Hello everyone.
Here is my predicament. My daughter has a TF101 that is OEM with no root/ROM etc. The tablet has been offline for a few months now. We attempted to bring the tablet online last night and of course we forgot the unlock code. The "forgot password" option with her gmail account will not unlock the system as the wireless we had is changed out and the tablet can not contact the google servers.
Can anyone help with a way to unlock the system. Or a way to backup the tablet so I can reload.
Thank you
Tony
Excuse me, but I don't quite understand what you mean. Do you need access to your internet router? or google account? if it's your router you can look it up on any computer connected to it, or reset the router (hold reset button for 15seconds) and set a new password. If it's google then try recovering the password on a physical computer.

OK. let me see id I can explain this another way. All I get on the logon screen of the transformer is to reset using your gmail account. The tablet is unable to reset as we type the gmail account and password with no results.
Any help would be great.

Can you access the Play Store from a PC? This method require you use a PC.
You can install app to your tf from your PC, just log into the Play Store with the same google account as your tf.
Find the app, click install, choose the device and it will auto install to your device. After this app installed, choose another app, any app and do the same. If it work your lock screen will be bypass. Backup your stuffs, do a factory reset to get rid of the lock code
From what I'm reading he can't unlock the tablet due to too many attempts. He also can't unlock it with the google account because it can't access his wireless router. That would also make him unable to install the app to bypass the screenlock. I'm not sure if there is any other way to get around it. unless you take the tablet to somewhere else that you had used wifi and hope they haven't also changed their wireless. Other than that a factory wipe is all I can think of.
Can you just set the SSID and password on the wifi router to a known good value that the TF is looking for? In other words, make your current wifi mimic the old one?
ADB might be a option too, although I bet that is a slim chance.

Hi, I have a Nexus S running 4.0.3 and I have a password (the alphanumeric one) set on it. (someone else set it, it's all a really dumb situation)
I thought that if you couldn't remember your password that you could log in with your main Google credentials, but I see no such option, even after failing the password 70 times!
If I can't do that then how can I get around this password?
Thanks for any help!

It gives you the option to change your password Just click: "Can't access your account?" @ google account sign in via your pc, you'll then be asked to give your e-mail adress & proceed from there!

Ah no, what I meant was there's a password on my phone which I can't remember.
I know my Google password.
You can try Screen Lock Bypass App
I used it on my old phone, worked
havent tried it on nexus s though
works by downloading it from market.android.com
if it works, you can get in to save data/pics and then wipe the phone
it wont recover the pw thought
Never mind, just decided to do a hard reset from recovery. Shame though.
My friend forgot the password of his transformer. He thinks he left the wifi switched off, so he couldn't get the "Sign in to google to unlock" to work.
he doesn't want to reset everything and lose his data, so is there any way to fix it? can I root it and delete some file to remove the password?

Try this. They mention an app that will unlock your screen at every reboot. If he does have any sort of connectivity (which you can see even if the screen is locked) you can push the app from the play store, then just reboot your device. Otherwise it's factory reset it seems... thought there's probably a way through ADB, just can't help you there. But if you figure where the stored password is, you may be able to manually remove it somehow.

Well if it's connected then problem solved because he can unlock with Google password. Thanks though. (I haven't heard from him so I'm not sure what he did)

Hi All,
I've been doing a lot of searching and reading on the forums but haven't found an solution to my problem.
I've been tgrying to unlock the boot-loader of my tablet for days. I downloaded and installed v8 of the
ASUS unlock tool.
Everytime I try to use it, I get to the "Google Account Verification" step it says:
"Your password is not valid"
I know I've entered the correct password. I've actually signed out of my google accounts from the tablet
and then signed back in just to make sure I wasn't fat-fingering it over and over.
Here're the details:
ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
Android Version 4.2.1
Kernel Version 3.1.10-gb1a9af5
Build number: JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.14.10.20130801
As far as I know, the tablet is absolutely stock (I bought it on e-bay)
If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
I want to unlock, the install TWRP via fast-boot on the way to trying a couple of custom roms.
My search-foo is relatively weak so if I've missed an obvious thread, please forgive me.
atTHANKSvance!

You don't have 2-step verification activ on your Google account, do you?
If yes, you need to disable it for this procedure.

