Looking for some help, my kid's phone that they had in HS was locked with a password. She is in college now and recently found out that a friend passed and she asked help to get in the phone to get the photos since she forgot the password "it was so long ago".
We've tried Samsung unlock but she never enabled the remote unlock. Have the gmail it was tied to but back up wasn't turned on. I've seen some mention using twrp to fix it but not sure how to do it if not sure if debug is on or not. Been out of the flashing game for a while, since my s5/s3 needed it.
The phone is auto connecting to Wi-Fi. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
When I turn on my MDA Compact, I'm met with a box asking for a password.
The password has been set by my girlfriend, who has forgotten what it was!
It's only numbers and it's only 4 digits. Any way to get around it without doing a hard reset? Cheers.
As I know it there is no feature like that built in... so it's probably essential to know what kinda software is asking for the password.
There's no software on it at all. It's definitely a Windows Mobile 2003 feature.
I cannot, however, remember exactly where to find the option for it.
The phone was hard reset the other day so there's definitely no third party software.
Unfortunately, ActiveSync also asks for the password. I've receieved messages and stuff since the password went on and I have a feeling that one or two of them have been quite important, so I'd rather not do a hard reset to fix the problem.
Any advice?
That's the built-in security feature. Settings->System->Security I think.
And yes, with the feature on, you can't active sync it as well. That's to prevent un-authorized access to the unit.
The best bet you can get is to bruteforce your way into the unit from a PC with activesync. There are only 10,000 possible combination, which should be pretty fast for a PC to bruteforce in. You might want to search the net for bruteforce on activesync.
BTW, it is rather weird that the unit has been set with a forgotten password and being used without once activesync. What do you use the phone for? Just phone? You sure you are not trying to gain unauthorize access to your gf phone?
It is a wm2003 feature. Just go Settings->Personal->password and voila! Unfortunatelly the only obvious way to get rid of it is to hard reset your device.

Hehe, no, my girlfriend has a Nokia.
She likes playing with my phone though so she was wandering through it last night, set a password and then decided not to tell me. Then I tried to use it earlier to find it asking for a password and she can't remember what it is
Women!
I can't find anything on brute force, do you know of anything in particular?
I have the password now but whenever I enter it the pda freezes...
Women have problems remembering passwords. I have to keep a note of password for my gf.
Anyway, since you have the password now, try active sync it?
My friend has recently passed away. He owned a Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G531H. The family wants to recover the pictures and contacts from the phone but the phone is password locked, with stock recovery and the download mode is FRP locked and last but not the least wifi and 3g is turned off. Please kindly suggest solutions. Thanks!
Sorry for your friend. My deepest condolences. :'(
I don't know any solution for that. Sorry
If he by some chance had ADB enabled, you could probably find a computer that he authorized and use that. You can probably check by running 'adb devices', pretty sure it will show the device but obviously you wouldn't be able to interface with it. From there on you just need to find a computer he's authorized prior.
Side note: Unfortunately, ADB isn't supported in recovery mode on samsungs, so you can't rip the photos(and/or break password) using that.
To gain internet access you *might* be able to use a OTG ethernet adpater. I've never used one, I don't know if this device supports it, and I don't know if you can just plug it in without any user input. But I think this option is worth looking into. Then you can reset the password from his google account or something
That's all I have for now, hopefully you can them photos
I have a former coworker who is foreign, who has me help him with tech stuff among other things. Today he asked me to fix his sister's tablet, a Galaxy Tab A (sm-t580) which wasn't functioning correctly.
understandably, the tablet had its language set for their native language and due to the issues it was having we could not get the language changed so i could work on the tablet properly. The next best course of action was to reset the tablet. so I did.
now comes the issue: my friend and his family primarily use iOS devices, bought the tablet used and never set up their own google account on the device.
So it is FRP locked and nobody knows the necessary account info.
At first I told him that the tablet was useless now, but after a little digging saw that this was something i might be able to get around and fix for him.
Digging further, all I found was conflicting or missing instructions on how to properly do this........
A boot into recovery mode reveals that the current firmware on the device is T580UEU4CSC1
this means that the device has android 8.1 on it and the information i could gather seems to indicated that FRP bypass is more difficult on android 7 and later, but that is where the info seems to dry up. I couldn't find anything specific on what exactly i need to do to get it working again, or whether specific firmware/files needs to be used on this device.
Would really appreciate any info or direction you could provide on this. Thanks.
It has become super hard to bypass FRP on Samsung devices (Not even Combonation files work anymore), If you can prove that you purchased it you can send it back to Samsung and they can unlock it. You're only other option is buying a Octoplus/Jtag/Riff box and using the FRP unlock option on the PC software.

On some devices yes combo files work but not on ALL devices so maybe on this particular device that works.
Hey Everyone,
I have been bashing my head against a wall trying to get this phone unlocked, a friend has passed away and no one knows his PSW. The phone houses information that will help the family.
What I have been able to get access to over the course of time i have spent with all devices.
Emails, laptops, Samsung account.
He was good with securing his passwords but I was able to get through with some persistence.
The phone is linked to his Samsung account and when i go onto: https://findmymobile.samsung.com/
i see it however when i try to see any options I get the following:
"Your service provider doesn't support the Find My Mobile service on your phone.
If you've lost a device, you can find it with SmartThings Find in the SmartThings app.
SmartThings Find is only supported on devices with Android O or higher."
smart things gives me absolutely nothing. I tried to bypass the service provider by spoofing the wifi from his home and got him connected but that has given me no further progress.
I also checked if he had developer options on so i could ADB into the phone but again no luck with that. I am down to "3 attempts left" with no option to reset password.
Any help would be super appreciated.
Also have an iPad that i cant figure out the password to but I am guessing that thing is done, and the data cannot be removed from it.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

one of the forum members was able to attempt to assist but we did not get far I have not seen a message like this in the samsung account ever and yet it always pops up . we reflashed the phone to a ATT variant and attempted to see if it can be found on that network and we got the same results.
I feel like I am between a rock and a hard place I would love to help the family but I know within 3 attempts the phone will be wiped.
If anyone has any other ideas I am all ears.
bump plz help
Data recovery specialist. They're out there.
Didn't they backup the data?
Hello, my daughter has forgotten the screen unlock code on her Huawei P Smart. I want to bypass the screen lock without losing data because the cell phone contains all my daughter's school documents and pictures for her project work. Tried a lot with dr.fone software and others but need a solution so I can unlock the screen and keep data without USB debugging because it can't be activated. Would be very grateful if someone has an idea Thanks

Hi, Did you ever get the phone unlocked and the data recovered? I have a similar problem with my daughters Y7P and I can't seem to find a solution that keeps the data and openes the phone.
