Hey!
Changed my lock screen pin today, but apparently entered it wrong (twice?) so it wasn't what I thought it would be...
How do I go about unlocking it? I really don't wanna reset the device or install a new rom!
My Galaxy Nexus is rooted, I have gmail pw, ADB access and pin code...
Please help fast!
Thank you
if the phone still has access to the internet (wifi or data) then once you try to enter the lock pin incorrectly a few times it should ask you to login with your gmail password, which should then unlock the device allowing you to change the lock pin.
Failing that there are methods involving adb, do a search on google as I think some people have unlocked it using adb.
Hi all,
I have come across a problem today after trying out the MIUI ROM for my SII. I had quick go but decided not to use it, I re flashed the latest version of westcrips ressurection however when I returned to the lock screen my previous 4 digit PIN was not accepted.
I can only theorize that the previous PIN was overwritten or corrupted somehow. I am pretty sure there is no way to reset or discover android passwords. With the pattern lock there was an option to unlock your phone with your google account however I can't seem to find that with the PIN or maybe it has been removed from ICS westcrip?
Anyway, what to do? I don't really want to wipe everything and reset
Thanks,
Auzeras
Hi all,
I'm using samsung galaxy s2 with CM9 android 4.0.4, rooted phone. i was going through the security settings and did 'ENCRYPT PHONE'. After completing the procedure (which took around 45 mins to complete) there is no option to unlock my phone using slide unlock, face unlock, pattern unlock and none options. and every time my screen locks, i have to enter the password. please help me to activate the slider unlock option, as it was a cool feature on my phone. i have tried everything, but still no results.
any help will appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hoping someone can help because my phone is completely unusable. I was in work yesterday and decided to restart my phone because the battery was draining and I didn't have a USB-C cable. It got to the "enter PIN" screen, and the PIN I've always used was invalid. I'm pretty sure I never changed my PIN, but I've used 15 of 30 guesses trying any number that I might have changed it to, and none work. I usually unlock my phone with my finger print, but that isn't possible because this isn't the standard unlock screen, it's the screen before the phone even fully boots up. It's not connected to the internet yet so I can't reset it via Google and there's no "forgot PIN" option.
To further complicate things, the power button on my phone doesn't work (though the finger print sensor still does.) The phone was in my pocket and got moist from sweat on a hot day, and hasn't worked since. So I'm not even able to get into recovery mode. I can turn the phone on by holding volume-down and connecting then disconnecting the charger. I can also get into "download mode" to flash firmware by doing the same thing holding volume-up.
I have my camera photos backed up, but nothing in my downloads directory is saved, nor any pictures received in text messages. I'm sure there's plenty of other stuff that's not backed up too. I hadn't enabled encryption. Is there any way to transfer files off my phone? I'm assuming no, especially since even "adb" doesn't see the phone in either download mode or the PIN entry screen. USB debugging was enabled, but it seems like it's only connecting in "charge only" mode.
I'm not even sure how to get the phone working again, even if I have to wipe it. Should I try flashing a stock ROM (it's not rooted or un-bootlocked)? What happens when I enter the invalid PIN 30 times?
Thanks for any help.
Edit: If it helps, it's the AT&T model, H820
think you must reflash the Rom with fatory reset option. not the best, but you have a usable devive again. Bad you cant root the device and delete just the two *.key files

What happens after 30th attempt to unlock Secure Boot?
I have forgotten the unlock pattern for my G5, which has been sitting in a drawer for the last couple of months.
What happens when I fail to correctly enter the unlock pattern for the 30th time? Will it clear the data and reset itself, if so, no biggy, or will it turn itself into a brick, which would be a biggy?
Regards,

It clears all data and factory resets itself. The only other thing is that you need the password for the Google account it was associated with, in order to use it after it resets. I think it's to prevent phone theft. I remember hearing you shouldn't try to change your Google password within ~3 days of resetting the device either, because it might not work.
Note that if it's the actual screen lock pattern you forgot instead of the startup/boot PIN, you can probably just reset it through Google's Android Device Manager website.
LG G5 SE H840 stuck on secure startup
Hi everyone.
I've tried to flash TWRP on my phone using fastboot and it seems to have worked, but when I reboot, my phone is asking for a secure startup code.
I don't have it because I don't remember setting one up... Each reboot uses 2 of the 30 try allowed and now I'm at 12 left.
I tried default_password, and some other things... not working.
I tried fastboot -w to do a factory reset, but it doesn't want to write "userdata" : "cannot flash this partition in unlocked state"...
Code:
Created filesystem with 11/32000 inodes and 4110/128000 blocks
erasing 'userdata'...
OKAY [ 0.609s]
sending 'userdata' (138917 KB)...
OKAY [ 4.361s]
writing 'userdata'...
FAILED (remote: cannot flash this partition in unlocked state)
finished. total time: 4.989s
For what it's worth : I'm french and the secure startup is in french... Is it because the initial stock rom that I used is still behind whit my settings ? Factory reset should have brought me back to English at least ?
Any help please ?
New problem, new thread.
I remember that I set a secure startup pin in my Lenovo TB3- x70L . But when I typed the pin the tab displayed incorrect pin . So I restarted it a black display appeared to enter the pin.
I tried many times typing the pin what I set . It shows all are incorrect pin . And after many attempts it says "your tab will be wiped after 7 attempts with incorrect pin".
My debugging is off ,OEM is off.(Initially).
But I some how activated debugging.
Pls help me guys if you can.
Same issue
Have you guys ever solved this issue? I am facing the same with my LG G5...
Hey i have a lg aristo 2 and forgot my lockscreen passcode i have tried multiple tips off the web and me and my fiance are both logged into her google account what can i do to get into my phone....
Lg vs087 g5
Had the same problem....Secure boot enter pin. After exceeding the 10 attempts it factory reset itself and went into setup.
I have the exact issue also on my LG G5 H830. it recognizes my fingerprint but the pin ive been using for years says its wrong pattern. I can only unlock my device with my fingerprint. f**king weird.
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?
