Hey there,
I have om avg simppe question..
Is there any way to avoid pattern unlock on 8x?
Situation is simple:
Son died and his mother trying access his phone (sms) to try if there is not any critical information.
But current status is there is is only pattern lock, and it not offer any kind of "i forgot..." Option to unlock phone with google acc password, or any kind of pin..
Is there ANY way remove pattern without data loss? We tried unlock over google devices page, but it can not reach phone from some reasson - maybe no data? We can not pull top bar with wifi or something to connect.. currently phone offer one pattern try in 4 hours...
Thank you for any kind of info.

Hello, i think it's not becoming clear from the title, but i don't know how exactly to name it. I have a corporate email set on my Xperia S. Since the email is corporate, i had to set Pin Unlock, which is something i don't like at all - especially when i'm driving. Is there a way to trick the security settings or the android to think that i'm using pin code unlock, but instead to use the normal unlock screen? The only possible unlock solutions which i have now (having in mind that the device security is managed by the exchange service) are pin or password unlock.

Did I get that right? You want Android to think you have a PIN, but don't want to enter the code?
You could make a delay until lock, so if your phone switched off, and you turned it on again after a minute, it's not locked yet.
Actually it's almost as you say - i want to be able to lock it and use the normal unlock slide instead of entering a pin, without having to remove the device security setting - basically trick the phone that a pin unlock is used. I still want to be able to lock the phone, since otherwise it's not sleeping properly and is reducing even more the already short battery life.

Hi, I have a problem, this morning trying to unlock the phone (HTC desire 820) I received information that the pattern was incorrect. The formula is 100% correct. Finally, after a few phobe resets, the pattern came in and I have access to the phone, but now to turn this pattern off I have to provide it again in Security options, but it does not work again. What to do to get rid of this pattern? I have access to the phone and have to wake up every 15th time so that the pattern lock does not turn on again. I do not have ROOT. Please help
Hi, I have samsung J4, I set pattern lock, I used in five dots of first six dots. I know my gmail, but I cant enter the phone.

Hi!
I had put a password on my Redmi Note 4 so my son doesn't play games on it. I usually use fingerprint or text password which I remember. However, I'm not sure what password I entered and now I've forgotten it. Now as the phone starts it is asking for the password and now it is locked. I can send some pictures of the screen for your reference (do advise how i can send these). When I try forgot password it just prompts me to the screen saying data will be erased etc...
I have important documents, ebooks, pictures and contacts on the phone which I need. Please advise if there is some way by which I can unlock the phone or at least backup all the data on the phone and then erase it.
Your help will be much appreciated.
Best regards,
Sudeep
Starting with Android 5 Lollipop there’s no built-in way to simply reset your pattern, PIN, or password and gain access to your phone or tablet. This does help provide additional protection to your data, attackers have no way of bypassing the passcode unless they actually know it.
The one and only possible solution to unlock: If you've set up Smart Lock on your phone and have it automatically log in when it’s on your home Wi-Fi then you can take your phone to that home Wi-FI network and it will automatically unlock for you, even if you can’t remember the normal unlock code.
If the phone runs Android 4.4 KitKat and older it has an integrated way to bypass your pattern, PIN, or other password if you forget it. To find this feature, first enter an incorrect pattern or PIN five times at the lock screen. You’ll see a “Forgot pattern,” “forgot PIN,” or “forgot password” button appear. Tap it. You’ll be prompted to enter the username and password of the Google account associated with your Android device.
