I had to exchange my atrix for a new one after a line of dead pixels wouldn't leave my screen.
I copied all my storage from one to the other and then ran a restore from Titanium Backup.
My original phone was set with fingerprint reading (which worked great by the way) and of course the backup pin #.
Now when I turn on my screen it prompts immediately for the PIN...no lock screen at all. It did restore the PIN that I set on my original phone.
When I try to manage the lock screen (settings - loc and sec - change lock screen) it bounces over to the finger print reader setup and then bounces immediatley back.
Seems like I'm kind of stuck.
Any suggestions on how to get my lock screen back and finger print reading up and running without a system restore and limited (app only) restore for TiB?
Same problem

I have the exact same problem. I had a very long pin and I don't always like to have my phone secured when I'm working from home all day so its a big pain.
I don't want to go back and rebuild my whole phone again (SBF, root, CWM, Gingerblur 1.2, restore) so it would be nice if there was a way to reset it to just take the pin. My guess is the pin restored but not the fingerprint templates so the system is looking for them and failing.
If you use the search function, this has been discussed already. There is a line of code you can run to reset it.

Hi all,
I've been reading on this wiki/forum for a few weeks and finally yesterday night I had some time to install Prophet VIII on my qtek 200. I installed all apps I had running before and it all worked well.
Now I remember reading something about the "Lock" setting, but didn't exactly remember what and couldn't find it back either. I set it to prompt for a simple pin (3412) and even set my hint to 3412 in case i'd forget. After fiddling around a bit too much, things got messy and had to reset the device. Guess what, I got the device lock prompt and it wouldn't accept my pin code.
It also didn't retain clock settings (went back to 31/08/2006 12:00AM) and some small settings i changed in the control panel either. What's causing this?
I reinstalled everything, now everything works again but I couldn't find anything about this device lock thing, so i didn't enable it for now. Doesn't this feature work in custom roms?
Thanks.
This feature doesn't work with WM6...period.....
Has nothing to do with the cooked versions, but is a glitch in the original microsoft programming.
I'm using PDAViet Mysterious 1.0 and have got the same problem on the Lock setting after a soft reset.
After entered the PIN code, nothing would happen if I click the "unlock" button. It neither unlocks the phone, nor displays a error PIN messagebox. Nothing!
Soft Reset doesn't help. Everytime it asked for the PIN code, and I cannot unlock it since the unlock button seems useless.
At last I had to do a hard reset to restore the system.
I found a unique combination when the lock seems to loose the password and wouldn't allow to access even after soft reset; however every thing seems to be working internally i.e. it receives calls; txt. But it does not synz with Outlook and unlocks.
This happens when I turn off the phone and plug it into the charger and then turn on the power.
Does anyone know any remote-registry tools that can allow to override the password.
Strange thing.. So if I went out and bought a brand new WM6 phone, the lock wouldn't work either?
One of my kids dropped my Note 3 and now the screen is blank. I can remove the battery and start it back up and hear the start up sound. I can't get in to my phone to back up the internal memory because I had a pattern lock on it and can't correctly swipe it. Any way of getting in using Kies?

You can use Android Device Manager to lock and also reset device password. That way you can easily unlock it. You can set new password as 1111 for easy unlocking.
Hope that helps.
After using the finger print scanner for the past three months on my lock screen it has suddenly locked me out. Says no match...I have used my backup password to get into the phone ok, but when I use the backup password to try and alter the screen security it will not accept it.
I have to use my backup password every time to access the phone.
Will I need to do a factory reset to solve this problem? Any help appreciated
Any work around yet for restoring a backup from a previous device and putting into a new device. I am in this boat due to my phone falling out of my pocket on a roller coaster and having a piece of wood go through it. Magically still turned on though. Anyways I am plagued with a successful restored backup on the new device and the finger print sensor will not work because the data is from the other original device.
Yes I made sure to delete the lockscreen.db before I booted it up. Everything works perfectly besides the fingerprint sensor and you cant set it back up. If you try it says "Enrollment was not completed. Fingerprint enrollment didn't work. Try again or use a different finger." Also says "fingerprint sensor not available" at the lock screen. If you wipe data then it will allow you to reset it and it works great. My question is does anyone know what needs to be removed or deleted to allow you to use this nexus print feature again? Thanks in advanced.
Suffering the same problem; did you get anywhere?
Probably not. Just have to factory reset. It's not that bad...
Hello all together,
I have here the Samsung SM-J530F/DS of my father.
After the smartphone was dropped, the display no longer shows anything.
Is there any way to backup the data?
There is no screen lock set up, it would just ask for a pin when restarting (I have the pin).
There are no cloud backups and there is no SD card inserted.
If you can get it to connect to the PC.
If it boots and the touch screen still works, it's in the right usb mode and you can hit the connect popup. That's a lot of if's... if the mobo is undamaged you can try replacing the display.
Had he used a SD card as a data drive for critical data and a good case things be a lot easier.
Yeah, a non-dev user probably didn't have ADB enabled. That makes life more difficult.
If you do get ADB working you can use a screen grabber/poker desktop application.
My AdbGrab.exe (in the sig) will let you grab the screen and mouse click things.
It's slow, but the advantage is that it works on stock, unrooted devices without installing anything.
