If u have entered wrong passcode then there should be an option for security question at the bottom. Tap it. Answer the question that you've set during setting up your passcode then reset passcode.if you also have forgotten your security question answer then idk you need to search out google.

Then you may need to boot into recovery and factory reset your device that's the only option

I have the same problem and need any solution if someone could be of any help. BTW This won't work as we cannot enter our phones and I believe to install apk we must be able to use our phones.

after wipe., restart the phone...and you will get clean Rom like first time
you can delete your nondroid back up (if you forgot the password), make new one again.
tried wiping through CWM no dice, flashed back to generic rom, tried to wipe it through there then it asks me for my password gg.

come on man !!
in recovery:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe chache partition
go to advenced:
wipe dalvik cache
wipe battery stats
restart phone, and wait until is load.
People have reported that you can't remove the password by doing a factory reset. I was quite surprised by this myself, but have found a way to do it. I've never forgotten my password (I have a pattern, rather than a pin/password), but I've flashed a few kernels and have noticed that whatever pattern I use will work, until I set it again.
Try flashing a new kernel and see if that helps. Like I said, I use a pattern so I don't know if it will work for a pin or password.
Good luck mate

The lock passwords, pins, and patterns are saved on the /efs partition which is not touched during flashing. That is why flashing is not fixing anything
CM7 would bypass it since it uses the original Android lock setup not the Samsung modified.

Yep thought that was the problem after having a poke around my phone last night, now luckly I have a backup of that folder on my computer so will see about restoring these file and going from there.
again thanks for the tip
I have AndroidLost on my phone and recently it decided to go haywire, set a password on my phone then lock itself. I've verified this wasn't malicious, outside activity - none of my accounts have been hacked. I've done a backup, and that hasn't solved my issue, is there anyway I can, with root, unlock my phone?
You should be able to unlock it using your Google account, failing that, you're likely looking at data loss by factory resetting and overloading it with wrong passwords.

This option would be for people that can access their phone, I cannot.
It's for recovery mode. You can't even get into that?

It's written in the thread linked above.
hpe said:
Got it to work!
Basically, the post oinkylicious linked to had the solution. The password/PIN they are referring to is the one that we are prompted to enter when trying to do a data/factory reset from stock recovery. After a number of tries it will say that if you type the password wrong once more it might delete contents on your SD card. What I did was remove the SD card, and continue to enter wrong passwords. After a while it will the show some text (can't remember what), and let you go through with the data/factory reset.

So yesterday my brother-in-law gave me his old Galaxy S 4.
He forgot to tell me that the screen is still locked with a pin.
I thought installing the latest software through Odin would remove the screen lock, but no luck.
I searched through the forum and have not found a single thread on solving this.
Can anyone help me solve this conundrum?

The problem is the only way I know how to perform a factory reset with the screen locked is through recovery. No matter how much I try the device will not boot into recovery. Any other ways to perform a wipe?

After a full odin flash it should replace the recovery and allow you in. If not then I don't think you can get in unless it has adb enabled with root
Hi,
sorry up front if this is a redunant question but I've locked my phone with FP and pin/pattern on MIUI. After switching to LOS the boot pattern is still active. Wiping /data with TWRP didn't help. How can I remove/delete it permenantly? Any hints/links? I couldn't find anything useful using the search though .

Theres a zip to remove lockscreen passwords, after you redo ur pattern and whatever, enter fingerprint and you need to reenable smart lock in trusted agents, because it won't show otherwise.
This is also the same thing just manually
Patch rom
Via
Orangfox or pitchblack recivery during flashing