Brilliant!
You have almost certainly diagnosed my problem....
It's late here, but I'll turn off 2-factor authentication and try again in the morning.
I'll post again with my results.
That was my problem..
I didn't actually need to deactivate 2-step authentication. Google will generate an application specific password for those programs that can't handle the 2 step process. I generated one for the unlock tool and it unlocked on the first try.
That was it...
Instead of deactivating 2-step auth, I generated a new app specfic password for the unlock tool. I put it in and it worked the first time.
Thanks again!!

Here's another solution: (I couldn't get any of the above solutions to work)
After 20 minutes thrashing around in the jungle of Google settings I discovered that in the Google "Less secure apps" page of the account settings it says "Some apps and devices use less secure sign-in technology, which makes your account more vulnerable. You can turn off access for these apps, which we recommend, or turn on access if you want to use them despite the risks." So I changed the "Access for less secure apps" on that page to "Turn on" and - bingo ! - the Unlock app on my Asus tf700t accepted the Google account password that it had previously been rejecting and went on to unlock the tablet. Then I went back to the "Less secure apps" page of the account settings and changed it back to "Turn off", i.e. I restored it to the more secure setting.

I have tried this as well and I cannot get my tablet to unlock. I have verified it is registered within ASUS' systems, I have verified I do not have 2 factor authentication and I have less secure access on.
Does anyone have any other ideas how to get passed this Google Password issue?

Yes. Factory reset the tablet, setup wifi but no Google account, run the app, it'll work now

I found that once I deleted my Google account on the tablet I was able to complete the bootloader unlock.
Thanks for the assistance.

I've been trying to unlock mine for over 2 years. V7 unlock installed, removed account, ran unlock tool, VIOLA! Success!
Now, what seems to be the best ROM to use is what I have to figure out next...... is there a solid KK or Lollipop ROM?
I set my phone up with a virtual number and established a Vivo account, however it never asked me to set up a password yet seems to have one already tied to the phone number. Anyway I cannot reset the password as I don't have access to that virtual number anymore. You cannot do anything without this password. Do any of you know how to bypass this security and complete a hard reset? I found Evenshop's method here, but I think there are some steps missing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Go to Settings, more settings, apps, all, vivo account and then first install updates, and second force closed.
Sorry for translate, my language are spanish.

Same Problem here, it s also not possible to deactivate vivos "FindMyPhone"... cant make a factory reset Always asked for the the PW... Also the solution settings, Mode settings, Apps, all etc didnt work for me. In the app vivo Account i cant do anything. No Install no uninstall No reinstall...and No choice to force close. Only in the app vivo Cloud i can do that things but when i go to settings factory reset, erase all datas, it asks me again for the vivo Account PW.... Any ideas? Thx
No Chance to make a factory reset.
Vivo support gave me this tip to bypass the account password. Have not tried it but it may help. "If Find my Phone switch is turned off in VivoCloud, you can remove the account by erasing all data on your phone."
Yeah thats right... It will work, but on my nex find my Phone Switch is Turned on For some reason, so i cant Turn it off, without a Password

this worked perfectly! thank you! :good:
I bring good news.
Hello guys, I bring good news.
I specialized I carried out numerous researches and I was able to find out how to remove the blocked Vivo Account for whatever reason.
the process is simple but a little evasive, it is necessary to remove the back cover of the device to jump two contacts on the board.
I will be making the unlocking service available to those who need it.
The Service can be performed remotely, via teamviewer.
All support instructions will be passed on to the customer.
The cost of the service is $ 30 USD and the time to complete the process is approximately 15 minutes.
How to remove vivo account without email and phone number
Hi,
My customer just bought brand new Samsung S20. He has receipt for it, original box and access to associated Google account. After first setup, login to Google and setting up the pin he performed an Android update which triggered reboot and asked for pin which he has forgotten.
Moreover the phone is in airplane mode. After login to Google on PC, "find my phone" shows the Samsung device as offline so as far as I understand password recovery won't work in this case?
Is there any way to turn on WiFi or cellular data to perform pin/password recovery from associated Google account?
Unfortunately adb is also disabled.
Fun isn't it?
And soooo secure.
He better start, again... from the beginning
Factory reset from the boot menu.
If he forgot his Goggle account password he'll need to recover that first.
OK, never mind. We don't need to keep the data, so after factory reset the phone will let to connect WiFi and login by Google account
