Hi. We've lost the Pin number for the digital dalance. This tool was super useful so I want to reset it. I reset factory settings etc but it's still asking for the same pin. Anyone know how I can reset the pin??
Thank you

I think he/she means that its asking for a pin code on device start?
Welldo a cold reset hold in power button and click the reset pin with the stylus at the bottom Left. You will lose EVERYTHING on the MDA after so make sure you back up with active sync. If that doesn't clear it reflash it with another rom
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?

Hii all,
As most of the user are using android smartphones and now i am using moto g5 plus so i wanto know more about factory reset protection?
How it works?
Factory Reset Protection is a security method that was designed to make sure someone can't just wipe and factory reset your phone if you've lost it or it was stolen. It's a good thing — it makes a stolen phone harder to use, which makes it less appealing to thieves, and anything that can protect our data on a phone we've lost is welcome. It can become a problem if you sell, trade, or even give away a phone without factory resetting it, though. How it works explains why.
You have to be signed in with the "owner" account of the phone (the one you used to set it up) in order to factory reset it. That means if you give me your phone I can't reset it without you being signed in There are random workarounds on the Internet, but they tend to get patched almost as soon as they are discovered. You'll pretty much need to know the login details for the last account to use the phone before you can reset it and create a new owner account.
Disabling FRP (Factory Reset Protection) is simple. On most phones, it will be automatically done whenever you choose to reset the data through the phone's settings. If your phone has an extra layer of reset protection from the company who built it or has a "find my phone" app from the company who built it, you'll want to disable that manually first. :angel:
Hello everyone, my girlfriend has an LG G5 and forgot the passcode that she used to unlock her phone. Is there any way to bypass it without a hard reset? She still has access to the Google account associated with her phone. She has a lot of data on it that she doesn't want to lose. Is a hard reset and loss of data the only option?
Thanks
I have wiped and reloaded my phone a couple times, and each time it asked for my pin when I was setting it up. Said something to the effect of "...phone has been used, Enter your pin number".
Is there a way to wipe it so that doesn't happen?

Very surprised. What PIN number are you referring to? SIM pin number is obviously asked for each time a PIN protected SIM is inserted. As far as device pin / lock pattern... are concerned, they are erased by a factory reset.
The only important thing is to delete all Google accounts form the device PRIOR to the factory reset, otherwise the last used Google account is required during the next setup.
On Huawei devices might also need to delete Huawei account from device before factory reset.
Thanks.
May be the Sim, not sure. And I had not deleted the accounts before reset All the years I've been using smart phones never heard to do that.
Thanks again. Next week I'll be doing the reset, and I'll report back confirmation of how it goes
It's called Factory Reset Protection (FRP). You can google it. Basically, if a Google account is present on a device at the moment of the factory reset then the credentials of this account will be required during the set up wizard that follows the factory reset. It's a theft protection but in your case (sale) this is not something you want.
