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.
Hey guys,
So I know I'm not alone on this issue, I've come across countless topics and I couldn't find a solid solution ANYWHERE and I tried EVERYTHING. I finally stumbled upon a solution that worked for me and it DIDN'T involve a clean wipe of my ROM.
(oh and a little background, I'm running a Droid 4 on Verizon with stargo's port of CM11 KitKat)
The topic is on the cyanogenmod website (can't post the link because of stupid forum rules), and I found the solution in the comments. Here is the comment by Matt Mower:
"Michael Gernoth, after changing apns-conf.xml, you might need to force a reload of apns-conf.xml. One way to achieve this is:
1) Enable airplane mode
2) Restart phone
3) Settings > Mobile networks should now show "Access point names" as a menu you can enter
4) In Access point names menu, choose "Reset to default" from the drop menu
5) Disable airplane mode"
So I did that, and wallah, I was able to send and receive MMS again and the error is gone!! I've seen soo many other people on here who have the same issue and have tried to reset to default and they mention that it wouldn't save, and I think the reason is it just needed that said manual reload of apns-config.xml.
Please note that I take NO CREDIT FOR THIS FIX, I just happened to find the post that contained the info that I believe many others have missed. Please share this info with anyone else having this issue as it could save them a ton of frustration as well.
Thanks for reading!
I personally tried several solutions including replacing the apns-conf.xml file, manually entering all the APN info and others without any real permanent success.
There is a ridiculously simple fix to cure this issue once and for all.
Make sure your Droid 4 is rooted and open the Play Store. Install Root Tweaker by broodplank. Open the app and check the box next to Cyanogenmod APNS List. Click "Tweak now!" You'll get a message advising it has been applied. Close the app, reboot your device and you should be good to go.
Ahem!

I followed these instructions, and literally one second after turning airplane mode back off I got a "No APN specified on device message." So, at least on the OnePlus One this fix does not work. However, it is apparently possible to reset the APN to default without going into airplane mode or rebooting, although I don't know if that reloads the apns-config.xml file. Anyway, I just changed to a different APN, and so far that seems to have fixed the problem.
By the way, for all you language mavens, "wallah" is a horrible corruption of "voila," which is properly pronounced much the same way but adding the "v" sound at the start, phonetically sort of "vwallah". Cheers!
so helpfull, thank you
Simply, set your APN settings as default from drop menu, shutdown your cell, Remove sim and now insert your sim turn on cell, your issue is fixed..........
Big hug jdinardo22- the issue was fixed by enabling airplan , reboot, disabling it
and my phone is 1+1
it took me much pain and time , till getting to this simple advice that made an end to the creeping situation.
the only benefit of this terrible journey, is that i got read of a lot of nonsense and suspicious apps.
tanks again to jdinardo!!!:angel:

After downloading and flashing the official B521 update, sure there was no usable keyboard app, so I had to voice search to a 3rd party site to download one, but other than that all was well... or so I thought. I happened to switch my phone's mobile data setting to 3G only, during a spot of bad reception (the constant switching made it impossible to do anything), after which I realised that this update had removed all the LTE options from the dropdown menu.
My first instinct was to go to the "project act menu" from the dialler, but that would not load at all, when typed in correctly and confirmed...the phone just clears the number input area and doesn't open any menu. At this point, I did not know how I was going to sort out the issue, I thought maybe a .prop or .db file would be the answer. I have edited such files on other phones to do a number of things, should be simple right? Boy was I wrong.
Before beginning to poke around I did some searches of course, and found that you can get the 4G options back, by editing a value in the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db ...So I unlocked my bootloader, rooted, and did just that. Put the file back in place, swell, guess I'll reboot. Then it froze on the Honor logo, impossible to turn off, with good timing--I was able to access the stock recovery and fastboot modes.
Since then I have been able to get my phone to boot by deleting the settings.db, so that Android created a new one, only problem is... this new file of course has so much hardware specific things missing from it...It's kind of a joke. All I wanted to do was allow myself to freely switch between 4G and 3G on the Lollipop update, and in trying to do so, bricked the device and had to lose all the stock settings in order to get it working again.
I changed the permissions and ownership of my edited settings.db (as best as I could in root explorer) after replacing it, but nothing seems to help as far as I can tell, if the settings stay I cannot boot.
How exactly am I meant to get the original database back? I assume if I can downgrade to the Kitkat, that will sort that side out, but even if I do that...and then reflash Lollipop... I'm still going to be losing the 4G option, unless I never change it from auto--ever.
This is just silly and frustrating... Literally all I want is the official settings.db for this phone on lollipop aside from: the network modes changed so that I can switch between 2G/3G/4G, 3G only, and 4G only modes. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this on my own, and I wish I made a backup before trying...
Please help, thanks~
Hi
Hopefully my title/question isn't too cryptic.
I am a Note 4 user and have been flashing ROM's (thank you Dr.Ketan) and RECOVERY's for a few years now, but on a fairly basic level - so I'm no programmer.
However the issue I have today, that I cannot seem to resolve, is with my wife's Samsung J3 (J320FN) on 5.1.1 stock.
She's let our daughter play with it and our daughter has put a password on the lockscreen but can't remember what it was (or more likely won't tell us what it is).
My initial thought was to install TWRP then view data/system to delete the 3 lockscreen files. Voila! I've done this before on her previous J3 (that she destroyed when she dropped it down the toilet).
However on her new J3 I didn't have the foresight to enable USB debugging or OEM unlock so when I go to flash TWRP, it fails due to FRP.
I've researched on here / Youtube / other sites and can see various methods of getting around this (e.g. rootjunky's method) but they involve going into stock recovery and performing a factory reset / wipe.
But we don't want to wipe the data.
My wife hasn't backed up her phone via KIES and when I asked her for her password for her Samsung account or Google account to see if she had backups online, I got that blank look that a non-technical person gives you when you ask them for their password to help them out with something.
So ultimately we want to get past the lockscreen password to get into the phone, clear the lockscreen password, back up her data / images etc., and reset her Samsung account password (if she set one up) and the Google password.
Am I missing the obvious here? Can it be done? Can TWRP be installed in a manner that bypasses FRP?
Any thoughts would be most appreciated.
Thanks
Spanker333
Update: I tried flashing the stock ROM which "seemed" to work, but it didn't change anything. The phone still booted to the password screen.

Doesnt require a reset at least I don't think. I just did this on a s7 edge last week and can confirm it works. I used NFC android beam to beam the apk to the s7 edge that way it was in the internal storage of the s7

If it's just a lock screen issue try wondershare dr fone android recovery. Theres an option to bypass lock screen
Thanks for the reply droseofc
I tried your link and used Realterm (as per rootjunky instructions) but because the phone was locked, the commands brought up a locked error.
I tried Android Beam to send a file and then I tried by bluetooth (the J3 has bluetooth switched on). But nothing. I think it is because it locked at the password stage that it won't allow anything to be received that way.
I do own a copy of Dr/Fone Wondershare and I did try that before, however there are only certain phones supported for some features and the J3 isn't one of them.
It's a tough nut to crack!
I shall keep trying.
Cheers!
If you could get into the samsung account online theres a feature on samsung find my phone to unlock the phone screen. Id try resetting samsung password, usually some type of verification is only needed and most of the time a reset link sent to the email on account. What about calling the phone to bypass the lock screen, or if you flash twrp and access the files through twrp to make a backup or hook to pc and drag and copy folders wanted kept. On some phones if the password is entered wrong a certain amount of times itll prompt for a backup pin which may b easier. Although on some phones factory reset automates after a certain amount of incorrect attempts too.

Reread title and realize twrp is what ur trying to do. If usb debugging is enabled there are adb commands you can send to phone to access frp setting
---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 AM ----------
Lol and reread post, no usb debugging. You could try factory recovery and pull a backup using adb. Idk if usb debugging has to be enabled for factory recovery or not. If you reflashed a stock file it shouldve completely wiped internal storage. What is the lock screen exactly
Hi
I had tried adb to try and sideload a rootjunky apk but that didn't work (probably because I didn't really know what I was doing lol).
Yes, the TWRP wouldn't install because of the FRP.
We got the Google account password (reset it) and then went to Android Device Manager > Lock and set a new password.
Just when I did that there was a small blue message under the ADM that stated that the phone was now locked BUT since it already had a password on the lock screen the new one wouldn't be needed.
I thought that ADM would set a new password lock for the phone because that's what I had seen in some Youtube videos. But apparently it will set a new password for the lock screen if the previous lock method was code or pattern - but not if there was already a password.
I tried the "calling the phone > answering > backing out of the phone app" method, but that didn't work.
I tried entering the password multiple times to get the 30 second wait, hoping that after trying this many times I would get an option of "Forgot Password" and a reset link. But nope. Not having it.
I wish I had thought of trying to get into a Samsung account but the wife seemed adamant that she hadn't set one up to start with so that wasn't at the forefront of my mind.
So I went recovery > wipe / factory reset in the hope that I could use my Dr.Phone to recover deleted files. A bit of a long shot but worth a go as that programme has done wonders in the past.
However, due to FRP when I am at the setup screen I am asked to enter the email address associated with the Google Account that was on the phone before. To be expected of course. However entering the Google account login details isn't working now so I've just been to my local Maplins (like Radio Shack I guess) and bought an OTG adaptor.
I'm now going to try and follow another one of rootjunky's videos to bypass the FRP (I tried the most recent one where he used another phones wifi to tether to but it wouldn't work).
I've not heard of the adb. Idk command you mention but I'll do a search on it to see how it is used.
What a ton of messing to get to this stage. But I like doing this stuff anyway so the challenges are welcome.
Once the OTG method works I need to root the phone to get Dr.Fone to work as from previous experience with the old J3, it needs root to work.
Having fun!
Cheers
(PS. "What is the lock screen exactly" - the screen that comes up after boot and prompts you for a password / pattern / code to get to the home screen. Not sure if that is what you meant in your question though).
Idk if u tried this method but i did successfully after a reset done the way you did and to bypass the same dilemma you describe. http://www.bane-tech.com/samsung-frp-bypass-universal-method/ the trickiest part is probably catching the phone in time after the call screen pops up after entering commands in realterm. I suggest watching the video and pausing as you go to make sure each step is done.

