Hi,
yesterday evening my redmi 3s (http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_487801.html) crashed while I used facebook App.
it restarted
i gave in sim-Pin
but normally i use fingerprnt to unlock the phone - this does not work any longer - I tried to unlock the phone with my formerly used pattern but it does not work. perhaps i don't remember. perhaps it is erased, too?
now i can try a pattern each 120 Minutes - then phone is locked if pattern is wrong.
Do you have any ideas how to fix this? this is really important because i do not want to make new rom to the phone.
thank you in andvance

Always you Turn ON or reboot the phone, you must (Yes or Yes) get Unlocked with the Pattern or Pin, the Fingerprint do not work until the phone is unlocked at leat one time.
If you do not remember the Pattern or Pin, you sould to do a factory reset from recovery or flash MIUI rom via fastboot.

Help,
I upgraded my BA, got everything working great, added a password cause i leave it at work mon to friday, came to unlock it and it is saying my password is wrong, i know dam well it is not.
It then said that i had to wait 8 min to re enter eventually.
I tried again to no avail
Is there anyway round this? can i re boot another rom?
PLEASE HELP
Kinjo
I ended up reloading another rom, glad i did because the one that i did was/is better.
Now running WM6 Pro - Build 18125.0.4.2

Try a blank password and check if it works.

If you are sure you are entering the right password then its either...
You got flat battery or somebody might have removed your battery.
The only thing you can do is to Hard Reset your phone and choose the No/Yes/No Option to protect your data.
that will restore the Original Registry BUT your program customization will be gone if you do that.
TIP:
dont use the WM6 System Password.
Find an alternative password protection program on the web.
Hi,
today that happened to me the second time. My battery runs complettely out of charge an then BA doesn´t accept my password. This can´t be right?!?!
can you tell me which alternate password protection software I can use?
SOLVED.
Greets.
A mate of mine forgot his unlock password the other day. At first I thought it was gonna be the same as with Galaxy S - just flash it or better yet do a wipe/factory reset in recovery and be rid of it - boy was I wrong... I tried everything I could come up with - flashing costum SW, different kernels from xda, older/newer original SW, CMW resets etc. - no luck at all.
So now I turn to you beloved XDA and ur techies - does anyone have any idea how we could reset our SGS2's so that this passwords would be gone aswell?
Solution:
Just spam random passwords (think it was 5 wrong) and then a message appears, that the SD card will be reset and a full wipe will be done - press OK and bang the phone boots normally.
In case anyone finds themselves in the same situation. You lose all your data ofcourse but the password is deleted and bang the phone works.
What password are you talking about, because a factory reset in recovery mode should do it.
I am talking about the screen lock with a password. Like I said nothing works... everytime I turn the phone on I get the "Confirm Password" screen thrown in my face
A ROM flash should definitely get rid of that, but I'm very surprised that a factory reset doesn't do it.
Like I said I tried flashing original roms (older and newer of KE2), costum roms (villian, litenin etc.), different kernels - the password is still here.
I'm stumped then mate. I've never had a lockscreen password persist from one ROM to another. I think household insurance and a brick may be the easiest way to remove it
Hehe ye I was not exactly exstatic about it either... I've been playing with roms etc. since my 1st android Samsung Galaxy (GT-I7500) and the one thing that was always persistant was "Software saves" - and now this with the SGS2...
I just tried the same on mine - set the password and flashed the official KF3 - got welcomed with the "Confirm Password" screen and just input my password that I set before and bang the phone finished with the software update and booted normally...
Thinking this thread would be better off in the development section in case anyone will have the time to look into where this stuff is stored and make a workaround (perhaps similar like the nv_data one for network unlock).
This is purely a guess and I haven't tried it on SGS2, but you could try flashing a ROM via Odin and ticking the option "Phone EFS clear". Not sure but this could wipe also the EMMC partition where I have heard the screen lock data is stored in. I won't take any responsibility on bricked phones or other problems though...
I only did try this on my wife's SGS and for it it did not do any harm.

Tut tut matey. It's a question - it's already in the wrong forum
Heh my bad about the placement of the topic
@Pume EFS is actually where the calibration is stored aswell (which is different for every phone/IMEI/RF), but yes I did try it aswell heh, also tried the bootloader update option ticked on - same story still the damn PSD (Password screen of death?).
First you can try to disable the password via adb (in recovery) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110307
If its not the right description you could try to format the data partition in recovery and then flash a new rom. No idea how smart that is on the galaxy s II but on the desire it was perfectly save. Last i believe this is a more common problem and there should be other threads around with solutions.

