At reboot it ask for PIN which i don't remember
I tried some I used before but nothing, and after 3 times I have to wait hours
Is there a way to bypass that pin WITHOUT lose my personal data?

Anyone facing issue of getting freezed when entering pin unlock screen? I use my corporate exchange mail in my phone. It applies policy to enable pin lock. Sometimes, when I try entering the pin to unlock, the screen is freezed. I've to wait for a minute and then it accepts my pin to unlock. This happens sometimes only.

I have absolutely the same problem, did you solve it?
Hello,
I am using 4.3 stock rom. One thing is very annoying is the so-call security. The phone will be reset to factory setting if you enter wrong pin over 6 times. This is very bad idea. My little son sometimes plays on my phone by just touch those numbers in lock screen, so the pin attempts are easily over 6 times which cause my phone resets. How to remove this stupid feature? I remember on some phone, you have to wait for a few minutes in order to re-enter the pin code.

I wouldn't call it a stupid feature. When I enter my pin wrong a few times I have to wait to access my phone.
It is ok to wait for a few time, the stupid feature I called is "RESET to factory default". Is there a way to remove the feature?
Hi,
I PIN locked my screen. I want to enable encryption and phone asks to change PIN to password.
Still no possible to use PIN? I've seen discussions few years ago about this. No changes?
Entering password all the time to unlock screen.. doesn't sound very convenient.
By default we have 5 attempts, how do I increase that? Because many times it does not recognise my fingerprint and I've come to the last attempt many times. Luckily it recognized my fingerprint on the last try. What would happen if all attempts were used? I don't want to try since I am travelling and don't want to lock myself out if that is what happens.
You can not lock the device on this way... Fingerprint works with PIN or password lock.
When you can not unlock with fingerprint, unlock it with PIN or password, delete that fingerprint ID and make new one (or two different of both hands) in optimal condition.
In my case fingerprint work fine, 99% at first attempt...
Hi there!
My OP6T was working fine 24 hours ago. All day yesterday I was unlocking with fingerprint and/or PIN. The phone died, I plugged it in and went to bed.
I woke up today and turned the phone on. It asked for my PIN due to restart, I entered my PIN and got wrong PIN. I thought I mis-clicked, so I tried it again. Still says wrong PIN. I restarted the phone and tried again, still said wrong PIN.
I thought I was going crazy, I did NOT change my PIN nor did anyone else (I live alone). I tried entering into recovery but theres password protection, which I don't remember encrypting my phone ever. I am using this phone fully stock, no custom recovery or unlocked bootloader. It is my business phone and I cannot afford to factory reset it!
I searched online and found many posts on OP forums of people having the same issue. For most of them, the phone changed its PIN from a PIN on another app such as MS teams, Business Outlook or work profile. I do not have any of those apps nor did I install anything else recently.
I am losing my mind here, please help me get into my phone. I have had the same PIN for 3 years and I enter it more than 20 times per day!
I can think of two options:
1.- someone else knows your pin and changed it without you noticing (doesn't matter if you live alone)
2.- you have memorised the pin with muscle memory and the pin you think is the correct is not but you don't realize because you've been using muscle memory. Been there, after 1 year of using the same pin couldn't remember it because muscle memory
Neither of those things is the case here. I urge you to do some research as this is quite common. Many, many threads over at OP forums of this happening to people especially after an update.
Someone would have had to break into my house while I slept ,took my phone off the charger, turn it on, change the PIN, turn it off and then leave my house.
Or somebody would have to remotely access my phone while it was off, turn it on (?????) Change the pin, then turn it off.
And no this is not a muscle memory issue. My PIN is my PIN, I did not forget it or change it.
Something is up, usually if you enter the PIN wrong the device is supposed to lock you out for 60 seconds, then more and more. Here, after 2-3 wrong tries I get told I have 2 more chances, then 1, then nothing. Then I enter 2 more times, it will repeat "you have 2 chances" I use those chances up and nothing happens
