Hi All,
I restarted my LG G5 phone and It got to the "enter PIN" @ Secure start-up (after LG Logo ) and the PIN I've always used was invalid. I'm pretty sure I never changed my PIN, but I've used 15 of 30 guesses trying any number that I might have changed it to, and none work. I usually unlock my phone with my finger print, but that isn't possible because this isn't the standard unlock screen, it's the screen before the phone even fully boots up. It's not connected to the internet yet so I can't reset it via Google and there's no "forgot PIN" option.
I don't recall installing or updating new applications recently
Can you help please ?
Thanks,
Rami

I doubt it but you rooted and twrp backed up? If not your pretty much screwed far as your data on phone. Going to have to factory reset it. I've tried all google tricks in book with that problem, but nothing worked.

Try just one space, or just a '0'. If it doesn't work, one way I've found of getting the network ON when in "secure boot" mode is by doing an emergency call (Dial 112 or 911) and then hanging up. It should enable the network and data connection, but it won't be traceable trough "Find my device". Just to let you know, you CANNOT reset the PIN with your Google Account. It is an extremely flawed function that never worked except for pattern lock. It will let you enter a new PIN or password, but will just tell you that it can't reset it since there is already a password/PIN set.

Excuse me, but how did your situation end, could the secure start-up jump, or did you lose your data?

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if it was possible to reset the unlock pin, I understand it brings a little forgot pattern thing up if you use an unlock pattern, however it doesn't do this if you use a PIN afaik. I changed my pin because my little brother had figured it out and I didn't want him to screw around with it, but then forgot it when I tried to get into it later. Panicked for a while and then managed to get in with the bypass lock screen app in the marketplace. Before that I had tried entering the wrong pin like 80 times in hopes it would let me enter my google account or ask for a PUK. Unfortunately it didnt so I gave up and tried like 70 different combinations of what I thought it would've been. Now I've also used that disable lock screen app from the market to make sure I dont get locked out of it again, however I was wondering if it's possible to now reset the pin now I'm into the phone. If i can I'd like to change it to a pattern so I don't end up in this predicament again, I assume I have to factory reset, and if so is there a way to do a complete backup that includes everything except say settings, so it would manage to reset the PIN. It would be a huge headache to factory restore and do all of my customizations over again, not to mention re-downloading every single app.
Thanks,

Now that you are in...
Can't you just go into settings>Location and Security and select pattern?
how to remove the Unlock pattern?
I have galaxy s2
i have the pattern unlock in a phone and i forgot the pattern.
i need to unlock the phone asap also i dont have the gmail account that asks in there.
plz help what to do?
or how to factory reset(hard reset) or reset at boot time?
Thanks
Hello everyone.
Today I left my phone (galaxy S2) in my cousin's hand, and he tried to unclock my screen lock pattern. After too many attempts, my phone got lcoked and it asked me to sign in using my google account. I did so, and the phone got unlocked.
But when I press the lock button, or the phone gets locked automatically and I press the lock button to unlock it, the "too many pattern attempts" screen comes back again. Also my sim card is not being detected even though its there.
I have tried rebooting the phone, disabling the screen lock patten in security settings, disabling google account. Nothing has helped so far!
When you disabled the screen lock setting, what happens? You could try booting into recovery and wiping cache. If that doesn't work, then you'll probably have to factory reset.
When I disable it, nothing happens, as in it shows that it is disabled on the security settings. But when I press the lock button, the too many attempts screens comes back again. I tried a fctory reset too. Its still there! This is so frustrating!
Flashing a new rom should do the trick.
No you don't have to Flash
Try this please:
It was all about this "Two-Step Verification" security of google!
I tried everything... and I mean EVERYTHING (except flashing my XooM), but at the edge of giving up, I signed into my google account and issued an "Application Specific Password" for Xoom from my Google account.
I used my [email protected] with that Application Specific Password and it worked. (do not enter spaces in the password)
There is one solution
Hello,
I had similar problem with my Motorola Xoom WiFi. My friends was playing with my tablet and they was trying to guess my login pattern. Unfortunately sign in via Google account did not worked and WiFi network was turned off. So I was looking for way how to unlock it without root access.
Finally I found it. I wrote an application which turns on WiFi. It is quite simple. There is one requirement, you have to have enabled debuge mode. After installing app via IDE (eg. Eclipse) WiFi is connected to known network and you can log in with your Google account. There is also possibility to set network parameters in app code before compilation.
I hope this helps someone with this problem. At the end I want apologize for my poor english
Regards...

Sometimes simple is best. If you saved the rom, go into recovery and restore the saved rom.
Hi Guys,
As the title is suggesting, my phone has been locked and the only way left to get in to the phone and access my data is using my google account credentials.
I was at a public place and needed to charge my phone so i turned off the data and wifi and set up a pin lock. So later when the phone was charged i tried to unlock it but i seemed to have forgotten the pin. while doing it multiple times i ran out of attempts to be able to unlock the phone using pin. So the only shot i was left with was using my google account info. when i try putting the google info, they show invalid even though i put the correct credentials.
And again my wifi and mobile data are off so even the android device manager doesnt seem to be a way to go.
I tried calling the LG customer service to see if they can help, i explained them the situation and told them i needed my data to stay but the only choice they offered me was a pin that would unlock the phone but also erase everything in it.
Also, I do not have my bootloader unlocked. or anything of that sort.
I will appreciate if anyone can help me getting back into the phone or even helps me to be able to recover the data that i have in the phone. Thank you.
Hello,
I'm pretty good at computers but when it comes to phones I'm a dummy. I set a password in my Galaxy S5 running samsung-stang5litre edition 5.0 I just bought this phone and it had this ROM installed. I looked up instructions online for this phone to remove it (settings are not working or showing for this ROM) for this phone model and there are no instructions for this ROM. How do I remove the password or do I have to reset this phone ? If I reset the phone will it still ask for the password ? The person who sold me this phone also changed how this ROM looks and deleted almost every program out of it before I bought it. Please help me.
Found help
Since no one answered back I contacted someone to help me. I'd have never figured this out by myself. I'm so glad for his help. This is what worked.
What you have to do to remove that pin, go to Settings>Lock Screen> Screen Lock> Pattern> Setup any pattern, then setup Pin Code with it after you setup the Pattern. (You already have a Pin set in, just use it). It will ask you to type it in twice.
Now Power Off and Power On the phone it will ask for the pattern, do 5 to 6 wrong patterns, it might time you out for 30 seconds after that, on the bottom right of the phone it will say "use your Pin Code", hit that button, type in the Pin which you already setup while you were setting up your pattern, then use that Pin Code to unlock the phone. Now Power Off and Power On the phone, you shouldn't have any pin or pattern code to unlock anymore.
This worked for me.
Hi all!
This is my first post, but not for a happy reason.
Briefly, I took my Asus Zenfone 4 screen (broken) to exchange.
The technician (friend that I trust) asked me my unlock pass (PIN) and unlock screen pass too, to restart it for tests. He removed the passwords to work freely. Restarted the phone 2 times, everything ok.
The problem (a bit desperate) is that now, supposedly for no reason, we can't access phone. Says: To start your Android, enter your PIN (Pin, not password, just numbers). Seems like smartphone took a PIN itself.
We tried old PIN few times but says that 3 more attempts and the data will be deleted (!!).
(Note: I had App Lock installed and protected almost all important apps with the same Pin, but I think there's nothing to do with this problem).
The only solution will be reset the system?? Unfortunately I have some files without backup that I can't lose.
There is any original Pin?
Any help is welcomed! Thank you so much!
