I kinda feel that this isn't completely relevant but I'm kind off not doing so good. The other night I changed my phone lock from pattern to pin code (done on the verge of sleeping) and I forgot my pin code. Is there anyway to reset my galaxy player without by passing the lock or something. Its not yet rooted and its a galaxy player 5.0. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
if u mess up on pin more than 5 times, there should be a forgot your password option on the bottom
Did you have android debugging checked in settings? If you did, you can use adb to bypass the lock
I accidentally my Galaxy Player
Hello, i think it's not becoming clear from the title, but i don't know how exactly to name it. I have a corporate email set on my Xperia S. Since the email is corporate, i had to set Pin Unlock, which is something i don't like at all - especially when i'm driving. Is there a way to trick the security settings or the android to think that i'm using pin code unlock, but instead to use the normal unlock screen? The only possible unlock solutions which i have now (having in mind that the device security is managed by the exchange service) are pin or password unlock.

Did I get that right? You want Android to think you have a PIN, but don't want to enter the code?
You could make a delay until lock, so if your phone switched off, and you turned it on again after a minute, it's not locked yet.
Actually it's almost as you say - i want to be able to lock it and use the normal unlock slide instead of entering a pin, without having to remove the device security setting - basically trick the phone that a pin unlock is used. I still want to be able to lock the phone, since otherwise it's not sleeping properly and is reducing even more the already short battery life.

I don't think it's possible.
I got an old NEt10 LG phone on android 2.3
and I forgot the logon info on it. (I do know the pattern pin code)
what happened is this is for my son and I got alot of apps and stuff set up on it but he was playing with it and used up the limit on the pin pattern unlock.
now it is asking me for a name/pw to unlock. problem is it have no internet access (never put wifi on it) and I don't remember the name/pw it is used under
can anyone help? if it can get me back to the pattern unlock then I can just unlock it.
Hello! I'm having a pretty annoying issue with my phone that I want sorted so I'll get straight to the point:
My friend gave me my first ever smartphone not too long ago (an old samsung galaxy s2) but I just can't change the pin code on it. It just won't save the changes I make. I can navigate to the options to change it, input a new pin code, lock my phone again to enter the new code only to find that it hasn't changed at all. Neither can I change it to a pattern lock or any other sort of security lock. It just stays stuck at the old pin code.
I've tried reverting it to factory default numerous times but it doesn't do anything.
Since it's my first smartphone, my experience with smartphones is pretty basic and I need this sorted out asap!
So what's going on with this phone? Why can't I change anything? Help!:crying:

Hello,
I forgot my screen lock pin code, but I was able to unlock the phone using my fingerprint. Now, after many attempts to unlock the phone with pin code, even the fingerprint is not working. Is this a permanent or I can use my fingerprint after a few hours will pass?
Assumed you've signed Google account IMHO the simplest way to reset screen password is with Google account.
