Hello
In settings you have the option "find my phone".
Is there a solution that you can put a password on it.
Example:
My phone is stolen or lost.
And somebody have my phone he can now go to settings and turn the option "find my phone" off. And I can't find my phone anymore.
If there a password on it, then can't the other person turn it off.
And I can find my phone again.
Is there an app or something else?
Regarfds,

You can try using the default lock screen password. Then, if your phone is lost or stolen and someone finds it, forget about him getting in the settings, he would not be able to get pass your lock screen without the password.

Maybe can someone create that?
Because then you have a second block for that person

i installed a new rom for my fuze recently and the phone lock thing on startup disappeared. how do i set/change the password and make my phone ask for it on startup only?
It's not clear what you are asking for .
If you are talking about the PIN code when the phone is powered up you must do the following:
Press Start-Settings-Personal-Phone-Security & select ''Require PIN when phone is used''.-
no, that will still let me use the phone. i don't want to lock the sim but the phone. using that method will only block my network.
before i installed the new rom it would ask for a password before i can use the phone only after starting it. and if i entered the password wrong 3 times it would ask me to enter a1b2c3 or w/e instead of blocking the network.
I don't know the program you are talking for but I have some alternatives .
If you are using WM6.5 with lockscreen you can try SmartLock which have boot lock.
A good suggestion whatever WM you are using is ThrottleLock.
Also take a look at S2U2 but I am not sure if it supports boot lock.-
thanks i think i'll use smartlock. i've read comments on throttlelock and s2u2 and there were complaints on throttlelock about having the wrong password and then they had to hardreset or something... and s2u2 is kinda nice but not very useful.
i've used smartlock and it's not exactly what i'm looking for, i wanna set a password for the phone and make it ask for the password only when it's turned on.
Hi there,
If you have a few questions regarding the safe.my.windows.phone software. Anybody who have used it before please help me out!
1. If I have already set my password, how do I change it?
2. If I want to set a password only for unlocking when I remotely lock it and not for prompting when device is not used, how do I do this? As far as I know, I can only set a password if I tick the check box 'Prompt if device unused for'.
3. Finally, I've finished my trial evaluation of the software and want to uninstall it. However, after uninstallation, my phone is still asking me for the password to unlock my phone whenever the screen is turned on (unfortunately I set to prompt for password every 0 minutes and I can't find the password page to change this). How do I completely remove this?!
I tried re-installing but the page that asks you for the password after the first installation doesn't come up anymore I also then tried uninstalling after re-installating but the asking of the password still comes up everytime I turn on my screen!
Many thanks!
After two weeks of waiting for an email from [email protected] to come back to me, I can only warn everybody here to not install this application! Obviously the program is flawed (doesn't have a place to remove it) and you don't get any support. Don't install, don't buy! ><
Just as I thought a hard reset was around the corner...JGUI replied! Going back to the password settings page is actually very simple. Just go to Settings --> (Personal tab) Lock. From there you can set when to prompt and what password to use.
Still, there is a limitation where if you want the program to lock your phone when the correct SMS comes in, you need to activate this password protection but you can set this to 24hrs rather than 0min like I did.
Hi,
I just installed VPN software on my Moto X 4.4. Upon starting it, it pops up ""Type the password for credential storage". I've never set up such passowrd. No matter what I type, it will reject and ask again.
I searched a bit. One suggest is to enter 5 times to get it clear thes storage. Does it and no change. Another is to set the screen lock to none and it will ask to set up the screen lock and etc. Did not work either.
Is there any way to get over this one?
Thanks
Same Struggle

Struggling with the same on my S5 - any assistance will be greatly appreciated
vpn only works with some form of lock enabled: activate a pattern lock, leave it enabled, and try entering the vpn menu again.
Like many others, I have become a victim of 'Too many pattern tries' and have got stuck at the lock screen trying to sign in without data connection or wi-fi. Is there any way to get past this without data rewipe. It's really stupid of Google to have a security mechanism that forces you to wipe your data, meaning anyone can just pick up your phone and spam the pattern till it goes to the email screen (which is what happened in my case).
I have a rooted phone with an unlocked bootloader and USB debugging enabled and I also have downloaded Eclipse Android SDK but have no idea how to use it. It would be nice if someone gave me step-wise instructions on switching on my wi-fi through the SDK so that I can connect over the internet and log in.
Of course, any other legit method is also fine, but the 'home button method' doesn't work for my phone (you know, keep pressing the home button). I have tried getting APKs that will help me bypass the lock screen but they dont work.

Android Device Manager is not able to pinpoint the location of my phone. Do I need wi-fi for this? The only options I see right now for my phone are to change the name, give it a ring or lock or erase.
I have finally found a way. No root or USB debugging required.

thanks for sharing
So, the thing is that I was trying to recover an voice note I've deleted and I runed a windows program to do so. When the program started working on the recovery it restarted my phone to do the last step. When my phone restarted I got a weird message on a black screen "To strat up your device enter your password". I have the fingerprint and the pattern set as my default unlock ways so I don't know to which "Password" is this message reffering to. I've read that it maight be reffering to my google account password but I've tried that and nothing. I also read about it has something to do with google ADM protecting my phone but I couldn't find any way to restore that password from the google Adroid Device Manager panel on PC. I'm very desperate about this, I just want to know what is the password this thing is asking me. Or I just want to backup all my data to do a factory reset then. The thing is that the phone is on that lock screen, it isn't even started up so I can't do anything. Is not conected to wifi, nothing!!! it is just stuck there. If you know which password is this asking me that would help or if you know how can I do a backup with the phone locked up, that could help me out too.. Thanks!
I have a Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime
