Hi any help would be great please . I forgot my pattern lock to get on my Sony xperia z and as my internet is turned off on my phone it wont let me log in with my Gmail account (security question wasn't given as an option). I have tried plugging it into the computer but its saying 0 files; I have tried putting the password in a lot of times so thinking maybe this is why. The problem is I have pictures of daughter that realllly don't want to lose if there's anyway possible to get them. (yes im one of the few idiots that doesn't back up pictures )

Okay if you want the WHOLE story here goes: (if not skip to the second paragraph)
Last night I came home from working a double shift and was very tired. I was sleepily playing with my phone and my genius self decided to reset my password (since I've recently said my password out loud a couple times when I give ppl my phone and they ask me to unlock it for them) but of course my genius self makes a password to stupe anyone who would dare steal my phone...and in the process dupe myself as well. I dont remember a damn number from the password ...except possibly an 8 and a 1. Anyways I woke up in fright and shock and looked every where on google for a way to circumvent the password. No luck.
Then I remembered that a while ago I changed the settings on my computer so that I didn't have to unlock my phone every time I plugged it in. YAY! Except th one computer that has that feature does not have outlook, or at least outlook isnt working right.
In essence my question is this. Someone please let me know of a program with which I can backup my contacts (and preferably messages as well) without actually having to do any installing on the phone itself or toying with it...since I can't get past the password screen. Basically a program that would be pc based. If not, could someone please lemme know how to do it step by step on outlook? cuz i've tried a millino times (prior to this password fiasco) and have never succeeded...I feel like my outlook isnt the full version or something tho..like some features are gone. I dont know.
Also, could I just go into my phone folder, copy and paste everything out, hard reset, then copy and paste everything in? It wont lemme copy the file "cemail" whatever that it.
PS my phone is an HTC Touch Diamond, the verizon version.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. Please help me out, cuz it really is a sucky situation. Especially wen I know that everything in my phone is just a password away. A password that I created....in my sleep. What the heck man. THanks in advance!
Hi I'm having a problem with Galaxy 5 i5500 i have entered a pattern [the one wich you use to see the home screen] and i forgot it. now i entered the pattern wrong too many times and my phone is locked and asks me to enter a google account. i havent set up a google account in my samsung so i can't access it. can anyone help me if they could tell me how to reset it or factory reset it? i have tried the secret codes and they don't work.
Why is it that 90% of the time, the first thing people do when they get a phone or tablet is put in a password (same with laptops and desktops). While I'm at it, why in the blue hell do people always hide the password on the unlock screen when making vids on youtube? YEAH
ANYWAY, google is your friend bro. You should be able to boot the phone in recovery mode (someone please correct me if I'm wrong on that because I'm not 100% on it) and do a factory reset. I'm not going to take the time to google it or search XDA on how to do it for you though. I learned how to walk because my parents refused to carry me around for the rest of my life....just sayin
So my niece got my personal WP7 Samsung Focus and I removed the password so she could game and she put a password on it. She doesn't know what she typed in, any way I can get back into the phone? I would like to keep the pictures on there if at all possible, since they were not auto backed up to SkyDrive due to data caps.
Any ideas? I've tried a lot of combos and nothing....
tried syncing with zune or the usb enabler i dont remember if that works under locked screen but zune should...
Zune says the device is locked and requires a pin... I miss Windows 98 when you could press cancel and get logged in. Or the iPhone and its bugs that let you login.
u sure ur pics werent backed up the last time u synced with zune ? hopefully
Very sure. I really hope there is a work around or something I can push to it like I did with my Dev Phone and Mango.
hopefilly there is... did u try the usb enabler ?
Just tried it and no such luck
Thanks for the ideas thou!
hey ur welcome anytime ... sorry didnt work only solution i have ever heard of for forgetting password was a hard reset...
I recently bought myself a transformer prime tf201 and i have had a pattern on it for a little while. A few friends attempted without me noticing to unlock it and eventually got to the stage where it asks for my google account username and password.
However even when i put those in its says invalid username or password, i have read this is a bug to do with multiple accounts.
I really dont want to factory reset the tablet. Ive seen apps that i can remote install to temporary bypass the lockscreen, however the tablet has wifi completely turned off so i cant do anything like that. Is there anyway over the usb connection to turn wifi on, install an app, or some how bypass the lock screen. Also if there is no way of doing that can i root the device and somehow get all my stuff back. I have had no luck so far, please help as i have no idea how i can get all my stuff back without resetting it. It would be greatly appreciated for an answer to my problem and if i have to root it a link to something helping me to do that.
Thanks heaps Brent.
ps. when the device is locked the usb connection is useless as nothing comes up on the computer
I have the same problem! my password is refused!
So I switched from my Xperia XZ to an iphone begging of the year. Moved most of my stuff over but left some old photos etc on there to move another time. Can't remember the password but I was under the impression that I could in an emergency case unlock or rest the phones password from my google account ?
I've put the sim back in the phone and can see the device but only allows me to lock the device not set a new password or reset it etc ?
Any ideas ?
Dw got in eventually !
