I can unlock my phone OK with my fingerprint, but I can't remember my pattern unlock (well, I think I can, but the phone doesn't accept it). I need the pattern to modify the fingerprint unlock, e.g. to add more fingers. Anyone know how to reset the pattern when fingerprint is working OK?
I'm on stock .253.

Well This Is Very Easy To Fix .
Follow The Steps:
1) Identify the Gmail registered with the device.
2) Check whether "Android Device Manager" is enabled in Settings-> Security -> Device Administrators if not enabled ,then enable it .
3) Login to Device Manager

4) There you will find an option to "Lock the device" . Lock it with new Password/Pattern.
That's It
Hope It Helps
Please hit Thanks If worked!

Thanks. I think this would have worked, or I could have used myxperia.sonymobile.com similarly. Unfortunately I rebooted the phone, and it turns out, even with fingerprint enabled, that it needs a pattern to unlock the first time after rebooting! I had to wipe it with Xperia Companion (there seems to be no on-device recovery user interface that we can use), which was annoying.
I've now set it up again and made very sure I knew the pattern before adding fingerprints!

Oops!
I have purchased a Chinese Android phone (LePhone V8 - Android 6 device), but it does not have PIN, pattern, password option in security.
In the security>Device Security>Screen Lock, it only provides none and swipe options.
Are there any ADB commands that could enable the device to have PIN, pattern and password option in device security?
Thanks!
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.
Hi there..
I'm trying ti understand device encryption before i install a custom ROM on my poco. (Any links explaining how encryption works on android would be greatly appreciated)
My first question is whether the pocophone encryption is turned on by default.
Under the encryption settings, the "encrypt device using lock screen password" slider is set to off.
However, every time I reboot the phone, i am forced to enter the lock screen password as fingerprint and facial recognition do not work. I assumed that this is because encryption had been enabled on my phone by default. But then why is the slider set to off?

The option that you are talking about under encryption settings, is the same as "Android secure start up" on AOSP. If you enable this option, you need to enter your device password while you restart the phone. Or else your device won't even boot up (and you won't see the lockscreen) completely and you will be stuck. It's an extra layer of security on top of lockscreen password/pattern/pin. Now coming to your second question, it's a security feature on android where no other unlock methods will work except PIN/Password/Pattern after you restart the device everytime. And it has nothing to do with encryption or decryption. Even if you decrypt the ROM, you will still have to enter your password or pin or pattern on every reboot. Only then all other unlock methods will start working. Some ROMs have a feature where you can bypass this security and unlock the device straight away on every reboot without entering the default pin or password/pattern. But they also put a disclaimer that it's not safe.
Thanks for the info.. But one of the questions "Is the Pocophone F1" encrypted by default?" is not yet answered. I am very interested to know. And (while I am asking) if not, "How can I do encrypt it"?
Yes, it is encrypted by default.
hi people, looking to your advice and suggestions.
I was on Android 9 Miui 10. Last night I did a dirty flash to Android 10 Miui 11. There was no issues during this process and the phone booted up fine with no loss of data.
Steps I took -
1) Disabled Magisk modules
2) Removed all screenlock and Google and MIUI accounts
3) Made a Nandroid backup before flashing
Today morning, I tried to set up screenlock on Android 10 MIUI 11. Added the pattern lock, and added a fingerprint. Strangely when I tried to add one more fingerprint (for my left index finger), it asked me to set pattern lock again. Well I set it again, and added the new fingerprint. Same thing happened when I set the face unlock. I added the pattern lock again. But, the patternlock never turned to ON status, even though fingerprint and facelock was showing ON.
When I tried to lock the screen and to test it out, I was able to unlock with swipe (with no pattern, fingerprint or face unlock required). I haven't set any smart unlock as well.. I thought perhaps a reboot will help, but now I'm stuck on a soft bootloop ( the phone boots upto to the lockscreen and reboots before I can do anything )
Is there any suggestions on what I can do ? Please advise. Thanks in advance

Fix
Managed to fix it my myself. FYI
1) Boot TWRP Recovery click Advanced> File Manager> data> system and delete 6 files (ref : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/remove-lockscreen-recovery-t3530008)
1.access_control.key
2.access_control_password_type.key
3.locksettings.db
4.locksettings.db-shm
5.locksettings.db-wal
6./data/system/users/0/settings_fingerprint.xml
Bootup was successful
2) After bootup, you might find it difficult to set the screenlock password (won't take affect). Follow this -
In a web browser (on any device), log into Gmail with the account you used when setting up your phone.
Go to https://myaccount.google.com/intro/find-your-phone
Press "Lock your phone"
Enter "abcd"
Your phone's screen is now locked. Unlock it with "abcd"
You can now change your screen lock.

Hi there,
Good that you resolved on your own.
Also, this bug can be resolved this way. Try to setup second space. If you are already setup earlier with a password then follow the other member guide until the removal of locksettings db files. Then reboot and try setup the second space.. while setting up it will request to setup the password or pattern for first space and finger prints for second space. Once done move to first space and setup the fingerprints there for first space.
Just making a note here.. so somebody can make use of it in need at desperate hours...
I have spent sometime to figure this bug in the first space but setting up second space solved the bug.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