Oh, good to know anyway. Damn I'm never gonna put a password on mine as I tend to forget even my own birthday
You could try that again(flash a rom) without your SIM card and maybe without your MicroSD. Maybe it syncs with data and get the password lock from there.
Are you sure the password isn't a PUK lock? Try booting the phone without a sim. If it works, then the password is restricting your use of the service by locking you out of the phone. To solve this you can do one of two things:
1. Get the Sim replaced
2. Call your provider for an unlock code and GET RID OF IT in the security settings under sim-lock
Hope that helped!
Actually I always flash roms without the SD card and SIM as I've come to realise some .pit's acutally repartition your SD card aswell thus erasing it - cheers for the post tho.
@TheGhost1233
You might be on to something with that actually but now I have another problem... for some reason everytime I want to go to recovery it shows that little yellow box (the usual one before going into recovery) and then back to the dumbass PSD. So I can't get ADB working now at all.
I almost don't want to post this hehe...
But ye found a solution - spammed random passwords (think it was 5 wrong) and then a message appeared, that the SD card will be reset and a full wipe will be done - pressed OK and bang the phone boots normally

I think this is anti-theft protection, at least your info is gonna be deleted if someone steals it
Hi, I'm trying to get my phone back. I lost my phones password that is used to unlock the phone.
I dont know my google account im using on the phone either. Yes this is my phone.
I dont want to get locked out with google frp either
If i put twrp on and do a factory wipe, will i still need the pin?
Also, my phone doesn't need the pin to boot. thanks in advance

No you won't need a pin in twrp if you have not encrypted the device..no you won't need pin to boot, but frp might get you..not sure how that works, I also feel like there are files you can delete through twrp to remove lock code, someone else will have to confirm this though, just something I heard
thanks but its not a concern now. I was on latest official ota update, flashed twrp but cant get lineage, or any custom rom to fully boot. It just gets to the logo screen and wont go any further. I have not used my moto a while.

FRP is disabled on unlocked bootloader.
PIN can be deleted with twrp's file manager.
LOS - you flashed wrong build. You need custom rom for N Modem. LOS by Hashbang works on N modem.
Hi,
I tried to change the pattern of my device, it seems that I didn't set what I thought and now that I restarted my system, the device (Android 7) is asking my for a pattern to let me turn it on, that I don't know.
Of course I'm the owner from this device, with my Google account and everything but I made a misstake and I don't know how to fix it.
What are my options now?, Should I restart the device with recovery options, wiping data user and that or what do I need to do?
Regards in advance.
Do you by any chance have TWRP installed? If so, there are certain files you can delete to remove the pattern.
Try it enough times and it should offer to unlock another way, then use your Google account.
And don't use pattern unlock... PIN an fingerprint are fine.
Hi to all.
I changed the unlock pattern of my Motorola G6 Plus (Evert). After that I forgot that change. I normally unlock the phone by fingerprint. Some long time later when I switched it off and on again it asked for the unlock pattern and I entered the void old pattern several times. Then I relized my mistake but could not remember the new pattern. So I tried to guess and did even more wrong entries. Now I think I remember most part of the new pattern, but 18 alternatives are left. I tried all of these but the device remains locked. The counter is at 170 invalid entries now. Does anyone know if the correct pattern will be accepted after so many false entries?
The Motorola helpdesk is not able to help. They don't answer that question clearly but tell me to change to fastboot mode and do a factory reset. Fastboot screen doesnt show up (is black) but fastboot is working. I tried to flash the stock rom from Motorola (without erasing the partition 'userdata') and got bootloader messages. No errors occured but the device is still locked.
Is there any way to bypass the lockscreen without loosing my data?

The one and only way needs an unlocked bootloader + an unencrypted data partition + TWRP. But in your case it's impossible. All you can do is to reset your device.
Dear WoKoschekk,
Thank you for the information.
I still have one question: If I enter the correct unlock pattern now, will it be accepted after so many false tries?
I think I already entered it correctly but I am not completely sure. So does it make sence to keep on trying?
Thank you for helping me.
