I have wave secure on my phone....... i removed the sim and booted the phone so it locked..... i entered the wavesecure unlock pin and it unlocked and i have validated this on the screen.
but the phones lock screen is stuck and it will not accept my PIN even though im 100% sure its correct.
Is there a way to disable it or change it..... i have ADB access?
thanks

Anyone know of a way to *keep* the unlock with fingerprint scan after enabling a VPN ?
The default behavior/policy forces you to switch to either a password or a PIN
the wierd thing is ,, that i tried it on Samsung S6 with same 5.1.1 android and it was working fine ,,,
i have zuk z1 and fingerprint is disabled by administrator
HI,,,,
i have Samsung galaxy s4 GT-I9500 and i want to put password in boot-loader , so im using Philz_recovery and set password in recovery . i need to this to protect my phone if i lost it form any one can to change rom
thanks
Smartphones don't have a BIOS like a computer would. On a computer you can set a BIOS password as it in effect is its own operating system. Enter the password and the BIOS initializes what it needs to do then passes control to the bootloader.
On a smartphone, while there is low level firmware like a BIOS, there is no way of accessing it by the ordinary person, thus no need of a password prompt. The bootloader doesn't have a password because its only job is to set up the device environment for the operating system. Thus the only way to password protect a device is through a pattern lock, pin number, or password on Android's lock screen.
One last thing: Philz is two years out of date. Use TWRP instead.
thanks for your reply , helpful answer , but i want to know how can i protect my phone if stolen that some one cannot change the rom by go to download mode and using Odin so( if i put password in android lock screen , and put password in custom recovery and put password in download mode It will make it difficult to change the rom and make my phone unusable)
any Suggestions
thanks
If you had truly read my post you would have noticed two things.
1. Password protection of the bootloader (and download mode) isn't available.
2. Focus on securing the data.
So the answer to your request for suggestions is simple. Don't lose your phone.
All you can do is encrypt the phone, use Android Device Manager, and use a strong password.
