That code is your SIMcards PIN-code, not the phone's unlock code

Looks like you need to do a hard reset

Hi all,
I had set my XDA orbit -2 a simple numeric password every time i enter .the last password was set a month ago before i left to vacation ( out of country). when i came back and wanted to use the phone, it did ask for password as usual. but when i tried to enter the password which i had reset before and it doesnt allow me, saying incorrect password ( i forgot my password in short).
I tried several times , after few times, a message is displayed that i had entered incorrect password for too many times and there is a time lag which doubles up every time i enter an incorrect password. currently it had set to 4 hrs 38 minutes .
i.e i can enter the password once in 4 hrs 38 minutes and if i enter it wrong then it doubles up to 9hrs 26 minutes and so on ....
also the time clock stops automatically if the screen becomes black.
I did try to reset by pressing the button but it comes back to the screen with the time ticking backwards
PLEASE HELP ME TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM
Thanks for going through my long post

Hi
I have a O2 xda mini s....
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31M7con3EuL._SL500_AA280_.jpg
i got some problem... need your help
i have set its password to "988777" and it was working fine...
just 1 hour ago, i tried to open an image and set it as todays wallpaper, as i clicked (tapped) on
menu, my PDA got restarted, now its asking for password to unlock, when I enter "988777" it says
incorrect password and starts a countdown which is always double of previous count down. for
example this time it was 00:08:10, next time it would be 00:16:20.
Please help me !
Best Regards,
Farhan Sh.
what happens when u let countdown finish? U are norally allows 8 tries.... or have you tried so many times this is now coming up.
My lock screen brings up the chance to reset password, but my device is connected to works server, so yours might not give u this option.
you on stock rom?
SADLY I WAS FORCED TO HARD RESET SO PLEASE DON'T ANSWER THIS NOW.
I have installed Sone WM6.5, most recent built ( thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433808 ). I have set the lock using a simple 4 digit password, but the battery died on my way home tonight (typically in the floods!).
I got home and charged the battery, but I cannot unlock the phone. I can slide the slider to unlock, enter the 4 characters (2233, so it isn't as if I have forgotten it!) the 4 characters are shown at the top as white circles, so it has accepted the input, but if I press the unlock/contacts/mail buttons, they depress (i.e. acknowledge they have been pressed) but nothing happens. If I put an incorrect password in, nothing either - It doesn't tell me that I've entered the password incorrectly!
Is there anything I can do without having to hard reset?
Thanks in advance.
Aubs
P.S. I have also posted this in the SONE thread HERE in the Diamond > Diamond ROM development forum as I am desparate to get it sorted - So if I get a reply on there first, I'll let this thread know. Hope this isn't against the board rules

I wonder if this is getting more common? I appreciate that only 3 people affected so far doesn't raise it to pandemic levels yet!!

I am in, you can add me to the list of those affected by the same problem.
same here, just started this morning...i put in the correct password, but unlock icon doesnt work....dont want to hard reset because the messages i need but oh well
Edit: it works now--either two solutions. 1st a screen popped up saying i entered the password incorrectly too many times and i had to enter what i was told to enter on the screen OR 2nd, it couldve been because i entered my original password in landscape mode...hope this helps u all with the problem
I was able to resolve this problem, but I'm not sure the correct solution and I'm not ready to try again!
First the symptoms are exactly the same:
- I was talking in the phone till the battery died, when I recharged the battery and tried to unlock the unlock-key get pressed but doesn't work.
Second I found this thread by google, and also found many other results, the usual solution was to hard-reset ... but my problem was that I cannot reset since my firmware is not original and I don't have any firmwares on any SD-cards ...
Third, again I'm not sure the correct answer but here is what I can tell:
- My phone is iPAQ 910c
- I typed the pin
- I then typed on the letter "z"
- I then typed on "Fn + z" (Which is the character "*" ...)
- I repeatedly pressed on "z"
- I pressed enter many times and the right-arrow ">" many times
- I pressed on "z" again
- I was a bit nervous so I think I pressed on those two keys many many times till finally I found the device unlocked so I'm finally happy
Note:
- The idea of pressing on "*" come from this link: http://www.fixya.com/support/t1457097-unlock_samsung_i780_phone_soft_touch
I got it after many google searches and it worked for me too!
I'm also not able to unlock... Same symptoms : Unlock icons doesn't work, either pin is correct or not.
It happens just after connecting my HD to my new Win7 laptop using Windows Mobile Device Center.
Synchronization was complete and one hour later I had to soft reset because of display problems.
I still can access my Touch HD folders by Windows Mobile Device Center and synchronize it, but i can't unlock it...
Strange.
I have the same problem, but i cant even do a hard reset because my keys are locked, any solution?
I unlocked my phone normally several times today using my pattern. Five minutes after I had unlocked it, I picked it back up and drew my pattern and it said it was incorrect. I tried several more times with no change. I was able to unlock the phone using my fingerprint, but I have no idea how my pattern changed without my permission. If my phone dies or restarts for any reason, I will need the pattern to unlock it, as you can't use fingerprint on start up. (I've had the same unlock pattern since my last phone, so I'm sure I am putting it in correctly.)
Has anyone else encountered this bug? Is there any way to create a new pattern using my fingerprint? Finally, how should I go about reporting this to Samsung?
Thanks.
Yes!
Same thing happened to me... S7 working great for first few days when suddenly it didn't accept my unlock pattern. I've been using the same pattern for awhile and unlocked the phone a few times that morning. After a few reboots it finally accepted my pattern again. Immediately disabled it and now using pin instead.

