Guys need help from you guys!
I have a LG Optimus G (E977), I was trying to sync my email (exchange) on PAC-MAC rom (4.3), and asked me to perform the encryption, I selected yes and put my PIN.
The phone rebooted normally and started to encrypt, appeared with the option for me to put in the password, and the phone was saying that the password was wrong.
I went into recovery, formatted all data (data, cache, system) and performed the restoration by LG Support Tool, but it still keeps asking me the password to decrypt the phone.
Currently I can not access neither fastboot nor recovery, he also realizes not reset after several attempts with the wrong password.
I've recently unlocked my bootloader (official method), installed twrp and flashed custom roms along with magisk on my redmi note 4 (mido).
However every time I boot or enter twrp recovery it asks me "To start your android, draw your pattern/password", every time I have to draw the pattern and proceed. Any way I could avoid it at every boot? because it takes long to boot and it's kinda annoying. I know its related to encryption, i have already tried factory reset and wiped internal storage through twrp but nothing works. Also no option to disable encryption in settings>security>encryption. Flashing lazy flasher doesn't work either.
Any help would be much appreciated, Thank you.

Format data via twrp, that'll decrypt the device.

When you choose your screen unlock method, you select "no thanks" on the secure start-up page ( as shown here ).
Also, turning on an accessibility service will disable that too.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I tried "fastboot format userdata" comand and it worked.
Please can you tell me how to use fastboot format userdata command , As i am facing same issue. Pls help.

This will remove any security like PIN etc. But if your device is encrypted then you have to Format DATA.

Oh boy!!!
Formatting remove encryption and also delete all data so it's absolutely not required for that "issue" (which is not an issue in fact).
It's "secure boot" it's possible to simply disable it in the settings, instead of asking pin or pattern, one should select none, and that's all, no more "secure boot" and it won't ask anymore for pin or password after boot...
Go to "Settings", select "Security and Location". next, select "Screen lock" then choose your current screen lock type. after that a page will popup asking you to secure start up, select no and enter your current password to disable.
wink wink... that simply does it.
Hi.. I am presently on MIUI10 Global stable.
When I unlock bootloader, install treble recovery ( redwolf twrp) and flash any custom ROM, the device boots and works fine.
But if then again I boot to recovery, data and storage is encrypted and cannot be accessed. No screenlock has been set. Recovery not asking for unlock password also. It just says mounting failed.

Hi there,
Recently decided to encrypt my phone. Unfortunately the process hanged with the information "Remaining time 00:00". I waited for 24 hours and rebooted the device. Unfortunately now userdata is encrypted and whatever password I type it sais sth like "You password is correct but the data i samaged. Please reset your phone". I have one critical app, that I need to recover - yes I forgot to do backup (I was sure I did, but I was wrong). Is there any way to recover the data.
At the moment of encryption SIM card was inserted and security pattern 4x4 enabled. The phone is HTC ONE m8, OS is CM13.0 (6.0 Marshmallow). I am familiar with how encryption works (more or less), twrp, fastboot etc. Just need some ideas...
Pocophone F1
security set to fingerprint and alphanumeric password.
every 3 days the fingerprint stops working and asks for password as a default security feature.
Last night it asked for password as its been 3 days since last used password. I am certain the password is correct and signed in several times before with it. I suspect there might have been a system update in the last 3 days. Now it keeps saying password is incorrect.
Forgot password option only allows erasing data and back to factory default.
Any help would be much appreciated.

if you have TWRP or any other encryption supporting custom recovery, reboot to recovery and then check what it asks for.
called xiaomi uk
I didn't root the phone or have custom recovery installed unfortunately.
called xiaomi uk customer support, they were saying the phone should give the option to reset the password via the google account but it isn't giving this option.
the phone is definitely connected to my google account. can see it there and was able to locate it and ring it from the computer browser.

I didn't install those unfortunately.
Did you associate your phone to mi account? She this happen to my girlfriend's phone and saw a bunch of cases while looking for a solution. Couldn't find a way around factory resetting.
I ended up doing the factory reset. I am sure it's a Xiaomi software issue because when I was initiating the phone again, when you set up fingerprint it gives this message:
"Remember your lock screen password. If you forget it, you'll have to erase all data on your device, including photos and contacts, and then set a new one"
This is exactly what I ended up doing other than the fact that it wouldn't accept the correct password. There is ways around it if you rooted your phone before this happened but in my case there was no quick solution.
Xiaomi should allow the password reset via Google account like other android phones.
Lucky I did have some backup via Google so wasn't a total disaster.
this is really bad. Im in this situation and i don want to erase my files as i didnt back up or used cloud. since yesterday looking for work around this screen lock issue, im using pocophone f1.
Hello,

Nobody out there with a Solution?
The same thing happened to me.
The sitution for me was that I tried to switch from the stock ROM (which uses encryption for "data") to an older ROM which did not use encryption. So first I had to swipe data to get rid of the encryption.
It is hard to tell from your report.
For you, it might also be similar to this:
twrp asks for password
whenever i want to boot into twrp it asks me for a decryption password. i tried to enter my pin code but still it says wrong. i tried to wipe my phone but still it asks for a password. i hope anyone help me fasy.
