[Q] Custom SSL certificates

I would like to use my Xoom to do stuff for work. However, we use a custom self signed certificate to gain access to any of our webpages. Normally we install them manually in our browser on our PC's and I am trying to do the same thing on my tablet.
Is there either a browser for android that allows you to add your own SSL certificates ( I have tried just about everyone I can find, opera, firefox, dolphin, skyfire) but none give me that functionality.
Or
Do I need to install the certificate on the device. I have found an area in which I can install the certificate Settings>Location & Security> Credential Storage>install from USB storage. However when I try to access any of the pages, I do not believe that the browser is using the custom SSL I have installed.
Any ideas or tips? Thanks.

When you say self signed cert, do you mean you have your own CA that you are using in your enterprise? If so, you'll need to install the self signed cert on the device as well as the root CA's cert that you used to sign the cert.

This makes sense.

Thanks for the help.
I installed both the CA that was used to sign the certificate and the actual public key itself however still no avail.
I am still getting a generic error is just stating that it cannot establish a secure connection. The problem is I cannot guarantee that the browser is actually trying to use the cert or not. I would imagine I would be prompted for which to use or to confirm but never have received that.
Looking at the logging on the server I see no error messages. Our system is designed to ask for this SSL for identification and it seems as though the tablet is saying "crap....see ya".
I don't know if it is user error or lack functionality.
Excuse my ignorance.

Is it a local machine account or a microsoft account?
If its local machine. No idea.
If its microsoft. Try logging into any microsoft service in browser and click "forgot my password"

There's, like, 6 different ways to do it, depending on what you've done with the system.
Zeroeth question (already been asked): local account or Microsoft account?
First question: is this your personal account, or the system Administrator account?
Second question: do you have any other admin accounts?
Third question: have you put a password on the actual system Adminstrator account (and/or do you remember it)?
One simple way is to use Safe Mode - a little harder to get to than before, but still possible - and reset the password using the built-in Admin account.

Look up the instructions for booting Win8 into Safe Mode, log in using the local Admin account, and use the "Local Users and Groups" management console to reset the password.
Alternatively, use the recovery tools (present either on the Windows install disk or possibly in the recovery partition) to launch a "recovery console" command prompt. It requires that you are able to log into at least one account on the machine, though; the local Admin may or may not work. If it does, you'll get a command prompt; follow the instructions here: http://www.ehow.com/how_8089008_reset-windows-password-cmd.html
Assuming you haven't set up BitLocker, you could also boot off a Linux Live-CD/Flashdrive image, and use that to access and modify the Windows partition.

I'm not going to get too detailed on this but there is a very useful program I've been using for years, so long as its not a domain account it will work, please note, if you use EFS and change the password on that locked account you will screw it all up, the key is made from your password , gaining access to an account without the password will not give you access to EFS so don't piss about with the password or consider it all gone!
Kon-boot
Google it
Pay for it
Learn it
Use it with extreme caution, best way is to make a new admin user then log in to that to make system changes, EFS will still get screwed tho if you change that users password!!

[Q] How to uninstall wireless certificate?

Hello there guys.
My work's wireless network requires the installation of a certificate to be accessed, which is a .p12 file. I have such a file and the key to access that were used on my notebook, so I tried installing it on my phone to see if it could access the network.
Turns out it still requires some access info I'm unsure about, so I gave up on the idea. Thing is after installing this certificate the phone required me to draw a pattern or a set a code to access the phone, and tbh I was keen on having no security at all.
Now I can't enable lower level security unblocks on my phone, and I can't find where I could uninstall this certificate to remove this lock.
Does anyone know where I can uninstall it, or where I can find the file inside my phone? It's not on the root of the phone anymore.
I have an unrooted GT I9505 (and plan to keep it that way). Thanks!!! :angel:

Hi admins, pls delete this post. I just found out how to do it
Had to go through security and then clear credentials.
Sorry for bothering.

[Q] Q : need to change protected apps password

forgot screenlock pattern

Hi,
Somehow I managed to forget my screenlock pattern (changed before lockdown) on my Samsung j7pro j730GM and it does not show any recovery through google password or similar. I need some help to recover access to my phone (preferably without factory reset).
This is the current situation of my phone:
- NOT Phone Rooted, all default
- Currently logged in with my google account on the phone, but can't access it over the google account (i kind of disabled history and other features in my google acc).
- Also "Unknown Sources" should be enabled on my phone.
If there is any way to recover the password via ADB, or to unlock the Data, that would be just awesome...
Thanks for any help.

Should try using Samsung Account, it can override the screen lock, of course after a two-factors authentication...
I just did it yesterday for a securuty test, works like a charm.

Thank you Saponetto, I will give it a try today. Is samsung account a software or i need to register to website you mean?
Ciao Saponetto. Il Samsung account, sul sito della samsung vuoi dire? devo registrarmi?

Yes, this is the simplest way to gain access to your locked phone... Create a simple account at https://account.samsung.com, then access to "Find My Mobile" page.
There you will be able to reset Password or PIN.
Fast and easy.
