So my friend was playing around with my Prime today when he shows me he has entered the incorrect pattern so many times that it will only allow me to sign in with my Google account to regain access to it. Im like okay no big deal, ill just sign in change the password and no problem.. Well, I have tried that and it will not accept my log in information.. I know the username (email) and password is right. I can log in from my computer just fine and I haven't changed the password for that account since I've had the tablet. I do not know what else to do..? I have tried putting just the first part of my username, tried entering null into the password box. didn't work.. I believe it might have something to do with the wifi not being on, but i cant turn it on because my tablet is locked! Is there anyway i can use ADB or something to turn wifi on or to let me reset the lock screen so i can enter my unlock pattern? i do know what that is. I would really like to not have to factory reset and wipe all the data.. Thanks in advance!
Sorry I don't know of any other way but the factory reset which wipes all the data off your prime, hopefully someone might know how to fix the problem without having to do the factory reset. I got my Prime from Taipei so when I did the factory reset I could not understand the text due to not knowing how to read the foreign language. Well after trying and failing and trying again it took me about an hour to set the language to English . So if their is no other option but a factory reset be prepared .
Also if you do come across an answer to this problem please share it with us here. Thanks

Hi,
I got my SGS2 from O2 yesterday, went to check recovery mode is working ok and it is asking for a password. Has anyone else on O2 had this? For the short time I had my SGS on Gingerbread I got asked for the same when trying recovery mode.
Just tried on my unlocked T-Mobile phone from CPW and it goes in fine.
Blue text, Android system recover (3e), and options to reboot, apply update.zip, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
Also this was done on a rooted phone although im pretty sure i also tried it before rooting and it still worked then.
Password is your screen unlock password.
It turns out it is because I had the screen lock set to a PIN.
Yep, If you have either a screen lock PIN or password set the recovery rom prompts you for them (although if you set a pin it still refers to it as a password in the recovery rom which can be confusing).
However if you set a pattern lock then no prompt is given.
nice to know
Thanks for the info
I was sure my recovery got locked by the store I got it from ... (If its possible)
After replacing my Email.apk without any security and canceling the PIN all is well.

Hey Guys.
A friend of mine tried to unlock my phone and made multiple failed attempts and choose some option which now have resulted in the phone being BLOCKED. it is not showing the "normally available option" of logging in via the gmail account. It is asking for a recovery password. I have no idea what that password is as i never set such a password. I have tried all my accounts on the phone. i tried 0000 and 00000000 aswell for the default passwords but of no avail. The screen shows "Recovery password required to unblock phone".
When i give a wrong password it says "Incorrect recovery password.All data will be wiped in line with security policy". As i dont want to do this i turn off my phone and upon restarting it this happens again. I tried removing the battery for sometime.Keeping the phone turned off etc but nothing positive.
Any suggestions on a workaround or what might the password be?

Hey,
never heard s.th. like that before.
but u said unlock? So it's from an Provider and u maybe have some sheets at home with infos and so on (like number, pin, puk etc.) maybe also a recovery passwort or kind of it is written?
PS: u also kann try 1234 1235 o kind of it.... but dunno what happend if to often typed... maybe u really loose data so better have a look first or call provider, maybe the service can help

This is the exact same setup as a stolen phone will show . So best advice is return the phone to the network/phone supplier who should be able to reset on evidence of purchase .
Incorrect recovery password.All data will be wiped in line with security policy
Means a security policy has been set up by the owner of the phone .
In case of a stolen phone or such symptoms XDA cannot get involved in workarounds that may be illegal .

Guys its my own phone no stolen thing. it is not on a network. The guy was trying to unlock it and made too many tries with it.
Regarding the policy, i did have my exchange account setuped on the phone which required the pattern lock in the first place. May it had such a policy but i am not aware of that. So any wild ideas?
Regarding unlocking i didnt say "unlock". i said "unblock". this unblock thing has nothing to do with the network unlocks.

the last person who asked me about this was actually with a stolen phone where also offered money for help.
wanna know why it looks like it indeed is stolen as the one i said up here?
1º: Because anyone MUST choose pin or pattern as a safety care if knock code doesnt work, if you didnt, its because that phone isnt yours.
2º: a interesting point, very dumb one actually, if the main gmail account isnt yours, put your own email and password wont help, as it isnt the one used in the device.
SO: only solution is factory reset.
please also wipe internal memory and sdcard.
Hello everyone,
Since 3 days ago my huawei mate 10 pro ask me to login using the pattern code,normaly I always use fingerprint logins. At first I did add the wrong pattern or I tought I was wrong, till I came to the conclusion that I was entering the good pattern but my phone dont want te let me in (if I enter the good pattern phone does nothing let me try again, can even try it 100 times, if I enter wrong pattern after 3 times, I need to wait for some time to try again), is there anyway to login or fix that bug without doing a factory reset, I really dont want to lose my data.
I am totaly stuck ,can anyone help me please, will really appreciate it.
Things I did try:
wiped cash
try to login safe mode
try change pattern with google account but cant communicate
adb tool cant detect phone, think devlopers option is switched off
I am working on a phone for someone that had a heart attack and as a result has forgotten his pin code on his phone. I know I can factory reset but I'm trying to find a way to get back into the phone to recover all his data. I can get into download mode so I was wondering if there is any kind of firmware hack that can be installed in order to just ignore pin altogether. I don't think the data is encrypted. We have been able to recover his gmail account but the lock screen never shows a "forgot your pin?" I tried using find my phone but it says it can locate the phone but that find my phone isn't running. Any help would be really appreciated.

As far as I know, even with those enabled you can't bypass login pin code. If that was the case, you could take anyone's phone, factory reset it, and use it.
? I thought that was kinda the whole point of the existence of XDA. I've already found that Dr. Fone can factory reset and take over a phone. There must be something that can be done in download mode.
