Hello,
I am posting this with the hope that someone can help me out. My son was playing with my phone and somehow set it to a password that he doesnt remember (he is just few years old). Now whenever I turn-on the phone, it asks me for the password, which I dont know. Do you know how to reset this phone?
Many thanks in advance for any advice.

A hard reset will only erase any info that you put on the phone, not any info or services that came with the phone. See my reset guide in my sig.
thank you!
seems to me like its going to erase my number and data plan forcing me to have to go to verizon and have it reactivated because that stuff doesnt come on the phone when u get it.

Hello .. I have my HTC hero back on sprint. but no EVDO or DATA connectiuon at all.. I went to the corporate store and of course the MSL code did not work.. so i told the guy well use 000000 and the guy said .. so u messed with the phone...and i had to say yes...therefore they are not messing with it at all...even when i putted the right MSL.. L*( so. what can I do to get my EVDO DATA back?
I can make calls etc...
my other question is...
if you flash your phone..with STOCK(RADIO,STOCK APPS) and you changed the MSL before...will the STOCK flash do all that it suppose to do?
I had the same sort of thing happen to me when I was trying to pass a rooted Pre to a friend. Using the RUU might sort it out, if it doesn't call customer care and ask them to send out the hands-free provisioning signal again. That will put the right info on your phone. Most of all, don't panic All will be well once again.
That's a problem..the hands free activation starts working when you turn oin the phone but it does not complete it gives an error 1012

that's probably due to the MSL not matching the one on file. have you tried rewriting the correct MSL code to the phone? the handsfree activation and profile update should work after that.
Yes I did that...They gave me the MSL...and It does matches the one on file...I am going to try using the RUU again ..
fix
Take the phone back to the store all they have to do is reprovision the phone. If the won't work on the.phone factory reset the phone. I work for Sprint and either will work.
But I am thinking that Update Profile...and Hands Free activation need a EV or 3g whatever connection...right? I don't have it there is no ICON
Just to make sure.. I am running the RUU properly...I have to go to the bootloader( 3 android skaters) and select Fastboot right?
3 things I can think of that worked for me the other day, you will need your MSL and do a ##RTN# (##786#) hit menu then reset. It will ask for MSL but it will also delete everything. should work as long as you have 1.5 based off the 1.29 or 1.56.. Or you can try ##DATA# (##3282#) and reset the data profile. If that does not work call sprint or go into your local store and have them reset your Vision username. 1 of those 3 things should get you where you need to be. If they do not work it is more than likely hardware related.
Just wanted to note as I am still an active employee for sprint as well, a data provision will not work, they will only be able to go these routes in this case, so def. back up any information you may want to keep if you have not already.
ok thanks for all the replies...I just came from a Sprint store, and they guy said that my DATA was not provision properly and I have to wait 1 hour take out the battery ... and turn the phone on again..that should do it...if it does not I ll call Sprint and have them reset my Vision Password ... Thankss!
Ok I think I know what's the problem...First I don't have a recovery thing....HOME+POWER ON brings me to a Exclamation ICON I guess there is where my info should be ... and because the phone was rooted before that image is gone...so the ##3282# USERNAME menu is empty...where can I get that info? that suppose to be there? IP, etc
Your data information will populate automatically once provisioning completes, Id try calling tech support having them reset your vision user name not password then preforming a RTN or doing the RUU prior which should reset everything to what it needs to be prior to root.

thanks man

It is not the username and password. It is the fact that the phone is not recognizing there is a network available i have seen this issue a bunch of times. you are going to have to do a hard reset (not a ##786#)or you can take it back to the store and have them provision the phone through icss.
I have done Hard Resets more than 5 times. now ... So i am getting a new phone, and that's it .. I'm tired of goind around with my phone..having i consirderation that my phone was in Metropcs and then to Sprint , maybe that screwed something, ahd the guys over in the corporate store don't want to work on it.
if you were in my area i would help!!

Hard resets will do nothing... Run the RUU... Your MSL has no ties to your provisioning.. So I don't know why that keeps coming up.. I'm not sure how Metro does things, but to take that ESN to another carrier usually needs a radio flash and if they had done that, you will not be able to use it unless you reflash the sprint RUU...
You cannot exchange a phone that you have maliciously changed... It has nothing to do with the phone, its the user....

I have run the RUU several times aswell, and I have insurance on the phone, so I hope I can get one tomorrow.

Hey, he bought the phone. There is nothing 'malicious' about him modifying or customizing 'his' phone. The only thing malicious here is your attitude. Well, that and the phone company Nazis warping the brilliant idea that Google had when the Android was first conceived. It wasn't supposed to be about control, or about 'nickle and dime-ing' their customers to death reselling features that are already built into the OS.
Grow a soul, or at least a pair.
Hi I'm having a problem with Galaxy 5 i5500 i have entered a pattern [the one wich you use to see the home screen] and i forgot it. now i entered the pattern wrong too many times and my phone is locked and asks me to enter a google account. i havent set up a google account in my samsung so i can't access it. can anyone help me if they could tell me how to reset it or factory reset it? i have tried the secret codes and they don't work.
Why is it that 90% of the time, the first thing people do when they get a phone or tablet is put in a password (same with laptops and desktops). While I'm at it, why in the blue hell do people always hide the password on the unlock screen when making vids on youtube? YEAH
ANYWAY, google is your friend bro. You should be able to boot the phone in recovery mode (someone please correct me if I'm wrong on that because I'm not 100% on it) and do a factory reset. I'm not going to take the time to google it or search XDA on how to do it for you though. I learned how to walk because my parents refused to carry me around for the rest of my life....just sayin
Hi been a while, since I had any Issues on my devices, thanks mainly to this forum!
thats said, I switched to Straight talk bought a A03, well, I was gonna dive it to a friend, so I wiped it, now I cant get past the password part. I have gotten to where you they send a code, yet the phone wont show a enter text box!
ied the frp bypass and the sites I HAVE visited one was a virus, defender stopped it. I am wanting to get a legit frp bypass, and also I plug the usb in pc it isnt opening any box or nothing.. what can I do? ask any thing you wish for me to explain, or add file.. thanks. extrermly urgent.. lol