Did you just restart again and again until it worked? If it worked for you I might try it instead of the factory reset.
I've had lock screen issues with my LG V10, but not quite like yours. I use a pattern, not a password or fingerprint. Sometimes the screen is locked and I fail the pattern and the phone gets unlocked anyway. Usually, this is associated with having first touched a notification with the screen locked. What happens after the pattern fails (trace shows in red), is that the screen appears as it does when it's not locked and I just swipe and I'm in the application whose notification I touched. The LG V10 has a fingerprint reader on the power button, but I haven't programmed it since I heard it's not that great. This is a major security issue in my opinion, and I haven't read any other posts anywhere about it. So I don't know if it's specific to LG, the V10 or Marshmallow (it started with Marshmallow).
I can start a new thread if you believe our lock screen problems are unrelated (enough). Just let me know.

Same thing happened to me. I'm THE ONLY one to ever use my phone and I went to open it and it was saying my pattern was invalid. I was able to use the thumb print pattern still though. However when I went to change the pattern in my settings I entered what used to be my pattern and it locked me out of my phone for an hour. I don't know how to change it.

Saw you had the same issue, so wanted to let you know. I restarted the phone and the old pattern started working again. Another person with this issue said that they had to restart several times, but it did work. So I'd give that a try, worked for me. Good luck!
It just happed to me. I restarted it and it accepted my pattern. I now have it set with pin instead.
Had the same issue as well! Samsung Galaxy S7, suddenly stopped recognizing my screen unlock pattern. Same solution as well; Restarted my phone and the problem went away.
Is there a way to disable the pattern feature if you are able to navigate the phone? Got locked out of Marshmallow on my MOTO G 3rd gen. phone after a pattern change; I was surprisingly able to just reboot into an unlocked phone. I've turned on adb debug access while I still have the opportunity.
I just had that issue. I was able to unlock with the pin, and reset the pattern and it now works again but it was freaky.
Same happened here. This morning the lock pattern on my S7 edge is forgotten by the phone.. Reboot doesn't help.
have the same problem today. i didn't change my pattern and it happened again. before i was using a PIN and I ended up factory reset and by this time I wouldn't want to do the reset factory settings as the last option.
The pin was also randomly stop working, I have mine set to pin and it did the same thing.
Me too!!!! Wtf!!
Mine has locked as well and I swipe the wrong pattern until it gives me the option to put in the back up pin but when I go to correct the swipe it wont let me in. I have tried everything all of you have suggested except the factory reset, I just can't believe that Samsung hasn't put out a fix for this yet.
Here is how you fix it
Method 1. Use 'Find My Mobile' feature on Samsung Phone
All Samsung devices come with "Find My Mobile" feature. In order to bypass Samsung lock screen pattern, PIN, password and fingerprint, you can just follow the below steps to get it done.
• First of all, set up your Samsung account and log in.
• Click "Lock My Screen" button.
• Enter new PIN in the first field
• Click "Lock" button at the bottom
• Within few minutes, it will change lock screen password to the PIN so that you can unlock your device.
tell me it work ??
Just an update to help out someone who might be going through this. This recently happened to me on my s6 edge.
Like the above comment suggests, go to "Find My Mobile". Once signed in, select the "UNLOCK MY DEVICE" option , (selecting the "Lock My Screen" option does not allow you to change the lock screen type afterwards).
Selecting Unlock my device will immediately unlock the phone and erase any lock screen patterns, fingerprints or pins that you might not remember, thus allowing you to set them up again!
Hope this helps!!

Also, one more thing. Doing the above ^ seemed to have solved a problem I was having with "Smart Lock" not working. So just as an FYI, going through that process might help you with that.
This just happend to my gf's s4 also she sent a text and then went to reply again a few moments later and her pin was invalid and it locked her out of her phone for 30 seconds, she just had to restart it once and it worked with the old pin again.

same issues here, pattern just stopped working. im positive im using the correct pattern.
i can login with my pin, but i cant reset the pattern as it keeps asking for the current pattern.
how can i reset the pattern or change to pin / fingerprint?
ive restartted 2x and trying a 3rd now....
> Use 'Find My Mobile' feature on Samsung Phone
No this didn't work. It still requires my pattern, and tells me I'm doing it wrong...
It DID let me into the phone, which was nice. But the pattern problem persists...
...Update: I restarted the phone, and it came up and accepted my pattern.
This just happened to me on my phone and my tablet. I wound up having to do a factory reset on both! Way to go Samsung. These are the last Samsung devices I'll ever buy.
