we have been given a tablet from a friend that was an ex company tablet that has since been dissolved, I have tried accessing it however i don't know the pin code for it.
I accessed recovery mode and did a factory reset, and still get the same issue as the admin rights have been removed due to it being an ex company tablet so it ask me to log in with either the pin or the email address/password that only the company would have(If they were still running)
I am quite good at flashing roms via odin, however i cant get into the settings of the tablet to access developer mode to enable usb debugging.
is there anyone who can help as i'm all out of new ideas.
Many Thanks

After following a process elsewhere on XDA to set up a pin lock, (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1848962&highlight=lock) I've been locked out of my device, with the response Too Many Pattern Attempts.
It says: "to unlock, sign in with your Google account." But I do that, and receive an invalid login response. (This is without active wi-fi, which I can't access for the settings!) I'm not certain that it's trying to connect online, but that's my only explanation for why my google credentials aren't working.
I was hoping I could use ADB to reset the PIN again, but ADB doesn't appear to recognize the Nook; maybe it's not opening up the device to USB until it gets unlocked. And ADB Wireless is something I can't even access until I get past this!
I'm currently on the road so I can't go back to my home wi-fi... and I'm not even sure that the nook would connect to the home wi-fi anyway.
At the very least, I'd love to find out how to boot it in recovery mode, maybe re-install and re-root everything. I've seen a few posts online about rebooting in recovery mode, but nothing consistent.
Any suggestions?
Hello dear communtiy,
i think i have a quite serious problem: I unlocked the bootloader on my Huawei p8 lite 2017, and it started an obligatory factory reset (because of possible data theft...). Well, after rebooting i find myself without a keyboard to enter my password. I normally use the fingerprint sensor to unlock it, but when you restart it you have to enter a password. There is a numpad for entering the PIN after restart, but just no way of entering anything into the password box. Its a text password with 13 letters (if thats any important). Of course i searched for solutions on the internet and tried almost all of them:
Idea 1: Boot into safe mode: No keyboard in safe mode
Idea 2: Use Huawei erecovery: No keyboard after whats effectively another factory reset (at least thats what i think it is)
Idea 3: Use Google Play on the PC to remotely install a keyboard: Google Play now says a keyboard app is installed, but theres still no keyboard on the phone
Idea 4: Use ADB to somehow do something: USB debugging IS enabled, but my phone is stuck at using USB only to charge
Idea 5: Use a USB keayboard with a micro usb adapter: havent tried that yet, but i am not sure if it will even allow me to enter anything via USB before the phone is unlocked
Idea 6: I have made a Backup of Apps and such via Huawei HiSuite before unlocking the bootloader, but i cant figure out a way to apply it. Maybe it will bring back some form of keyboard when applied.
Im currently doing another Huawei erecovery just because i hope it will do something, but i dont think it will. I am in desperate need of my phone and beg for immediate help. I didnt flash anything onto it, i just unlocked the bootloader with this code you get. I am less than a beginner at screwing with phones. I feel really scared at the moment, since i only had this phone for a couple of weeks. Is there any hope for it?
Again, im begging for it to work,
Kalle
Edit: After in total 3 "resets" theres still personal data on the phone, because i see my old wallpaper on the locked screen.

Keyboard Method WORKED with OTG adapter cable!
I've never messed with a phone before and much of the jargon is new to me, so bear with me. I am in possession of a J5 that was issued by an employer who I am no longer with and would like to see if I can use it as a secondary phone or perhaps even replace my current one, but to do this I want to factory reset it first. It has AirWatch installed and has many settings and apps inaccessible, it is extremely restricted. I have looked around on the internet and most options for factory resetting that I have came across so far involve settings being activated that I can't access, so I was wondering if anyone has any input as to what options I could try.
These are some issues I have with reset methods I have read about so far:
Upon trying a factory reset, I get the "MDM does not allow factory reset".
"Safe mode" seems to be disabled.
The google account on it was not made by me and I don't have any password for it.
No unenroll option available in Airwatch.
Can't enable automatic factory reset, it's greyed out.
A method I read about here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/solution-to-mdm-allow-factoryreset-t3327319 involves getting to the encryption settings, which I can't.
MTP USB device fails when plugged in to windows.
SmartSwitch won't connect, it just sits at the "Welcome" screen asking me to connect my device.
Odin requires USB debugging to be enabled, which I can't access from the settings menu.
Any ideas, or is it just basically a brick?
I have a samsung galaxy a6 tab and it has knox which prevents me from installing apps , prevents usb debugging and factory reset .. i cant even go into the download mode , cant deactivate it from being a device administrator,, is there is any way to remove it or factory reset the device to be able to use it?

Pretty much all Samsungs have Knox. I do have the knox cleaner/reset for this device but for some reason I don't think that's what you need. If you can't get into download mode you can't flash in the Knox reset. From your description it sounds more like you are in some kind of FRP Binary lock. Or, are you sure you're not in Demo mode? Let me ask if you can use the device in any way?Are you in a bootloop. A bootloop is when you can turn on the device but it doesn;t load farther than the LOGO screen. If you turn it off can you access Recovery or Download mode (whether or not you can use it)? Are you getting redirected from them to another screen? Can you describe what you can do? Any and all symptoms you can list could help define your difficulty.
I'm having the same issue although mine is much worse it's from an app called netspark mobile it has device owner provisions and I cant do anything after disabling its accessibility options windows keep popping up continuously telling me to renewable them which will just close all windows and lock me out whenever I try to deactivate the device admin which is greyed out

Also me the same issue but tab s6 lite. Did anyone solve this ??.
It sounds to me like what each of you is talking about is third party security software sometimes used by businesses to prevent employees from installing unauthorized apps and to prevent people from seeing company data on lost or stolen devices. The only way I know of to remove that type of software is to have authorization from the original owner to have the software maker remove it.

There is many problems I faced as I am new to android learning:
- This device does not have network connectivity within the browser or anywhere else.
- I've tried multiple times to boot into "fast boot" as my device has a option for it in the settings, or could this setting be for something else?
I need help because I couldn't tell you if fastboot is a manufacturer or an installable feature to get into TWRP because I am trying to do that, further trying to update the phone or install a newer OS to get the phone up and running connected to the internet via everywhere on device. I also need help updating because this is my first time doing this and are wondering if I'm out of luck on trying to update hardware from 2010 to mostly newer software to meet my needs. I also tried to get the device to detect via usb debugging (which was enabled in settings) and sdk platform tools but no luck there because I researched and was told to get into "fastboot" which I just couldn't pull off (I'm sure of it I tried every button combination to try to get 'fast boot' working).
