i have updated my blackshark2 locally using ota. i forgot to remove my lockscreen password before updating. and now after restarting the previous password doesnot work anymore what should i do
Can you remove it through the settings? If not, I'm afraid the only solution is to try factory resetting your phone.
Maybe other member will be able to assist you

Hi All,
I mistakenly entered my password and Activesync locked my phone.
I was running the Litening rom which allowed me to load Clockmod and copy my data off. I then re-flashed it with the Litening ROM again but after initial configuration the screen lock comes on and asks for a password.
I re-flashed again and tried to change the screen lock but it asks for the password to change.
Finally I thought it was something wrong with the Litening ROM so I installed the Check5Rom performed initial configuration and the screen lock is still there!?
Has anyone else had the same issue with Activesync locking the device?
I own my phone and was using Exchange at the company I am consulting at, mistakenly I didn't use Touchdown otherwise I could have avoided this.
Is there anyway to fix this without having to the Exchange admit and get him to type in the unlock password?
Any help would be awesome
I thought activesync was windows mobile only, times move on... not sure this would lock your phone now, try clearing all ROM data, partition and dalvic and reinstall ROM. alternatively if you have a backup on clock that should solve it. Unless you are talking about a password in windows or something, i'm confused to be honest.
I created an Exchange account under "Accounts and Sync" which allowed me to connect to the company's Exchange/OWA Server.
Unfortunately I didn't read the fine print and when I messed the password up it locked my phone ;(
full reflash then
ask your exchange sync admin to remove the lock?
Thanks guys for helping. I had to put the original Samsung Galaxy S2 rom back on and remove the custom roms totally.
I followed this blog post that showed how to put I9100XXKH3 back on my phone.
This got me back to 2.3.4. When I rebooted it still asked me for a password, I failed it on purpose 3 times and it wiped my phone. When it rebooted after the wipe I was back to a new rom and I could reset the screen lock.
Not sure if it is an issue specific to Litening rom? But from now on I am using Touchdown rather than native active sync on my phone.
Thanks again everyone!
My Samsung S5 (SM-G900F, 4.4) device has a fingerprint scanner to unlock the screen. It was working perfectly, but now it only asks for the alternative password, but I forgot it. I tried on the Google webpage to lock my phone, I hoped that the password given there will be overwrite the alternative password on the phone, but it said, that it found the phone already locked, so no need to use the password. I don't want to do a factory reset if it possible, how could I get the fingerprint scanner to be an option again, or somehow unlock the screen and use my phone?
This happened to me today in the morning on my S5 mini with stock OS. At first I typed in the correct alternative password, but it was not recognized. Latter I successfully (?) changed password with "Lock" option on Android Device Manager, and it didn't help either...
At the end I did a factory reset and lost all my data
Is this a common bug? Should we report it somewhere or something?
After too many failed fingerprint attempts, it will only ask for the password
Maybe someone else has been trying to access your phone
Factory reset to regain access if you don't know your alternative password (Probably a good idea to write that down)

Yes, you are correct. I tested this again, and I think that, in the morning, I really used wrong password . And the first time I didn't notice the displayed info, about password already being set, on Android Device Manager site, when I tried to change the password.
Thanks for the replay
Hello everyone.
My brother gave me his S7E and he factory reseted the phone from recovery (wipe data/factory reset). Before he has done that, he removed the fingerprints
Now when we boot the phone, it's stuck on the Google Account sign in, I've tried using my gmail to login, but it didnt let me, after few tries, still nothing.
Then I've tried my brothers gmail, yet again it wont let us to login. It's like, it logins but it want's us to login again. Over and over and over again.
So I know this is kinda a noob question, but please can someone help me?
Further thanks.
it's google security, u have to log in with the last google acc used on that phone after factory reset, it's to prevent the use of a stolen phone even doing a factory reset, there's no way to deactivate it and once u input the correct credentials the initial setups begins ,ake sure u're login with the right one
Your "brother" might have used another account.

It's FRP lock protection, used to protect against a phone being stolen then factory reset and sold on.
All you need to do is log in using the Google account that was in place prior to the factory reset being carried out. Which, presuming it is actually your brothers phone, won't be an issue. If he isn't sure about the password, test the account on a computer of some sort. If the password doesn't work, reset it. But note that, if a password reset is carried out, you won't be able to log that account into the phone for 72 hours.
3 days late response. Sorry. So I figured out everything from Samsung directly (over live support)
I'd like the mods close this thread and mark it as SOLVED.
Everything (anyone) who gets locked out of their phone (when they reset it from recovery).
1. Reset your Google account password and do not attempt to login when you have changed it.
2. Wait 24 hours to pass
3. Login and reset the phone from settings
OPTIONAL
If you don't want the FRP to happen, ever again. Disable it in the Developer Option (OEM Unlock)
Ok so I've reset my password and have waited OVER 72 hours to log back in and it's still telling me to wait...what's the deal?
Hi,
I was changing pattern. Somehow I applied wrong pattern and then locked phone.
Now I can't unlock with fingerprint. There aren't any connect Google Account button even I am connected to internet mobile + wifi.
I didn't install TWRP and my phone is not rooted. Are there any way to unlock without losing any data? I can do anything possible (like root or install twrp) if I wont lose data.
wont a hard reset work
Without TWRP you can't do much...

That will delete data.
Unfortunately, hard reset is the only way out of this. Since the data on the phone is encrypted, you require the pattern to decrypt the data in order to access it. This also includes access to the hash that is generated by your fingerprints which is why you need to enter your PIN or pattern on startup before you can unlock with your fingerprint.
Bottom line, never ever forget your backup authentication method!
Edit: I can't guarantee this will work, but it's worth a try:
Visit https://www.google.com/android/find (Find My Device)
Log in with your Google account
Click "Lock" and enter a new password.
Try that new password on your phone.

My niece forgot pattern lock combination so what I did is to reset his device but I didn't know that he forgot his google account password. Now when I open the device it ask me to put the credentials from the previous google account before reset, I know the email but not the password and he doesn't know any answer for the questions that it ask when I try to recover the account.
So now I trying to reset the device completely by installing a ROM but it needs USB debugging enabled and obviously I cannot do that. What options do I have?

If it is a J5 2017, here is the solution; worked for me 100%

Installing a new ROM won't bypass the FRP-lock
