I have a LG optimus 2x unrooted and i i have forgotten the password to unlock it "i was kinda druk when i set it"
Its not the pin fo som put it is the built in number code that is used.
Is there some way i can get passed this code. The phone is not rooted but if it is possible to root without unlock it im willing to do it.
But if there is a way to solve this without root i would like that option first.
can yu access tha phone as it is lock?
i cant log on to the phone but i can see the notifications att the top but i cant drag it down
I think you'll have to do Hard Reset. Unless you talk to LG support
My bad. Unsure what the answer is for you. Sorry dude.
cant you do a restore with a pccompanion?(i dont have the same phone so...you understand)
i thing you should communicate with the lg support!
On some phones there's a "Forgot Password" button on the lockscreen where it asks you to put in your Gmail address and password so you can reset it.
use the gmail recover option, i don't tell other options..your post history doesn't really show you owning the phone. sorry
there is no forgott password or anything like that.
Never used the pccompanion or something is that LGstuff or is it some other app.
About me not owning the device : If you have an aoption to unlock it i can send you a copy of the receipt and pm or mail to you.
boot into stock recovery and wipe
Thats just the thing i want to avoid.
Delete the lockscreen apk.
maybe you should hard reset it..

How would that be possible if i cant get in to the phone.
The forgot password option shows up after u enter the password wrong a few times. Just keep entering random 4 digit number untill it gives u the option but if it locks you out and still doesn't have the option stop trying. You will just lock it out longer.

Tried it after 3-4 times the phone restarts and then 3-4 more tries no option to recover

The phone restarts? I have never heard of that before. Well sorry, my knowledge is limited to my phone and some odd and end general things.

If you know how to use ADB:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv LockScreen.apk LockScreen.bak
exit

Then to undo it:

It's case-sensitive I believe so keep trying different capitalizations of "Lockscreen" if it doesn't work.

Ty verry much i will try that out.
That adb disabling of the lockscreen is a unique idea. I'll be curious to know if it works or not. Please keep us posted.

I found a G1 and tried to factory restore it but the home key doesn't work and I don't know the Gmail address or password so is there any way around that so I can get into the phone and use it. Please let me know, Thank You!

You found a G1?
I bet its mine... just kidding.
Look it up dude!!
Poor guy who lost the phone though.
The home key is pretty vital though since you need to confirm with the home button.
This should be in Q&A, you'll likely get a better response.
Factory reset really just involves reformatting the data and cache. Without having root access already, and an Engineering SPL installed, you might have a tough time. My initial thought is that a gold card would work, but I think you do that from the recovery partition. I don't think that you can reboot to that partition from fastboot. Hmmm, not sure. I'd check with Q&A.
You should check to see if the last owner had the phone rooted (you'll be surprised)
If thats the case then just flash a new rom through the computer (Droid Explorer)
Turn the phone on and plug it into the computer with DroidExplorer open and see if it picks up anything.
I'm pretty sure thats all you need then you could download a cyanogen or what ever rom of your choosing and flash it.
found ?

how about emailing the owner and returning his/her property ?
you should see the email address of the owner after 4-5 failed unlock patterns iiirc.
Try:
Code:
adb shell reboot recovery
apparantly i locked my TB with a pin code and woke up this morning and now i cant get into it at all. after 60 tries i thought it would ask me to enter my google account email and pw which i have but it hasnt. anyway to get past this??
Well that really sucks forgetting your pin code, but if it were easily worked around, it wouldn't be much of a security system, so it's not easy.
This Google help forum thread might help you out: http://www.google.com.tw/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=1889ba0fa1e29183&hl=en
If you're rooted, with adb access you might be able to clear something in the system to reset it, but I'm not sure where to start with that if it's even an option.
Factory reset will certainly get you back into the phone, and shouldn't wipe your sdcard data, but I'd pull it out before resetting just to be safe.
thanks i appreciate it. i just cant believe after 75 tries it doesnt tell you to enter your gmail account info to get into the phone. i thought all androids did that

yeah. both my OG Droid and Fascinate made me type my Google credentials after a certain number of failed tries. Call VZW and see if there is a workaround. Keep us posted!
If you are rooted and using ClockWorkMod, u could restore a backup, that uses no pin or an old pin.
If you do have CWM and a earlier backup, I would perform a backup and then restore the earlier backup.
if you can do that and get into the OS again, you might be able to Run Advanced Restore in CWM and just restore the Data Partition from the backup of the pin locked one. (this is just a guess, Im not sure where the pin is saved but this may be the best way to not loose data)
Hello guys,
My niece has a Moto G 2015 and has set a screen lock pattern she can't remember. She does not want to lose her Whatsapp messages, so does not want to wipe her phone. Is there any way around the screen lock, even using ADB?
Thanks,
Mark.
You can use the Android Device Manager. https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager
Sign in with the Google account that is being used on that device. From there select the device. You should have the option to Ring, Lock, Erase. Select Lock and it will ask you for a password. This password can now be entered on the device. Unlock, change lockscreen security and you should be back in business.

Ok thanks, she is trying that... but she had entered pattern initially, would the android device manager overwrite the pattern with a password?

dang, apparently she tried and couldn't get in... so had to reset her phone. Oh well... I didn't see her phone, so can't tell what she was looking at and perhaps missing something.
tx anyway...
Oh, ok. Sorry to hear that.

Np, the Android device manager can be handy.. I've never needed that feature, but played around with it before and it did reset my pattern lockscreen with the password (on Android 4.4.2, I assume it's still the same).
I just put password as by unlock option(changed from pin just for the sake of it), and clearly set to "abcd", and I say clearly because as you know you have to put it 2 times to get it enabled, but now, when I try to unlock, it tells me the password is wrong, weird I know. I still can get into my phone using the finger print, but is there any way to change it again, because once I turn my phone off I wont be able to get back into it!:silly:

Today my phone ran out of battery. When i plugged it in to charge it requested the pin. Im a 100% sure i was typing the correct pin but it would not accept leading to blocking my phone for 10 minutes and then for 30. I still dont have access to it. I type in the pin and nothing happens. Need help too ; /
*Fringerprint wont do it either.

I had no choice but to backup and then Factory reset the device from the recovery. If that is an option for you. I too am a 100% sure, that I am putting in the correct password, pretty weird.
Maybe a vendor issue, are you under a custom ROM?

I think u should disable the pin lock / fingerprint and then flash the second part (smallest one) of the UPDATE.APP of the firmware you are currently running.This second part contains VENDOR.IMG, it may solve your issue, let me know what you decided to do
edit: i just saw that you made a factory reset that solved it.
I searched the forum for this and maybe I missed something but I can't find help anywhere.
My mother recently passed and we're trying to crack open her LG Velvet. She was very secretive about passwords and such and I can't break passed her finger pattern lock screen. Everything I've found says I can wipe her phone clean and it'll be clear but we need in to access her information and photos, we don't know what details she kept on her phone so we desperately need in. Does anyone know a way we can get passed the lock screen without erasing data? We've tried 55 times all the patterns we think she used but it's so far to no avail. We have T-Mobile, of which I called. They can't help so they sent me to LG and they can't help.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!!
Id u can get an custom recovery installed on that go to /Data/system/ and erase all files with lockscreen name on it and it would remove the pattern

Hey you found a way to get past the code without losing data files? My situation is the exact same except it’s my brother, and it’s sooo frustrating!
