am helping my neighbor who just received a Droid Incredible 2 (The gsm and cdma version) From verizon from his mother who found it (This has nothing to do with me!)
The thing is that the phone is locked with the drawing access code thing and well we dont know what the pattern is odviously.
And i read previously on Gizmodo on an article about if you forget you password on your smartphone and on Android it said that you can Bypass the password screen.
BUT we must download the app for that and we have no System acess
So i told him that if we root it and install a CFW (Cyanogenmod) that the phone would be wiped out and that it'll run awesomely.
But we must enable USB Debugging mode in the device....
So what the question is that is there a way to externally Nuke (Im a blackberry user x-x and android fanboy) The device just like BBSAK can do and reinstall the OS?
Thanks you all,

Security Flaw Makes It Easy To Bypass Verizon Droid Screen Lock
I'm a noob so I can't post links. Search for "android lock screen glitch" several sites talk about calling the phone to reset the password.
If all else fails there is always the Hard Factory reset. It will erase all data on the phone, but you at least can use it.
good luck.

Factory reset will work.

How can i reset the lock screen pin i forgot what i put?

I changed the lock screen code on my phone and need help to recover or reset it any help would be appreciated its the samsung galaxy 3 sph-l710 thanks in advance!
I think after several failed attempts it will prompt you to input your Gmail account. Let me test for you and see if it does.
Edit: And that was a resounding failure on my part. I'm not sure what you can do besides maybe doing a factory reset through Odin? This is my first Samsung phone so I'm not familiar with Odin yet.

I don't think a pin code security will ask for gmail after a few failures like the pattern security will, if you have a nandroid, then maybe restore. I don't think security settings will stick across nandroids yet.

thanks you your input. i've tried over 50 x's lol and it has yet to prompt me for my e-mail. and the phone is still new to me and i have not rooted yet. so no nandroid for me. im on the phone with sprint as i type this. I will report back my results for others to learn from my mistake
Can't you still access your recovery to perform a factory reset? Turn the phone off, then hold vol up, home, and power until the Samsung screen flickers, and when your stock recovery opens there should be an option for factory reset. If not just choose reboot to system. You'll have to set everything back up but at least you'll be able to access your phone again.

Rooted Verizon Droid Razr PIN Screen Problem Help PLEASE!

Rooted and running 4.2 if my memory serves me well.
I broke the screen on this one and it had been out of commission for a while before being repaired.
Did not set same screen unlock PIN on my interim replacement phone, forgot the RAZR's PIN by the time I repaired it.
Need to unlock it and I do not believe USB Debugging was or is turned on.
I did activate it hoping the "forgot your password" gmail prompt would appear. No dice.
I need information off this one and unlocking it via the clean wipe methods is not an option.
Can anyone help? I'm near Nashville and would gladly pay for assistance.
Should the RAZR give the "forgot password" prompt, if activated, and after X number of failed attempts to enter the PIN screen lock? If so, how many attempts should make that happen?
If not, and mine didn't after many failed attempts, is there any other boot method or means to turn this device on that will allow me to go into it and wipe out or change the PIN screen lock?
If so, should Minimal ADB and fast boot work?
Am I the only one that finds these "confirm I'm not a robot" "recaptcha" images nearly impossible? I'm looking at them on a 23" HD screen too. The audio for them, seriously???
Is there any way to get those removed? Countless attempts failed and just to make one post took over ten minutes once it was composed. These are extraordinarily difficult. Please?

Will the RAZR not give the "forgot password" option, if activated, that allows you to bypass the PIN screen and unlock it via gmail?
Wiping it isn't an option, I need the information on it much more than I need the old phone.
Is there any other way?
What is up with these recaptcha images? Did I somehow mess up creating an account by not using G+ or something? Those things are brutal.

Locked out of phone by "Find My Device" app

Hey all. I originally posted this in the Mate 9 forum inadvertently but meant to post it here.
My wife and I both have the Mate 10 Pro. She lost hers at work several days ago. I located it using the Find My Device app. I also locked it so nothing in it was compromised just in case she didn't find it. She ends up finding the phone and can't unlock it. She brings it home for me to take a look at and I notice that I can't even input the whole password before it shows up as invalid. Apparently the input limit is 16 characters and the password I used when locking it remotely was 17 characters. I offered to factory reset it for her but she said no because she has a bunch of pictures on there she doesn't want to lose. Basically, her cloud photo storage is full and the last month and a half of pictures haven't been backed up. Is there anything I can do to at least retrieve her photos?
Has it ever been connected to a PC and ADB permission granted? If so connect to same pc and pull the content you want to back up. Otherwise it might be a question for Google. Also factory reset may not work in it's locked state due to recent Android anti theft measures.

Thanks for the reply. The only time it's ever been connected to a PC was using HiSuite to back up the phone before a factory reset a few months ago. I just feel bad and was hoping to fix it. I did post up a question on the Google help forum and haven't received a response. I guess I'll just give it several more days and if I can't figure out a resolution, I'll just factory reset the phone and see if I can at least get her phone back to her. I don't think she cares for the battery life of my old HTC 10... Thanks again.
If the password is too long then make her request a password change bro it's common sense.
I appreciate the input. I will try again when I get home but I'm almost positive you can only set the password one time through the "Find My Device" app. Once it's set, there is no changing it.

I think It uses the same password as the google account that locked it. also try to log in on another phone or computer and try to see if you can unlock it, also the limit is 100Characters for google password So I don't think that's the problem.

So, just for the sake of clarity, I'll explain in more detail. My wife never uses a screen lock or password on her phone. When I "secured" the device using the Find My Device app, I put in a password to lock it. That password is 17 characters long. When the phone boots up, it asks for a password. The problem is, the phone will not allow me to input more than 16 characters. I tried truncating the password and that doesn't work either. I've tried her google password and it's a no-go. I've tried connecting it using the HiSuite software but the software doesn't see the phone. I've asked on the google help forums and haven't received any response.
Currently, my wife is using an old phone and I'm trying to find a workaround. Using the Find My Device app right now and it doesn't see the phone, so there is no option to relock with a different password (don't think that is possible anyway).
I have tried to do the same thing on my phone now and it is asking for the unlock PIN, the same PIN what I use after restarting the phone.
So, I can not believe that your phone does not accept that PIN/password because the password can be up to 32 characters long.

yea something seems fishy here OP must have stole it or found the phone and the real owner have it locked it, so there's "supposedly" his wife is the owner of the phone she is the one who locked it first so I don't see the problem with her unlocking it because to lock it it must be done from a computer or a different phone.

Thanks for the accusation. You sound like a fun person to be around. I, me, myself, locked the phone through "Find My Device". I only did that because she did not have any type of screen lock/password/PIN on the phone. Once the phone was rebooted, "Find My Device" couldn't even locate the phone again. As far as the other comments about password length, all I can say is I locked the phone with a password (using my computer) that was 17 characters long and when typing said password into the phone, as soon as I hit the 16th character, the phone said invalid password. Apparently I'm not the only person that's had this issue...

To everyone else, I appreciate the help. I just ended up wiping it. My "wife" isn't too mad at me. Just lost a bunch of pictures of our kiddo.
