Please help :(

Guys i know this is not the correct place but someone can please tell me "what to do if i have lost my password" ??
I am using Windows 7
Laptop of Sony Vaio
Please someone help

I know that this could possibly be used malicously but if you can access another computer, download OphCrack and burn it to a CD or write it to a USB drive and you can use that to recover your password. I've used it multiple times on Windows Installations for friends who forgot their passwords on their home computers, it does work. xD

simply download the ISO, burn it to disc and then boot it, it will have the utility for recovering the password. Three are hundreds of tutorials on how to recover your password with OphCrack

I use a program called Kon-Boot, its good enough for most tasks, it wont help if your part of a domain, it also wont help if you have encrypted any drives or folders.
it wont tell you the password
so how does it work?
well, the short answer is that it hijacks the boot sequence and bypasses the password check, you just click on the user and ignore the password, once your in you can change your password or a safer option is to add another admin account, then log in to that and change your password. The problem is if you encrypted anything, then im afraid to say your ****ed!
you see the encryption key is part made up by your actual password, so by using my method to change the password, what you will end up with is data still encrypted on your old password.
the ethical uses of this are limited, but there are uses which is why im happy to share it, just don't **** around if for any reason some data is encrypted and the password is likely to "turn up" again because once you've opened this bag of worms you cant go back so essentially the data will "vanish"

[APP][ICS] EncPassChanger -- set different device encryption and lock screen password

Android 3+ has a nice feature -- device encryption. You can encrypt the contents of your device with a password, and after that this password must be entered during device boot, otherwise the data is permanently lost.
The bad thing is that this password is set to the screen lock PIN / password. So you either set a short password or PIN, that you can enter quickly each time you unlock your phone from sleep (but this provides weak encryption), or set a long password and have to type it 20-30 times during the day.
This stupid behavior may be fixed easily. Android provides command-line tool called 'vdc', an interface to Android Volume Manager. As written in "Notes on the implementation of encryption in Android 3.0" [1], it has a command 'cryptfs changepw', that allows changing encryption password. Of course this command must be executed as root.
vdc has some other commands related to encryption, one of them is 'cryptfs verifypw', that allows to validate the supplied password.
I'm currently writing an application that will assist user with changing encryption password. This is my first public application for Android. You can find a source code on GitHub [2]. It is very simple, but maybe android gurus here may find what to make better.
Comments and pull requests are welcome
Thanks!

Sorry im noob
What will change visualy?

Thank you for this. I wanted a more simple password for the unlock, but a longer more complicated password for the decryption. You should put it on the market and charge $.99USD (or equivalent in your currency) as it's quite useful. I'd buy it

Thank you!
Actually I have registered myself as Google Play Developer, now I'm waiting for approval. As soon as my registration is approved, I will update this thread
Although I'm going to make a free and donate versions, because I believe that will help to make Android better, and people who want to say "Thank you" will buy Donate version anyway

Nothing will change visually, hence no screenshot. What's important is that you may set strong password for decrypting the internal storage, but keep using simple password (or PIN) to unlock the screen.
P.S. I have verified that my app works on Jelly Bean too.

I have finally published an application on Google Play! Currently there is a free version, Donate version will come a bit later
The link is: https:// play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kibab.android.EncPassChanger
Enjoy!

Thanks for that app, that is also what annoyed me

Thanks for this. I've been trying to work out why encryption wont work on any ROM on my HOX (dies with unable to get size of block device cryptfs), and you have given me a good lead to investigate with vdc. Information on encryption in android is sparse, and almost all threads here on XDA get no replies.
Thanks again.

I've been tempted to use device encryption recently, but there is a distinct lack of information about it, particularly on custom ROMs...
Might need to give it a go, just the lack of backup abilities might be an issue...

I use CM10 on the Galaxy Nexus (maguro). Encrypted. Actually, only /data is encrypted. /system stays unencrypted. And this App works as described.
For Backup use TWRP. It asks for your password to decrypt storage.
You can then backup, restore, flash, install whole ROMs, wipe and what not.

btw. The encrypted /data partition lets you have two boot animations, one that is shown before code has been entered (the one in /system/media) and one after the correct code entry (the one in /data/local).

Hmm... I have i9100 (S2), so I would need to see about putting TWRP onto it...
Yeah, only data and SD are encrypted... Can TWRP cope with encrypted SD btw?

Great, it's easier than to change on command line
This should just be default android behavior

Yes, SD is encrypted too. And TWRP can only read from it after correct code entry. Don't know about the external SD though (since the Galaxy Nexus doesn0t have one).

Wish I had a second phone, then I could just research this

Quite awesome. Now, can I use a strong password for encryption and then pattern lock for normal day to day use? That would be my ideal situation. I heart pattern lock!

Just trying to clarify how this works... so you keep your normal 'short' pin unlock code for unlocking the screen, but set a long code for decryption, and this code will only be requested once per boot, during bootup? Is this correct?
Thanks

How it works
Yes Sir. You are correct.

Unfortunately it's not possible to use pattern lock while using device encryption, Android forbids it. Patching Android framework will help, but this is completely another story and possible suggestion for ROM makers such as Cyanogenmod.

Is the 16 character Android limitation present, when using this tool? I currently use a 16 character device encryption/unlock pass phrase. I'd like to strengthen the device pass phrase some more.
I don't know if this is even possible during the device boot sequence, but being able to use a Yubikey with an OTG cable would be awesome!

