So I've been trying to back up my phone's data before rooting...I've tried several method which are all doing the same thing. What happens is when I get prompted to enter the password, I enter it, press Back Up My Data, and the window dissappears and goes back to the app that was open before. I don't get any error message to tell me my password is wrong, but I have a feeling that's the problem. Is there any way of changing the password or fixing the issue I talked about above?
Thanks.

Hi, I recently flashed my SGS to I9000XXJVP, after flash, it keep on loop into recovery mode and prompt for password. I have flash my phone several time, this is the first I encounter this. Can someone help please. I have tried many combination, like 0000, 12345 etc.. but failed. I just can't figure out why there is a prompt for password, is it I set the screen lock pattern, but there is screen lock pattern, I do not set for password.
Please someone help, I can't use my phone now.
Thanks.
Just type any password several times. And phone reset all settings.
For some reason, this screen showed up asking for my password. The phone booted automatically because I set the clock, but it didn't ring and this screen showed up, causing me to be late for work. Any idea what it is? I don't even have a password set on this device.
did you install twrp?
No, I'm still waiting for an official bootloader unlock
I've just updated to Oreo and after doing all of the updates, installs etc it's taken me back to the screen to enter the main password but the keyboard won't pop up to get back in.
I've tried restarting a million times, tried going to the reboot screen but chickened out because I don't want to factory reset accidentally.
Can anyone help?
TIA
HELP!!
Please please please help someone. :crying:
I've just tried to clear the cache partition. I've also been on the phone to samsung and they've had me go in to my samsung account to unlock from in there but nothing is working.
It all comes back to the phone asking me to type in my password which I'd be happy to do if it would open up the darned keyboard.
Just a thought but when you get to the password bit have you tried pressing the back soft key I've had a few times when I've reset the keyboard hasn't appeared and that fixes it it's caused for me by it trying to setup the emoji setting at the wrong time

Thanks so much for replying. I was beginning to lose hope.
There is no back button when I'm on the enter password page. Just a down arrow that takes me back to the screensaver/notification page.
Wonder if the update screwed something download the firmware for your phone from samfirm program and download Odin and flash phone bit you will loose data so back it up first
Hi everyone,
I don't know if this is a Tab A question, a Samsung question, an Android question, or a Marshmallow question.
I have an older tablet (SM-P350 with stylus) that I haven't been using a lot and I have forgotten the unlock pattern I was using. I am able to log in using the backup PIN, which I do remember, but I have to make several failed attempts to draw the pattern before I am prompted to enter the PIN. I'd like to start using the tablet more, but I don't want to have to do this every time.
I went to the security settings to change my login, but under "Screen lock type," it prompts me for my pattern, and after a failed attempt, it tells me I have to wait 45 minutes to try again! I am not given the option of entering the PIN. So I can't change the pattern OR change the screen lock type without knowing the old pattern! Does anyone know how I can use the backup PIN to do this?
As a last resort, I decided to do a factory reset. When I tried to do so from the menu, it prompted me for the security pattern!
I've tried twice to use the power and volume down buttons to reset, but I don't seem to be able to get to the recovery menu.
Now I can't log in to shut down and try again, because it's telling me I have to wait an hour!
And finally, one additional complicating factory is this: the tablet has been rooted -- not by me, but by the previous owner.
What can I do?
