Hi, I just got this phone a few days ago and decided earlier to add a passcode for security.
After I added it and close my screen and open I put in the same code I used but it didn't work?
So now i'm really really nervous not knowing what to do.
Can someone please help me?
My phone isn't rooted yet, so its pure stock. Ahhh!!
After failing a few times you'll have to enter your gmail password and then it will unlock.

Happy Sunday!
So I have an old Acer Iconia a500 laying around, and I decided I wanted to play with it. Turns out I forgot the password because I haven't used it in so long. Its connected to my home wifi, but whenever I enter the password incorrectly ten times it doesn't show the Forgot Password? tab. The volume rocker is completely broken, so there goes that option. Its also not rooted. Any suggestions? I don't care if I lose all my data.
Thanks!

Do you have access over adb?
If so, this should help.

I don't have adb installed, but I'll give it a go later this evening. Hopefully it works, and I thank you!

No prob, good luck.
I finally got a chance to try, and I wasn't able to. I don't believe I checked usb debugging in settings. Anything else I can try?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
There's only one way out of this and that's a complete erase of userdata and cache I.e. hard reset/factory data reset.
If you had custom rom on there most of them have usb debug enabled by default that's not much help with yr issue tho.
If you have the v8 then use fastboot, see this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35500578.

I have stupidly forgotten the PIN on my Nexus 4. I would really rather not reset the phone and lose data. Are there any ways to bypass the lockscreen or to backup the data?
Thanks,
Liam
I sincerely hope not.
you can keep trying to unlock and when it locks you need to unlock the phone with you google account password you used to activate the phone. you will still need you sim pin to be able to use your sim card but your provider can unlock that one for you

LOL! I see where you're coming from. But there might be some time-consuming, hacky way to do it.

The 'forgot pattern' button only appears with pattern unlock. There is no 'forgot PIN' button in Android.
Keep entering wrong pattern. After many tries it will block you and you will be able to use reset password feature.

Are you sure this is true? Or is that just a guess?
I've got up to 65 tries and there is still no button.
Are you rooted? USB Debugging On?

Well. Then you have no choice but to reset. I'm sorry!
This wouldn't have been the situation if you would've been rooted.

As the title says. I was at the store earlier today and got a notification telling me An error has occurred when signing in to my Google account. My signal bars are also grey. First I thought a good 'ol reboot would fix it just like 99% of my problems but still nothing. So I booted into TWRP, and wiped dalvik+cache. Still nothing. I did a full on factory reset and still nothing. Called Google and they gave me some troubleshooting that didn't work. They said if I didn't get it fixed they would replace it so before I dive into another RMA, I thought you guys could help me. Im running cm 10.1.2 latest nightly with Faux123 017b2 kernel if that helps.
Are you able to sign with your Google account anywhere else? Like on a PC?
Have you activated 2-step verification recently?

hey guys so as the title says, i sold my phone without wiping and left my google logged in. is there a way i can remotely wipe it?
There might be. If you enabled it before you sold it.
Go to google.com and then go to the google play store.
Click the little gear on the upper right side. and then click android management.
When there, there is an option to remotely wipe the phone.
However, you must have enabled it on the phone before you sold it.
This is the only way, unless you physically have the phone or nicely ask the guy. Otherwise, just change your google password.
And hope you did not store pictures and other confidential software on it. Good luck.

If you had a corporate exchange account, then go to the corprorate email client on a laptop adn there under options you will find a way to wipe the entire device. This is if you had a corporate exchange account put in.

If you can ring it, then you can locate it via gps.
It says location not available

Hey guys, my question here is that I rooted my phone, got a custom recovery, running a custom ROM and I'm using a pin code request at the lock screen. The thing is if someone stole my phone.... They can delete the data on the phone from the recovery by turning it off and pressing down + power to enter recovery and viola! They have a new phone.... How can I prevent this from happening and make sure the pin stays no matter what?

Write down your imei code in a safe place so that you can give it to the police and your phone company if your phone is stolen. In some countries the service providers will ban phones with imei registered as stolen. However, this only work for the country you live in. In other words, if the thief sells your phone oversea it can still be used.
Regarding factory restore and deleting all your data, I am afraid there is very little you can do to stop the thief. You can use a boot up password, but there are probably ways to circumvent it, especially on a rooted and bootloader unlocked phone. Most security measures are aimed at stopping thieves from accessing your personal data stored on the phone, so they are not too concerned about thieves wiping the phone data. In fact, most security services offer ways to remotely wipe your phone.
Once they have your phone, your only concern is keeping your personal info secure. You're not getting the phone back either way.

True true thank you for trying to help but my point was for thieves not to have that enjoyment that they stole a phone and its useable..... So I can't put a lock for the bootloader menu... Thanx again for your help guys

In future get "trickster mod donate" you can lock the bootloader with it, without wiping the phone and unlock it. If the phones locked with a pin they can't get to your information and you could put other measures on