As for lock screen i was meaning more like was it pin, pattern, password, fingerprint etc. But since you are passed that id recommend the method that involves frp apk to phone, you may have a hard time with that without nfc, u may be able to sideload it using stock recovery and hooking to a pc, idk if the pc will recognize it as storage though. There are adb commands to send files to a phone, you may be able enter adb via recovery. Unless u have a sd slot or a usb that also has the phone mini usb on other end and u could put apk on usb and plug usb into phone and navigate to it when needed.

Once you got that all done id recommend using deft to recover files, its a linux distro, free and can be used without installing aka live. Its said to be used by law enforcement and military. Theres also a manual download which id suggest having just in case. Itd be the most thorough way of recovery but also requires a bit of focus as its advanced. Otherwise there are several android recovery programs, most working the best if phone is rooted.
ironically I received a J3 j320r that is google lock out. Basically i fix or clean/upgrade pcs/cells just by word of mouth and today got the j3. definitley can not use that root junky method, the realterm shows error on each command send. it does have a sd card slot though, but need to access dialer somehow. you figure any ways out?

I have had my J3 almost two weeks I'm almost sure it has the latest security patch and I can not get a keyboard to pop up I even went as far as Copying Pasting almost a full account info registration but was short one # to complete it it has One # A 8..well Ive exhaustied most steps I'm hoping today I can finally use MY less then two week old FRP locked J320W8 LOL..any help would be great but yes I get stuck without keyboard
Sent from my SM-G900W8 using XDA-Developers mobile app
At this same time i had a zte warp 7 that was similar in setup but didnt have samsung nemore to test but should still work. Alls you may need to do is another reset because the keyboard should pull up.
The farthest i got into the phone itself is by resetting it through recovery, and when the phone first turns on it asks you if you want to enable accessibility. This is the only time it will ask so if you miss it u have to reset again. But click on accessibility and enable talkback and switch access. With switch access it will popup a tutorial u can skip or do. But with switch access on you can swipe down and to the right which will bring up a menu, i went to switch access settings and gesture control and customized the side double tap to recent apps. With the swipe down and to right i believe i clicked talkback settings and through that i was able to get to the phone settings. You have to get to app settings i cant remember exactly how but its only possible with switch access on. Once you do you can swipe down and to right to turn off switch access which will turn itself back on if u turn screen off and back on jst n case u need it to get back as its easier with it off once u get where u need, but can only get there with it on, sometimes depending on wat u click it'll take u back to setup wizard where its locked, turn screen off back on and doubletap or swipe down right to get recent apps or settings again. In the app settings i went through each one and enabled what i thought to help such as internet browser security settings allowing access to each. If you force stop and clear data on the setupwizard (green one I think) it will reenable the swipe down bar up top. I got as far as logging in google account using a chrome browser popup by clicking one of the terms and conditions links. Got notified of log in and everything but still locked out. Wouldnt install apps no matter what i tried.

