Do you know you username but not your password, or know neither of them?

looking 4 d same
i heard that if you plug it into kies, you can somehow download a file that automatically factory resets your phone, probably designed for when this happens. Maybe you could try looking around on there or something? (i cant confirm it as my phones cm)

Last night I turned off the phone by pressing Right key for a few seconds and in the morning, I turned it on. But now, when I want to set my code to unlock the phone (I know, its correct code), it dont work. Actually, it doesnt show any message or do anything. Can someone help me? I cant do hard reset because of contacts and files. I tried soft reset, but without success.
Thanks

I know other who has this problem, Leo changes the password. I have even contacted HTC and they said I had to hard reset the phone
im having the same problem but only after trying to flash radio, which failed and gave me an erroe, desided to leave it alone and when i rebooted, all was well until i locked the screen. i have hard reset the phone like 5 times and tried redownloading ruu and kumar roms again... its a huge no go.. any idea?
I've found CHT 2.0b and Exchange can clash, and cause the password to screw up, if that's any help. I'm on one of the latest NRGZ roms.
Hi,
I have an android tablet (I'm not really sure what brand it is, but on the back it says m706b) that does not boot anymore.... it just sits at the "loading..." screen. Does anyone know how I can fix this issue? Can I factory reset the device somehow? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I would try to boot into recovery, push different buttons, in different combinations. I could not find a specific one for yours, but it should have one. From there you should be able to factory reset it, which I think should do the trick.
Please thank me if I helped!
Thanks for your suggestion. I have been trying that for the past hour with no result. I was hoping maybe somebody here in the forums would know.
Cheers.
The problem is, that your tablet is not popular..... sorry that it did not work. Good luck getting it to work!
Hit that thank button if I helped!
ok, here is how you do it. Settings> privacy> factory reset.

It won't boot. I need to get into recovery mode.... I just don't know the right button combination. I'm not even sure if there's a stock recovery on this thing either
Thanks,
Harry.

you'd probably need to install adb on PC (general guides here or here or in lots of places), but this will work only if the "USB Debugging" is turned on in Setting>Applications>Development
- or -

Maybe try with the Aroma from my previous post - remove SD card from Note, and copy zip file to it using PC, then put it back, and try to restart in recovery mode, then follow installation instructions

Hi everybody,
First, I want to apologize if I put this thread in a wrong section. I'm a rookie in smartphone world. I did do the search before I posted but I couldn't find the answer.
I have a big problem with my ZOPO. Its a pass-code locked. Did I do it? I really dont know. Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. The problem occurred when I came back to my country. I've changed the sim card and since then its asking me for pass-code. I have no idea whats my pass-code is. All I see on my screen is "My Name - Please enter the Privacy Protection password to unlock" message.
Power button+Volume up button instructions, which I found here for a different model of ZOPO didn't work. It just boot to unlock screen. Only 3 physical button are there....Power, volume and camera.
Please can you help me to unlock my phone. If you need any other info, please let me know. I really hope you can help me. You would make old man very happy.
Thank you very much.
@Brale1950, here, try the factory reset method posted here.
Thank you very much for reply.
I was able to access recovery and factory reset. I've tried both but I still get the "Enter Pin" screen.
The phone did factory reset but the pin screen is still there. The only difference is that I don't see my name anymore on the screen.
Please, is there a way to fix this.

The factory reset should have done away with the passcode lock. I'll do some more research to find out what can be done to fix you, but I was SURE that this would fix ya!

Thank you very much for helping me. I'm really stuck and I need my phone back.
As you can see on the picture, that supposed to be the option for factory reset, if I'm right.

The first thing you have to do is to go to the app drawer and open an application called Samsung Retail.
Go to Configuration Settings and enter code 544 to unlock it. If this code do not work, try 5444
Uncheck Disable the factory reset and enter the following password to confirm it: M729Q16K8546..
Turn the phone off and press the volume up, power and home buttons at the same time to boot into recovery.
Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.
Then reboot.
However if its an LDU then im pretty sure the antenna and sim card slot will have been removed.

Ok Sir but the problem is i cant open the device.. it has fingerprint password, i didnt know the password even the back up password. I tried to restore it by holding power button, volume up and camera but still it wont work since the factory reset was disabled by the retail mode.

Then i dont think theres anything you can do. You need the password. You can not bypass the lock
