A friend of mine was playing with my phone and got it so that I have to type in my email/password, and now it isn't unlocking. I have tried at least 50 times.
I even reset my gmail password and it still has not worked.
Can anyone help me? I created a nandroid backup so is there a way to disable that then back up from it?

I havn't used the phone in a long time, and I'm trying to sell it.
So I put my SIM Card in to delete everything on it, and it asked for a Phone Lock password. I don't remember setting a password. So how do I get past this?
Is there some sort of hard reset? Or a default code?
Thanks in advance.
Hey,
Looks as though the screen on my sensation has stopped working. I've just tried the suggestions in the sticky but no luck. Any one have an idea how I can backup the data on the phone. I've basically got 7 unread texts on the phone that I need to try and access.
I've got SMS backup/restore on the phone but its only set to once a week backup. Do texts automatically get backed up anywhere else at all? Preferably on the SD card? If I plug the phone in then it asks me to select what to do with the USB type which I can't do as the screen is still locked.
Any ideas please?
Cheers,
Andy
I had the same problem. If you`ve got ADB enabled on your phone, you can use Android Screencast http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/ and try to read and backup them.
Hi guys
Currently I still have access to my phone using my fingerprint, but for some reason the device is not recognising the PIN that I set it up with. I know exactly what I typed in for the PIN and since they make you type it twice for confirmation I find it unlikely I'd have entered the same wrong PIN twice but evidently I did mess up.
Now I'm locked out from anything requiring the PIN. Do I have any chance at resetting the PIN?

Aaaand it dawned on me today that I inadvertently changed my PIN when I was toying around with some of the features on cloud.huawei.com

I'm afraid you only have one option: Backup everything with the built in Huwawei Backup to your external SD. Remove it and perform a factory reset, then restore everything from the backup. Careful with restoring security/system settings, you might end up on square one. This is the only solution I can think of and this will cost you some time and you will have to set up a couple of things again.
Oh, and just for (my) safety: Proceed at your own risk Good luck, mate!
Hey guys, so I work for an IT company that buys and sells ex gov, ex school etc stuff in bulk and resells to whoever, at the moment we have 9 of these things and they are all locked with a number password, we have tried to contact the people we got them from but as so often happens, they haven't been helpful in providing the pin, usually we would give up and throw em out but these things aren't cheap, so as the head tech, one of my superiors offered me one of them to keep/sell myself if I can figure out how to unlock them.
So backstory aside, the easy solution is boot into recovery and wipe, but these things (which ive personally never seen before) have a password in the recovery menu, requiring you to enter a password before it will actually wipe.
What is my best option to unlock/wipe these things? annoyingly the "master reset" codes etc that Panasonic have are not usable cus the dialer cant be accessed from the lock screen, my thought was adb but its been a while since ive messed with that and could do with some guidance on it.
I promise you these are not stolen, we just really dont want to lose a large chunk of change on these.
Thanks guys!
edit: so updates, usb debugging isnt on so ADB cant be done, nothing detects, recovery simply has wipe or reboot, wipe involving a password to be entered before itll wipe, its running android 5 so with some messing around im able to bypass the lockscreen and let the dialer show up and be used, by calling an emergency number and quickly hanging up while frantically clicking back and or home button, I can get it to (while in a semi locked state still) launch the home menu thats set up, annoyingly this is some organisations software and exiting it to the actual home screen requires a password again..this time a text password so forget basic guessing, and thats basically where im at, from here launching any of the tools or chrome etc will take you back to the lock screen, if I can somehow get chrome to launch, I could enter settings from there and wipe, but so far cant seem to without it going back to the lock screen and starting all over again.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!
Hi,
I have the same problem! But this thing is brand new!!
I purchased a Panasonic toughpad Fz-x1 a couple of days ago and the first thing I did was to do an update on it which went well and the version of android on it is 4.2.2. I checked the Panasonic website to see if there was an update to 5.1.1 and there was. So I downloaded the file to my sd card and done the update, but now I am stuck with the dreaded dead android red exclamation. There is a menu of two lines, 1: Reboot system now and 2: Wipe data/ factory reset.
When you do a wipe data/ factory reset the next screen is to delete all user data and say yes to that. But now it wants a password that is numeric and I have no idea what that is as I haven't set up any security on it yet. I am hoping someone here can help me with this problem. Thanks
I am getting in touch with Panasonic and when I receive a reply from them I will pass it on here.
i need the same, my japan fz-x1 have a password in this function
Hi all
Need some input, I have a Google Pixel 4 XL, for over an year now, and have had face unlock workin all the time, this morning it started not unlocking, so I went ahead and erased my face data, and wanted to enroll again. everytime I try, it just times out, even in the simpel mode, what can be the problem... I did a full factory reset, and tried again but same result, I even tried in safe mode also, same result.
No need to say, the phone have no damaged, and have never been dropped.
I also have NOT any root access
Hello, I have exactly the same problem. I've tried many things and it doesn't work.
