Ok, so here is the situation, I have a phone that has a screen lock on it. It is a Samsung Galaxy Centura model SCH-S738C for Tracfone. It has a pattern lock on it and it is not connected to the internet at all. The service was disconnected and I cant get the wifi to kick on and connect to my home network until I get past the pattern lock. This phone is also not rooted so I cant access the root directory to modify any files. Is there any way that anybody can think of to get past this pattern lock. I know the google account info, so if you can help me simply get this phone to connect to the internet via wifi that would be helpful. I have searched all over the internet and all I can find is how to hard reset the phone. Thanks in advance guys!
PS. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong spot, if it is please move it to the proper section.

Is usb debugging enabled is your device recognized by PC like ADB device or FastBoot device ?

Hey!
Changed my lock screen pin today, but apparently entered it wrong (twice?) so it wasn't what I thought it would be...
How do I go about unlocking it? I really don't wanna reset the device or install a new rom!
My Galaxy Nexus is rooted, I have gmail pw, ADB access and pin code...
Please help fast!
Thank you
if the phone still has access to the internet (wifi or data) then once you try to enter the lock pin incorrectly a few times it should ask you to login with your gmail password, which should then unlock the device allowing you to change the lock pin.
Failing that there are methods involving adb, do a search on google as I think some people have unlocked it using adb.
Hi xda forum members,
As said in the title, I have issues trying to unlock my mobile phone. It has ICS on it. The problem is : the phone won't accept my screen lock password anymore. I tried everything i found on the internet. First I tried to bypass the password with "Screen Lock Bypass" from Google Play but it says my device is not compatible with it. Then I tried to hard reset it but none of the long press volume buttons to access some menu tricks works ! I even looked for a way to brute force it but I didn't find anything. You guys are my last hope, so please if you know some way to hack my phone tell me !
Thanks for your answers,

P.S. This is my first post ever on any forum, so I am sorry if I did something wrong
Hey guys.
Here is the story ... I received my Redmi 3 Pro device back from the Xiaomi because it was sent there due to faulty camera. When I turned on the device it said This device is locked and there is a little button Activate this device. After that the screen shows that the device may be associated with existing Mi Account, which is my account. When I enter the password and tap on Activate I get an error saying Couldn't verify Mi Account ID. Can't connect to network.
How the hell can I connect to network if I even can't get past this screen.
Does anybody have an idea? I bought the device months ago and couldn't use it even for a day because it took them almost three months to replace the camera.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Try to use a sim card with mobile data and no pin. It should automatically connect to the internet and allow you to activate your phone.

Thanks ... worked like a charm
In my case it happened after disabling some stock Mi apps on an officially unlocked phone. Trying to connect would fail because the required dependencies were not available. The easy solution was to reboot into the twrp recovery and delete the file /data/system/users/0/package-restrictions.xml — the file gets recreated after boot with the default stock package restrictions.
Hi I lost my phone few days ago but I was able to find it however before finding my device I locked it using find my device password. Now the problem is I cant remember the password I set for it. And there is no option to either change or remove password. I cant hard reset my phone either because it asks for the screen lock password and I dont remember that either. So what should I do? Am I locked out for good should I buy new phone? What should I do? Thanks

You can try this if you have a custom recovery:

Otherwise I don't know any other way ...
Have a good day!
I am working on a phone for someone that had a heart attack and as a result has forgotten his pin code on his phone. I know I can factory reset but I'm trying to find a way to get back into the phone to recover all his data. I can get into download mode so I was wondering if there is any kind of firmware hack that can be installed in order to just ignore pin altogether. I don't think the data is encrypted. We have been able to recover his gmail account but the lock screen never shows a "forgot your pin?" I tried using find my phone but it says it can locate the phone but that find my phone isn't running. Any help would be really appreciated.

As far as I know, even with those enabled you can't bypass login pin code. If that was the case, you could take anyone's phone, factory reset it, and use it.
? I thought that was kinda the whole point of the existence of XDA. I've already found that Dr. Fone can factory reset and take over a phone. There must be something that can be done in download mode.