Ive actually been thinking of writing google about this whole frp thing. I dont see how they see they are empowered to lock devices out completely because of a different account being used to log in. I understand why they think they need to do it. But if the phone wasnt reported lost by the owner it should be considered that the owner is fully aware the phone is being used on a different account. Android is google but the phone purchased by the owner is not. Its up to the owner to decide if the pbones lost or stolen, not google. Sure this may have saved a few stolen phones, but every stolen pjone could be by their owners taking the responsible steps. Itd be like selling a car that is somehow linked to owner (fingerprint, insurance whatever) and dodge or gmc locking the car down because of it. Causes issues for people and not just the stolen ones. Isnt it generally wrong to punish an entire society because of a small group who break the rules? (Obamacare) There is PLENTY of data tracking and options for the owner of the phone to track their phone, lock it, wipe it and report it (also for google to know everything you do, everything) that google should not be able to or need to automatically lock a device because it was logged in with a different account UNLESS the OWNER reports it stolen. After all it is the owners phone. Unless its on contract then once its reported stolen the carrier can do what they need to for recovery. Google should release their grasp on society a little bit, stop default enable tracking our location, our voice searches, our internet searches, our lives unless we turn it on and shouldnt lock out OUR devices unless WE report it stolen. Google has got to be in with the military and i aint tryn to go conspiracy talks here but with everything that they are allowed to control and have, google earth images of things normally that would be thought questionable to see with stamps on the screen stating where the image is from (us navy etc.) I do not think the us military would allow aerial photos to be displayed by a company of their us military bsses unless it was the us military displaying them

Well I went through everything and no switch access at anytime at all..would I have better luck making my friend an "account" before getting to that sign in part I get "no keyboard in"? Or will it just tell me what its been telling me...Your app and functions or whatever have been revoked or not permittee some kinda thing like that.. I m guessing this may the very latest security patch and it shut down accessibility options keyboard options and getting past sign in options I get as far as google terms click on it and one click I have browser but when I try sign in from browser no keyboard and when I copy and paste I get sent back to main FRP screen again without my PIN I've entered being enabled as well

Its going to be near impossible to login without a keyboard popup and sorry about the switchback thing, must be a zte setting. Youve reset the phone using recovery? Power off, hold vol up, home and power until it turns on and let go should get u to recovery. Factory reset, delete cache reboot. Should take you to initial setup until you get to google login part where you will need to log in with same account used the first time phone was setup. Is the phone asking for a pin or does it say this phone has been reset in an unusual way or whatever and to log in with owner google account? If its just the pin screen and u havent reset it id maybe hold off as it may be easier to get through that than the google frp lock. If you have a mini usb to usb otg adapter you could plug adapter in phone and use a pc keyboard, or if u have a rooted phone laying around you can use usb keyboard app which when plugged in is the same as a keyboard. Its not going to help with any amount of accounts made if you have no way of typing them in at that log in screen. If you have factory reset and it does get to google login screen asking for first owner login and no keyboard popup there had to be an issue and i would download/redownload stock firmware and flash in odin because if its asking for a login it should definitely have a way fof entering that in. The only time ive had no keyboard popup is when i have set the default input method to something other then samsung keyboard like sixaxis controller which needs switched back to use keyboard

Well I went through everything and no switch access at anytime at all..would I have better luck making my friend an "account" before getting to that sign in part I get "no keyboard in"? Or will it just tell me what its been telling me...Your app and functions or whatever have been revoked or not permittee some kinda thing like that.. I m guessing this may the very latest security patch and it shut down accessibility options keyboard options and getting past sign in options I get as far as google terms click on it and one click I have browser but when I try sign in from browser no keyboard and when I copy and paste I get sent back to main FRP screen again without my PIN I've entered being enabled as well

If u havent reset the phone and it is a pin and if u had enabled usb debugging prior to the phone being locked you may have options. If usb debugging is not enabled or if u did reset it options become slimmer. I have heard that not trying to login on the device for 72 hour will reset the account thing and allow a login. Not sure if it works, never had the patience.

