My daughter decided she didn't like the pattern for the screen lock on her Atrix so she changed it. Unfortunately she doesn't remember it, didn't tell it to use the fingerprint scanner and doesn't remember her motoblur login. What can I do to unlock the screen?
In my limited knowledge, I just remove the battery and reset the phone

I think the only way is doing an hard/factory reset. Although, you are going to lose your data.

Is it possible to set a "pin to unlock" screen that only requires the pin to be entered at first boot, as opposed to every time you unlock the phone?
I'm using CM6
Sadly, nope. Not yet, at least, to the best of my knowledge.
You can edit how long it takes before the lock kicks back in.....

Oooh, that's true, I hadn't thought of that. Not quite what he was asking, but if it were set to lock after... Six hours. That should be sufficient.
Yeah, I know it wasn't his exact question but I figured it was a good back up plan ....

How do you do this?
Please help me. The top part of my screen does not react to touch imput anymore. There are no scratches or visible dammage to the screen. What could cause this? It only affects the top half inch of the screen. When i try to select email in my inbox, the top email does not select.

This has happened to me and a few others, my solution was getting a new phone unfortunately as nothing I did worked.

Similar thing happened to my girlfriends atrix. She lost touch down the left center of the screen. Would not respond to touches from top to bottom .25" from the left side. Factory restoring and/or SBF did not fix this issue. Hell once I restored it I couldnt even setup blur as the E and W wouldnt work on the keyboard. Also, she couldnt unlock it without it being a major PITA. Warranty replaced and all is good
Thx for the replyes. How do i get a warranty replacement? Phone was bought at cosco when it came out.
Also da i still have warranty if i rooted and turned on wifi hotspot?

This is hard to explain but is there anyway to make my lock screen have the little lock in the bottom instead of the pattern .
You get the little lock when you pull down the clock down. Then when you press the lock the pattern appear to unlock the phone.
I put some picture to explained better

Only way I know is to set the security to swipe instead of pattern.

I done that before and it just does the same. It just has the giant swipe symbol not the small clock

So when you go into the settings/security/screen lock and set it to "slide" you still have a pattern on your unlock screen? Weird. Are you on stock or custom?
I get where you're getting at. No, there is no way to do what you're asking from the stock setup. You'll either have to write some code and mod it yourself or find an aftermarket lock screen app that does what you want.

Hi,
Not sure I'm writing the right place.
-Sorry...
Is there a way to change the way you lock the screen ?
I stead of one single push on the power button, I could really use something like 2 press...
I keep locking the screen by accident when I fooling around , or if I'm in a store and buying my coffee for free (7 eleven, using a app with a QR code..) and the staff accidentally lock the screen - I will lose that QR code, cause I only have 2 min to use it, when the staff press "show code"..
Soooo...
Is it possible to tweak/hack/nuke it ?
-FYI, only had the S4 for about a month, and only got rooted
-again, if I'm in the wrong place, I'm really sorry..

I am getting really annoyed with the second unlock screen. I unlock using fingerprints, then comes up to a lock screen that you push unlock and has a ad and battery level. How do I get rid of this?!

You're going to have to figure out which app you installed that adds the 2nd lock and ads. I've seen others talk about it on here, but I can't remember which app was the culprit.

Do you have ES file explorer installed? If so, uninstall. They are becoming very shady since the new owner.
