Hi, I want to install a certain certificate, however I keep getting asked to enter password for credential storage (same issue when I go to VPN settings). Obviously, I tried all the possible passwords and pins I know, but no luck so far. I also tried some stuff suggested on this forum such as changing lock-screen security and wiping credential storage (it's grayed out for me), all to no avail.
Is there a way for me to remove this PW without doing something as radical as factory reset? I'm running original GT-I9505 S4 Android 4.4.2 Kit-kat.
One week has passed, still having the same problem. Anyone?

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.
I'm running Omega ROM v16, and in Settings, Security, Encrypt Device, all but the Password option is grayed out and disabled. It says: Turned off by administrator, encryption policy or credentials storage. Under device administrators, there are 3 apps, but none of them are checked. Clear Credentials is grayed out too (I think because I don't have any non-system certificates). I don't have any VPN set up.
Any ideas?
Possible theories:
Hola - which uses VPN to work because Root mode doesn't work for some reason
SEAndroid is permissive, due to ROM settings
Help, please?
I received my Nexus 6P today, which is running Android 6.0.
By default, the device is encrypted. But it seems most apps that I try to run that require encryption don't realize that my device is encrypted and I'm getting errors and loops: Gmail, Sunrise, Mailwise, Outlook.
Is there something I can do to get these apps to work?
I don't seem to be able to disable and re enable encryption.
Is this happening to anybody else?
6P has hardware encryption. You need to encrypt it through software also.

Thank you. That seems to fix it. For those people googling this you get there from Settings > Security > PIN Lock > Secure Start-up
Not a very intuitive fix and should probably be bundled with the encryption settings.
I skipped through the startup to unlock and root the phone immediately when I got it and I didn't get the option for secure startup afterwords, took me forever to find that setting.
(Hopefully this is the right place.)
Those who have installed @hsbadr's CM13 port for the 910V might have found that fingerprints can't be deleted from Settings. Well, after not finding much on Google and having to resort to searching my filesystem, I believe I have found the two files that deal with fingerprint data and configuration. Since there seems to be nothing online about this, I want to share what I did.
To remove fingerprint and lock data, delete these two files:
Code:
/data/validity/template.db
/data/system/users/0/settings_fingerprint.xml
Reboot once they've been deleted, and then set up your lock settings again.
I was in a situation where I had only deleted template.db. That just screwed everything up and made it so I couldn't even set a pattern or PIN unlock without Settings crashing. Deleting the second file as well fixed it for me.
It could also be helpful to delete /data/system/locksettings.db, but I'm not entirely sure if it will have any effect other than resetting every setting under Lock Screen.
So I'm having this issue where my SM-G950F looses ALL known Networks when Wifi gets toggled.
I installed the update which came on the 21.04 but since I'm rooted I can't recieve OTA Updates anymore
Wlan driver is: Wlan v1.0 Release 1
Is there any fix for this?
Exactly the same issue with root here
I'm also rooted and having the same issue
Still happening .... does noone have a clue how to fix this ?
I've got the very same issue. It's very annoying. Hope someone finds a fix soon.
I'm also on a rooted Samsung S8+.
I think I have the same problem, but only when the WiFi-network has a password. It will remember the networks without password but as soon as I reboot or toggle Wifi it will have forgotten the network and password.
I also noticed the information disappears from the wpa_supplicant.conf-file.
I tried to solve it by:
- Deleting cache and data of google backup transport
- Deleting the DHCP-folder in /data/mics/
- Deleting the network-info in wpa_supplicant.conf
- Setting ro.secure.storage=false to false in BuildProp
- Deleting the ss_data-folder in /efs/
Nothing worked.
I have a Galaxy S8 (SM-G950F), Android 7.0 rooted with Magisk. To make room for Open GApps I had to remove some system-apps.
- Any of you installed Open GApps as well?
- I also noticed I had to enter a bluetooth passkey today. Although I previously connected my phone to my car. Could it be bluetooth is also affected?

I've also rooted with Magisk but I haven't removed any apps/installed GApps.
I've noticed the same with Bluetooth, my Zenwatch3 will ask me to confirm the passkey on my phone before pairing.
Did you by any chance enable 'unified hosts adblock' in Magisk? It was the cause of my problems. Disabled that and it worked.

Hmm interesting...
I've enabled "systemless host" in magisk but I'm using AdAway app rather than the "Unified Hosts Adblock" module.
I'll mess about with these and see if it resolves.
Same issue here on 955f, rooted with magisk, dhcp folder and file changed, systemless host off and still no wifi in memory. Has someone performed wipe to see if the issue has been resolved this way? Thanks