This is working. Easy oem unlock on samsung

When the binary is blocked by the FRP you must install the factory firmware, then enter the recovery and do a factory reset since the FRP prevents external access to the system and data as prevention
You will be prompted for the email and password of the previously used account
When activating the oem unlock you can install Twrp, kernel or custom rom without the activation of FRP security that is activated when you establish a security pattern in the device

I found a way to remove FRP on Samsung J5(6) SM-J510FN model, Android 6.0.1 without flashing the phone, or using Odin, RealTerm or other SW tools, it might work on other samsung devices running Marshmallow 6.0.1 too.
As a new user, I am not able to enter any URLs for the files. do a search for the following APKs instead: Android 6GAM.apk and FRP_REMOVE.apk
Download the above APKs on your comuter, copy them to microSD and insert it in the phone.
Turn on the phone, connect to wi-fi, once you get to the screen when you need to enter your email, press on "mike" icon and choose Settings>>Text Shortcuts>>Add>> and type random text, select it all, then long tap and choose "Assist".
Tap on "No, Thanks" and Type "Galaxy Apps". Galaxy App will come up, tap on it and sign in when launched.
Install ES File Explorer, when launched, go to "sdcard" dropdown>>select the microSD card with the apk files. Install Android 6GAM.apk first, once complete, tap on "Done", install FRP_REMOVE.apk, once done, tap on "Open". This will launch Google Account Manager.
If you are not familiar what to do here, then do the following:
- Look for “Type Email and Password”>>Tap to launch it>>Tap on Try
- Tap on the three dots and choose “Browser sign-in”>>OK
- Sign in with your google account details and wait until you get back to “Google Account Manager”
- Tap on the back button until you get back to the phone setup wizard, you can go as back as to wi-fi settings.
- You can now follow the setup wizard, it will tell you that a new account has been created.
- Once you can access settings on the phone, you can do another factory reset, this tyme without FRP.
Hope this helps
Good luck!

Got two old Samsung J5(6) from work. We don't know de original name anymore. The one we mostly use don't work.
Is there a option the get them to work again without paying someone for a hack?
I know how to flash a rom, but I read that doesn't work anymore? (I did this things on the galaxy 1 and 2... so that old...)
I tried some tutorials on the web, but they are old and don't work anymore.
Anyone a new howto that does work?

pattern-locked p9-lite, how to recover at least the photos?

The phone is fully working and connected on the Internet with the google account and everything, but who set the pattern to unlock the screen also forgot it
Apparently Google remove the option to set a temporary password using the Android Device Manager to unlock the device and the USB debugging is disable on the phone (so I guess no abd).... any ideas on how to recover the photos stored on the internal memory?

First of all, we need to know if it is yours. There are thiefs that steal phones and try to access personal data for their pleasure.

Hisuite for photos.

I'm actually trying to help the owner of the phone, no thief involved here

Since the google account is setup and the device has also internet connection, I was thinking about installing an app remotely from the play store website... but which one? I need one that installs, spawns a service and automatically exposes the content of the internal storage without touching it (wifi, ftp, ...). Any ideas?

I remember that recovery factor reset didn't remove the internal storage (in my case)

The official Huawei customer support answered saying that for android >5.1.1 the procedure is to take a backup and disconnect the account before firing the "Wipe Data Factory Reset" from the recovery, if not all the user's data will be lost.

Then the last method is this :
If you still have the warranty, make sure it has the same IMEI as the one written on the warranty (you can check what imei you have by removing the sim tray and look at the IMEI written on it), then go to HUAWEI and tell them that you forgotten your password and you need your files. They will ask you for the warranty and some security questions.(maybe, idk)
If you don't have warranty, then sorry, you are screwed.

Does the device have a stock or custom recovery installed? In the case of a custom one, you don't need to enable USB debugging in the actual system; you can just boot into the recovery and go to town with ADB.
In the case of a stock ROM, try installing fastboot and ADB drivers, and booting into fastboot mode. I can't remember the exact key combination, but once you're booted into fastboot and connected to your PC via USB you should be able to flash TWRP or CWM without enabling debugging, I think. Guides to do this can be googled. Make sure to use the right .img for your phone though, or you'll brick it.
Once that's done and you're able to boot into a custom recovery, do so, connect to your PC via USB, fire up ADB, and use one of the following commands:
su
adb shell
cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
sqlite3 settings.db
update system set value=0 where name='lock_pattern_autolock';
update system set value=0 where name='lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently';
.quit
or
su
adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key
The first of these will nullify the order in which the pattern or PIN is supposed to be inserted, meaning you can do whatever and unlock the phone. The second removes the PIN or pattern entirely.
Let me know how this went, and if you need any help, feel free to reply here or PM me. I'll get back at you as soon as I can.

How to bypass gesture screen lock on Samsung Galaxy S10+ without losing data

Hi there,
I have Samsung Galaxy S10+ (SM-G975F/DS) in front of me. Device has pattern (gesture) screen lock (3x3) enabled. Phone's owner forgot his gesture. How to bypass this lock without losing data (no factory settings reset option).
What I have tried:
- connect phone over USB trying ADB. Since there is no USB debugging enabled ADB is deaf/blind. I cannot access files in /data/system to delete gesture.key file
- I have tried to connect SD card and install Aroma File Manager https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108 but I was not able to mount a card. My tip is, that phone will not recognize new card when such card is inserted in locked regime.
- I have tried "adb sideload aroma-file-manager.zip" but it fails on "signatures". My tip is that you can manually update android only with files signed by manufacturer.
- "dr.fone - Unlock" has no support for Samsung Galaxy S10+
Limitations:
- I'm not able to mount new SD card
- ADB can do only "adb sideload ..."
- USB debugging is disabled
What else to try?
Can I somehow access phone system files using USB?

Easy way is use the Samsung findmymobile site to unlock. If you know the Samsung Account credentials.

This was not so bad advice. I will call on Monday to Samsung and ask them if phone with that IMEI has any Samsung Account.
But still, any other idea?

If he had a PC, it can have the Samsung Account already logged or with login and password saved on Chrome password manager for example.
