Good day!
My phone is lock with too many password attempts. Unfortunately the usb debugging is disabled. I have stocked recovery and was able to access it. I can factory reset my phone but I don't want to do this that way as I will lost my files and apps installed and my contacts. I wonder if can I edit my backup and enable the usb debugging there or reset the password in there before I restore. Is this possible?
Thank you for giving your time!

Hello everyone,
A device of mine fell into the hands of someone whom I'd rather it didn't. This person is computer literate enough to try something. I have encrypted my phone, which is running CM10.1 (an android 4.2.1 variant), and have employed a password (not a pin code).
I wonder how secure the encryption function is. From poking around the net, I've learned that if one can obtain access to the phone's system partition, one can grab the password database/hash, desalt it, and run a brute force on it. This is assuming that one can get into the phone and grab that file, which is not possible from recovery at least (mount operations are apparently protected by encryption). My bootloader is unlocked. I wonder how worried I need to be.
Note that I'm not asking for instructions on how to crack through a phone's password screen; I'm merely asking if it would be possible so that I can know how secure my data is. What do you guys think?
Cheers
If you had Enabled USB Debugging then he can easily get access to your Files.He Just needs to pull them on his computer which is very much possible.Or if you had a custom recovery he can create a Nandroid and then get access.But if you dont have a Custom recovery or USB Debugging enabled then it should be hard but not impossible.

Hi, thanks for that.
I flashed ClockWorkMod recovery so that I could flash ROMs to the phone. It's possible to reboot into the recovery menu, but because it's encrypted, there's no way to mount the USB storage and push files to the phone. If USB debugging is disabled, would it suffice to keep CWM on the phone?
Hi, I'm a new user and i'm sorry for making this post without even introduce myself, but i'm desperate
I broke my Acer Cloudmobile (S500) screen, making the touchscreen not working.
The device is rooted (i had several problems with my sdcard not mounting in CWM but it worked, it seemed), the USB debug is on and i'm running a stock 4.1.2 JB (so no "adb root").
How can I backup my app data and sms? that's the only folders i can't see from my pc (i tried with several computers, Win8/WinXP/MacOSX10.7)
Thanks for your future replies!
P.S.: if i make any error, let me say i'm not a native speaker, and if you need any other detail or explanation i'm, of course, happy to tell
Maybe try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969650
But I don't know how you can grant superuser permission for adb. If your phone support otg just connect a usb mouse and backup your data.
Another solution: Make a cwm backup, reboot your phone and pull the backup files from your sdcard with adb. On your computer you can extract contacts and everything.
I hope this is helpful for you!

You can recover credentials from PC
If you have a PC or laptop than download the setup from anywhere e.g. i use https://filesmint.com/samsung-smart-switch/. Install it and after this you will see dialog box as well as system tray icon.
You can right click on it's icon and sign in to your account. There you will select forget option and use recovery details to restore your account through mobile or email address. :good:
Same problem i forgot my smartswitch problem
Same problem i forgot my smartswitch problem
Dear all,
I do have a tricky question and I know already that this could be suspicious.
Allow me describe the issue.
I have Realme 5 where the user set password (not pin or gesture), but is unable to remember.
Now when phone starts (even before Android boot) it asks for password (not gesture or pin) which the user is unable to repeat.
Easy solution is factory reset, which is fine to be done.
But there is number of photos he wants to safe.
And I'd like to ask if there is a way to do so.
USB Debug is not allowed, therefore my thinking to use ADB is no possible as phone is not visible.
Is there any way to achieve the goal to safe the photos?
Can I make a backup, do factory reset and restore from backup?
Or is there any other chance? Via recovery/custom ROM? I guess not, since USB Debug is not allowed, right?
Thank you for hints or send me PM if you do not wish to discuss it here.
Jindrich
thanks all who checked this out.
I know how "silly" the request is, as this would be solution for any stolen device.
On the other hand, I was thinking about approaches and seems to me there is no way
Since I do not know pwd, I can't use recovery either, although there is sdcard slot, since I'll be asked for pwd before entering recovery (or before installing something via recovery).
I can't use ADB either, due to USB debug not enabled, this is also a dead end...
So I do not see a way how to get access DCIM folder..

hello everyone ..
I'm trying to access my phone with correct password but i found that work profile is enabled with different lock screen password i didn't set any work profiles before when i searched for that problem i found that using cloned apps make work profile to be enabled automatically
Now my phone is locked with an important data on it So, I really do hope there is a way to get access to those data. And I'd be extremely grateful if someone could help me out with this.
There are many tools for this purpose available for windows and the most common way is by adb tools
Busybox with su might be an option?
can you explain the method i have no experience with that
