SIM PIN code question

Ok, I typed in the incorrect SIM PIN code 2 times (since I did not remember it) and I only have "1 attempt left".
Now, I managed to find my SIM PIN code and I got in.
But next time I reboot my phone, will it reset itself back to the default "3 attempts left"?
Or, will it be always "1 attempt left" even when rebooting or after powering ON the phone again?
Phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 GTi9505.
Thx in advance!

Yes the pin now is reset to 3 attemts again do not worry.
Even if you do 3 times wrong code u can use the PUK code to reset the PIN code.

But in general, whenever I should reboot my phone, will it automatically reset to "3 Attempts Left" again?
Just to confirm.
Thx

Pin Reset !

No. Pin is reseting to 3 after u put the correct PIN and login to the phone. Not by just restarting your phone.

Ohhhh yeah yeah yeah....Sorry!!!!!!! My fault....
Thats what I meant, so lets say I had entered the incorrect PIN 2 times and then on the last attempt I enter the correct code then after rebooting the phone, it should reset back to "3 Attempts left"
Am I correct this time?
Sorry for the mis-understanding.

Yes.

Yes this is correct.

be careful.
when you have entered the wrong pin for 3 times, the phone want to get the puk(superpin).
and when you have entered for 10times the wrong puk, your simcard will be destroyed.
This happened to my daughter.

[Q] Can't use pattern lock, swipe lock & pin in my S3 Neo i9301i?

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo i9301i from Italy without any service offer. But i use it in Bangladesh. When i tried to use that phone here it say's to give a pin code for network lock. I went to nearest local service center and they unlock the phone in some way but i can't use my Swipe, Pattern lock . I can only use password. It is very painful giving password every time. Here is a screenshot of my lock screen. Can anyone help me about this matter?

Hmm seems that your device is encrypted.. dont know why it disabled features for you.. i suggest wiping data/ factory reset over recovery mode ( vol up + home + power ) to see if it will help. Note that this will remove everythign from your phone so backup important data

Maybe because in Italy is Locked,but i don't think that has to do...
Horrible english but i'm italian

Go to LOCK SCREEN and change to swipe or what ever you whant? Than write the password you already have signed and done. I make the same and its working for me.
(sorry for my english)

I have already tried that too. It say's Pattern lock, swipe and other's lock system are disabled by administrators, credential manage or encryption policy. Please see my uploaded image

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I had encrypted my phone. Do you know anything about if i do factory reset/wiping data, will it show again a network lock? If it become network lock again it will cost me about 20$

Strange i just encrypt but when i go to lock screen i enter the password and now i normal i dont know what will happen after charge or reboot.
And dont be nervous i try to help your choice did you will accept.
(sorry for mistakes and for my english)

Well, if factory reset does not solve your problem, the alternative that I can think of is to use ODIN to flash stock firmware.

Thanks all for reply. I just solved the problem. It was happening for encrypting my device. After decrypting my device the problem is solved

Bootloader and Pin screen

alright i successfully rooted but whenever i restart my phone it shows up both the bootloader screen and the enter pin screen. How do i remove those screens to just go straight to my lock screen?

The 'your phone can't be checked for corruption' message can be removed, but you risk black-screening your phone and I still fon' know how people recovered from this. Don't try, I tell you.
And the PIN i dunno, but I'm pretty sure it's got something to do with encryption. Try to format data from TWRP (NOT just wipe, use the button that says Format data, that is right beside the Advanced Wipe one), but you'll lose your internal storage too. Or just wait for someone that knows more than me to respond on this matter. I'm sure the PIN screen will disappear after you do that, but maybe there's an easier way.

Nope...you need to wipe your data to get rid of the pin screen...
Hope you backed up anything irreplaceable...

Wipe or format? Usually wipe doesn't do anything to encryption

I just factory reset m,ine through recovery after unlock... That worked...

askes for password or pin whenever restart phone

hey guys whenever i restart the phone it asks for pin or the password i setup and than only it will start the phone, why
is this normal, how to fix this

That's normal.... You'll always have to provide password or pin for the first time after phone reboots. Unless you select none for your lockscreen unlock method

My phone in the beginning asked every time I restarted but now it doesn't ask for anything. Is something wrong?

There's two levels of lock. One is the lock before android starts and second one after boot is finished.
If your phone isn't asking for an unlock password/pin it's possible you may have disabled it. You can enable the lock before device starts by going through the same process as normal but checking Yes when it asks the question. See my attached image for how the screen looks. If you select No you can apply a regular after boot lock.

Change secure start up settings
Is there a way to change secure start up settings aside from reset factory settings? Thanks in advance

[Q] Forgot Security Pattern and Need Help!

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?