I found by trying whatever i could theres some way of getting to the settings itself. Easiest was by getting the google app to pull up and searching settings. I did this by getting to the app settings from talkback options and finding someway of getting to its app settings and then clicking menu and going to all apps. From there you could find keyboard and make sure its allowed access to each option. If google app doesnt list settings as a option you will have to make sure in app settings you enable access to phone/storage and then it should. I clicked basically every option available in every route there was and some was dead end, some would get into areas not available before. If your issue is keyboard id try to get to its settings by trying everyroute u can and enabling access for it and every application you think may be helpful in getting where you need. I found when its locked out nearly every app has no access to any features by default so for instance keyboard may not have access to phone and wont popup when needed. You will need to show system apps once in the app settings by clicking menu up top. You may also want to go to apps that can change system settings and enable ones that appear useable. If u get there u can also force stop setupwizard and clear data which will allow bar up top to be pulled down making getting there a whole lot easier. Dont get hopes up, i did all of this and in the end gave up. Without being able to install apps its kind of hard to bypass. May have been a simple enable of whatever installs apps to allowing access but didnt find. The last thing i did try which may have worked was getting another phone and turn on hotspot and on locked phone connecting to it at wifi screen and as soon as it goes to checking connection screen turning off the hotspot and phone should go to screen asking for first and last name. U could do this with wifi just easier to turn off on hotspot. It may take a few tries and probably will. 9/10 times itll say there was an error and go back to wifi setup. I was able to enter name and setup a lock for the screen. Didnt venture further. Also when i did get to settings and went to backup and reset clicking reset didnt do anything. This is the way to reset without getting frp locked out but the option was disabled.
I bought the phone I didn't set up anything BC I was charging the phone until I would be back later on that night...babysitter as smart as she is signs in with her account BC its a brand new phone that MAKES you sign in to get the most as she put it..SMH..any who she replaced my phone I the box where I left it didnt sign out properly so my SON showed her how a Hard Reset is done!! Yeah you get the picture right ?! So that's my brand new phone with a DAMN FRP lock on it..oh yeah it dont matter if you've got the receipt or not anymore they say..???? Isn't that the whole reason behind a Sales Receipt?? Not gthe whole reason but yeah...long story short I have an Awesomely Rooted KLTE device and I was wondering where I may be able to find this app? And I do really appreciate your time and effort into helping me..when ur so stumped all you come up with is a different spot to get stumped again?

So nearly reading the complete thread, it didn't help me out.?.
My problem is.
A couple of months my s7 edge panel broke, so today i repaired it and saw that it had a pattern lock. So i forgot completely and i thought something would help me ro bypass it without losing the data but nothing helped.
1. I don't remember the pattern
2. Usb debugging is disabled.
3. Cant install twrp because of frp lock
4. The Google account password is already changed so i can't use ADM.
5. There is no mobile data or wifi enabling.
Now help me out plz.
If anyone can ask for further to research i can tell.
Thanks
Hey guys, so I work for an IT company that buys and sells ex gov, ex school etc stuff in bulk and resells to whoever, at the moment we have 9 of these things and they are all locked with a number password, we have tried to contact the people we got them from but as so often happens, they haven't been helpful in providing the pin, usually we would give up and throw em out but these things aren't cheap, so as the head tech, one of my superiors offered me one of them to keep/sell myself if I can figure out how to unlock them.
So backstory aside, the easy solution is boot into recovery and wipe, but these things (which ive personally never seen before) have a password in the recovery menu, requiring you to enter a password before it will actually wipe.
What is my best option to unlock/wipe these things? annoyingly the "master reset" codes etc that Panasonic have are not usable cus the dialer cant be accessed from the lock screen, my thought was adb but its been a while since ive messed with that and could do with some guidance on it.
I promise you these are not stolen, we just really dont want to lose a large chunk of change on these.
Thanks guys!
edit: so updates, usb debugging isnt on so ADB cant be done, nothing detects, recovery simply has wipe or reboot, wipe involving a password to be entered before itll wipe, its running android 5 so with some messing around im able to bypass the lockscreen and let the dialer show up and be used, by calling an emergency number and quickly hanging up while frantically clicking back and or home button, I can get it to (while in a semi locked state still) launch the home menu thats set up, annoyingly this is some organisations software and exiting it to the actual home screen requires a password again..this time a text password so forget basic guessing, and thats basically where im at, from here launching any of the tools or chrome etc will take you back to the lock screen, if I can somehow get chrome to launch, I could enter settings from there and wipe, but so far cant seem to without it going back to the lock screen and starting all over again.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!
Hi,
I have the same problem! But this thing is brand new!!
I purchased a Panasonic toughpad Fz-x1 a couple of days ago and the first thing I did was to do an update on it which went well and the version of android on it is 4.2.2. I checked the Panasonic website to see if there was an update to 5.1.1 and there was. So I downloaded the file to my sd card and done the update, but now I am stuck with the dreaded dead android red exclamation. There is a menu of two lines, 1: Reboot system now and 2: Wipe data/ factory reset.
When you do a wipe data/ factory reset the next screen is to delete all user data and say yes to that. But now it wants a password that is numeric and I have no idea what that is as I haven't set up any security on it yet. I am hoping someone here can help me with this problem. Thanks
I am getting in touch with Panasonic and when I receive a reply from them I will pass it on here.
i need the same, my japan fz-x1 have a password in this function
