On one of my Axon phones the pattern lock is broken:
If I enter a wrong pattern, then it says "wrong pattern".
If I enter a correct pattern, then it seemingly unlocks, but then immediately relocks.
If I use my fingerprint, then I can unlock and use the phone as normal, except:
I can't change the pattern lock. If I try to remove it, replace it with another locking mechanism (e.g. PIN) or try to change the pattern, then android asks me to input the pattern first and I get a very similar behaviour there too. Wrong pattern -> "wrong pattern". Correct pattern. -> It loads something and then throws me back to where I was before. And then asks for the pattern again.
This is very annoying, how can I deal with that?
PS: No root or anything like that, it's all stock.

I have a Nexus 7 tablet that I haven't used in a while and I don't remember the pattern lock.
The problem is there's no backup password prompt, and it never asks for my google login no matter how many attempts I make. The device is online. It just says You entered the incorrect pattern 40 times. Try again in 30 seconds.
I tried the android device manager and locked the device with an alternate password but tells me that since there is a screen password set they won't use the password I just entered... which is unhelpful. Any other ideas short of a factory reset?
Hello Gentlemen and Gentlewomen,
Well, I have a ZE554KL, with OREO 8.1 installed.
The phone is boot loader unlocked.
I use the fingerprint + pattern lock.
I know it is my fault, but I got the phone running for 2 months w/o rebooting, so all of suden, today the phone locks itself and ask for the pattern lock for "additional security". Well, after 2 months not using the pattern, just the fingerprint, I ended up forgetting it.
Now I am stuck. I cannot reset the unlock method neither via the phone nor the google device page. Is there anyway to remove the pattern lock or switch back to the fingerprint, without the need of wiping my data?
All the best.
My LOS 15.1 hasn't locked - no Pin, no Pattern.
So I would like to add fingerprint to have some security. But it works only together with a pin/pattern - at least I understand it like that.
So I give it a pin, added fingerprint.
Now I have a problem. While the device is still not asking for pin/fingerprint when open it - it asks when I want to change something in these security settings. But my dammned pin fails. I am 100% sure I used that one.
What can I do? Beside that I can't change security settings it seem I have full access.
And isn't it possible to unlock the device with just the fingerprint?
I could found a few answers by myself.
Don't know why my pin number fails, I reflash a backup and it was clean again.
The fingerprint just replaces a pattern/pin, that's why this is combined. Operating with just a fingerprint is not intended for some reasons.
Is there any alternative available for screen unlocking if we forgot pin or pattern without losing your data. Similar type of ROM that can give option like forgot password, pin so we can recover the data.
Hi all, got a very stupid problem here. Tried to remove pattern lock from a RMX2001, afterwards the phone locked up and had to be rebooted. Now it's still asking for a pattern unlock, but not accepting the original pattern. The pattern is correct as I have another phone with the same pattern.
Doesn't matter how many times you enter a pattern, there's no prompt to say you've tried too many times and are locked out.
Any way to fix this without wiping the phone?
