I had an Exchange password on my Captivate from my Army email that I had to enter anytime I rebooted my phone (wasn't a 4-digit pin, I created a regular password). Last night I flashed JH3 (from JF6 or whatever stock is, I forgot already ) and rooted with SRE and everything was fine. I rebooted one more time last night after reinstalling all my apps but didn't reset my email. When I woke up this morning it was asking for my password again so I tried entering it but it's saying incorrect. Tried again and made sure I typed it correctly and nothing. So of course I'm on the last attempt and didn't know if there was something around this. Would something have changed the password with using Odin or SRE?
So if I have no choice but enter in wrong again and wipe the phone, I'm assuming JH3 will stay but will I have to reroot again? Anything else I should do while it's in a wiped state?
ok so I entered the password wrong for the third time and it gave me the option to either wipe the phone or enter the password recovery process, except now it's asking for a recovery password. Anyone know if this is a generic password or not?
and nevermind... just wiped itself... well if anyone has anything to add for others in the future, please do

Hi,
I have for the first time rooted my HTC Desire. And for the first time also just installed a ROM, LeeDroid 3.0.6-R2. Everything works fine, so I think, but one thing.
I've set up my Exchange account to my work and entered a new pin code. The pin code works every time when the phone locks and I need to enter the pin to unlock it. But as soon as I go into Clockwork Recovery mode and then do nothing but restart the phone, it doesn't accept my pin code. After 8 failed attempts it wipes my phone automatically.
When it happened the first time I thought I messed up with the pin code. So I wiped the phone and started over (not reflashing the ROM), setting up Exchange with the same pin code. But it didn't accept the one I used previously. So I choose a new one, simple, 0000. Tried several times to unlock with the pin after the phone had locked. Then just now I rebooted again with Clockwork Recovery and just restarted the phone and it again won't accept my pin code.
I don't want to disable the policy and not have a pin code via some app.
Has anyone had this issue before? It's like my pin code isn't saved once I go into Recovery mode. But it still enforced the policy.
This will be the 4th time I have to wipe my phone and start over -.-
TIA
Ok, so I tried after my last wipe last night to not configure Activesync and just go into security and set a regular pin. Let the phone lock, worked. Restart phone into recovery, restart again. Doesn't work.
So I think I've managed to solve the issue. Reboot the phone completely (not into recovery) after I've set the pin code. Try to see if it works, which it did, then boot into recovery and again reboot to normal. Pin code still works. Odd....
Sigh.....nope. Still the same problem when I rebooted the phone. I still need help :'(
Someone must have some ideas?
Bumping. Halp!

I just completed the process of rooting/installing CWM Mod1.3.0.1/installing Primordial 1.3.
Each step was successful but after completing step 2-CWM Mod1.3.0.1 and rebooting, I was presented with a Device Password login screen. Since I did not have the password I could not login.
Went ahead and sucessfully installed Primordial 1.3 and rebooted. I was back to the password login screen without a valid password.
I rebooted into CWM and did a factory reset and cleared all user data and rebooted but was back to the password login screen without having a valid password. Tried factory reset again with the same result.
Does anyone have a suggestion for clearing the password or bypassing this login screen?
I'm using a Rogers Infuse 4G and seem to be having difficulties with my lock screen to prompt for a password/pin.
I had previously rooted my phone, and used MIUI, Infused, and a few other ROM's. the issue started on my last install of Infused. If I set a password, or pin it prompts, prompts for confirmation then goes back to the password options screen.
When I lock my device, or reboot, it does not prompt for the PIN/Password. Strangely enough, Pattern works, but, because I use my phone on an exchange email system, I'm forced to use a password/pin.
So I decided that maybe the ROM was bad, so I redownloaded and flashed the device, clearing cache, user data and dalvik cache. Same issue. Failing that, I used ODIN to reload a stock rooted Rogers PDA and Phone image back on to the device.
Rebooted, ran SuperOneClick to Unroot the device, and I have the same issue. Are the infuses like iPhones, where the PIN is stored in a hardware chip? Is it possible that, if this is the case, that chip is somehow not functioning?
I'm having difficulties figuring out why a Rogers Infuse Gingerbread ROM can't update the security settings
Any help is appreciated
Bump.
Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? I've tried re-flashing using ODIN and a PIT file + PDA_UXKG3_rooted_no_bootloaders_v2.tar.md5 and PHONE_UXKG3.tar.md5
For whatever reason, my phone still refuses to save whatever password I put in for the lock screen.
I was on the official Nougat Beta, but today I decided to go back to PIA to get root back. After flashing all files via Odin, the phone rebooted. But now it wants me to enter a password to decrypt device storage before I can do anything. The only other option is to make an emergency call. Prior to flashing PIA, I did have the device set up to unlock with my finger print OR a PIN. I assumed that it wanted the PIN, but it is not doing anything. After entering the PIN, it says Verifying... Then it goes back to wanting me to enter the password. The PIN is the only password I have ever used for the device, and I do not recall encrypting the storage one the phone. Any and all help would be appreciated.
After factory resetting three or four times, it went away and let me in. Now in the process of setting up the phone.
MODS, this thread can be deleted.
Has anyone else had this happen to them? Phone stopped responding, so I tried to force a reboot; it wouldn't recognize my pattern anymore, so I booted into TWRP and deleted locksettings.db, whereupon system hung up on "Android is Starting". So, went back to TWRP to attempt to wipe data, and phone would not let me set up; just stayed on "Just a sec" progress bar.
I'm at the point where I'm about to install a factory image and start fresh. Ideas?
Mine told me that the pattern wasn't correct, so my first move was to boot to twrp. Since that took my pattern, I knew that it wasn't incorrect, so I just booted straight without altering anything. It ended up accepting my pattern that time. I've had it happen a few times that it didn't recognize my pattern, then after a reboot, it was fine.

I unfortunately didn't get it that easy...had to do a factory reset.
Oddly, this happened right after I got locked out of my Facebook account...
