After you failed numerous times, doesn't the phone give you the option to log in your google account and reset the passcode?
If you haven;t log into your google account in the phone (you go to play.google.com, and use the Android device manager to change your passcode, or enter the code wrong many times and it will let you have an option to reset by your gmail).
Or if you don't have adb debugging enable or someway to access it, there is no way except factory reseting.
How in earth you forget your code and can't log into the google account?
You aren't using someone elses phone are u?

If usb debugging is disabled, then no, there's no way.

Install adb, connect your phone to your PC, then use the command "adb devices". If a device code is listed, then it's enabled.

Hello guys,
my son has a ZTE A7, and he was dumb enough to set lock screen with a complicated pattern which he forgot.
When he tried to unlock the phone, he wasn't able to do it and now it is locked.
He gets a message saying that there where too many failed attempts to unlock the phone, and the it asks for the gmail user and pwd. This would be great if wi-fi or 3g was active, which is not the case.
I've searched and found some ways to unlock the phone, but I'm stuck because phone isn't rooted usb debugging may or may not be enabled.
Any suggestion on how to workaround this? Or does he owns now a nice brick?
Thanks a lot if anyone can give an idea.

I've googled for a hard reset solution and found it: using emergency call just had to do the following:
Remove battery and reinsert it.
Remove memory card
Touch emergency call
Key in *983*987#
dial
Done, problem solved!
Hi,
i'm facing the Problem that "unlocking the oem bootloader is not allowed". Now i recognized the "allow oem bootloader unlocking" option in developer options is unset, and i'm not able to set it because it asks for a PIN. Am i the only one with this problem? How can i unlock Bootloader / Install TWRP?
I got the international Version of Z1.
Thanks!

disable the pin and then try it again, i can also recommend to root the phone via Kingroot and then modify the aboot image. link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/help/guide-unlock-bootloader-zuk-z1-wiping-t3251801

Hi,
My phone was lost/stolen. I have enabled request pin on boot and enhanced security. Is there any way to break the encryption eg.: factory reset or ROM flashing? I just want to be sure about that nobody can use my phone anymore.
Thanks!
Hello!
After upgrade of sw reset was made and I needed to put password for fingerprint unlock, which I don't remember.
Is there a way to unlock it or at least backup data from phone? I don't want to make factory reset.
Phone is not rooter, so no recovery mode...
Also USB debugging is not enabled. This would also help if someone can help with that.
Please help!
