Guys I have setup my fingerprint with a pin to unlock and now I can't add another fingerprint nor delete . It keeps asking for the pin number infinitely. Is there a way to solve this? Without factory reset. Thanks

Is there a known method to Hard Reset the phone? I don't mean a "Factory Reset" that just deletes data. I mean one the re-flashes the ROM?
I unlocked my device with an unlock code, and now, after a restart it thinks that all SIM cards, other than the original carrier's, have SIM security enabled.
It wasn't doing this initially, and insists on doing this even after a Factory Reset. So, I was wondering if a Hard Reset might get it to behave.....

I am also in a similiar situation and need a proper hard reset.I have tried using the MFG app and the LG upgrade app but without luck.
One of my LG E900 optimus 7 phones had the unlock code input 3 times wrong and now requires a PUK - Phone unlock key - odd as this is different to a sim puk which is pin unlock key.
I am hoping the upcoming wp7 update will revert it to only asking for pin, to allow me to enter the unlock code.
There is probably a registry key you could alter to bypass the security issue you/I are having but i have not discovered anything yet.
A TurboSim appears to work for me for the time being. But sadly, international roaming doesn't work with it....
Guess we'll have to wait until the first update ships.

Hard reset - cold boot
LG Hard RESET means COOLD start is on the keys....
Hold down the VOLUME + - and the camera button and turn the power button the phone ...
Phone back to factory settings
like from box
Yea. Though it looks like a hard reset doesn't work either. I believe that some change has occurred on another partition and probably, only a full rom flash will fix it. Waiting for the update....

okay, so i was trying a new rom and i backup my old rom in my USB-OTG.
so after restoring my backup i successfully booted up my device and when i was on lock screen. i try to use my fingerprint and it asked me to insert my PIN so i insert my PIN, but it keep saying WRONG PIN. and i am sure that my PIN is correct !
i tried to get the option to recover my pin using my google account but that option is not coming up ! i tried 100 times !
is there any other way i can reset my pin ?
UPDATE: So just after posting this thread i found this solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/psa-twrp-backups-lockscreen-security-t3245070
and it worked ! and problem solved !
Just remember to disable all lockscreen security before you make your backup next time.
Hello! From time to time I keep myself busy with smartphones. Now i've got P9 Lite with an issue that is difficult for me to fix. The first problem was about SIM lock i guess. The phone couldn't read new SIM card. My dad did a factory reset through recovery mode and here starts the real problem. I CAN'T LOG TO ANOTHER GOOGLE ACCOUNT THAN ONE BEFORE FACTORY RESET. To remove SIM lock I have to reinstall the whole system but i can't do that because bootloader is locked. I can't unlock it because i can't get into the phone and I don't own it so I have no box with IMEI numbers and so on. I'll try to contact the person who owns the phone about the google account before but I wonder maybe there's another solution? Thanks in advance.

You can go to stock recovery and wipe your user data. Otherwise you're out of luck as I guess your data is encrypted.
