I've never had this before. Installed the latest omnirom with su and gapps through philz recovery. everything went perfect I've done this before without incident. when it finally booted up hey boot it up and went to a password lock screen when I entered the password it said incorrect pin I tried multiple combinations pins and can't get it to open. I even wiped cache and dalvik. I have a recovery stored on the device but it is a twrp recovery. how do I get past this lock screen in omnirom and can i flash a twrp backup in philz?

I am a relatively new android user but do enjoy flashing roms, kernels etc
My problems began when i was trying to flash a new rom on my Nexus 5
I was trying to flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655722 but despite doing a factory reset and wiping the dalvik cache and cache it refused to boot in to the new rom
I tried to flash the rom multiple times but without success, eventually when trying to boot into recovery to try again i was greeted with an unthemed TWRP recovery asking for a password despite the fact that i had a custom theme and multirom installed I tried to proceed anyways but was greeted with E: unable to mount storage
In desperation i tried to solve this problem and found this

TWRP asking for password
After unboxing my Nexus 5, here's what I did:
1. Booted into bootloader
2. fastboot oem unlock
3. Flashed TWRP v2.6.3.0
4. Booted to recovery
The screen that greeted me says "Please Enter Your Password".
I can hit the cancel button below this which takes me to the normal TWRP screen. I then pushed SuperSU to /sdcard, but when I flash it it fails because it's unable to mount /cache or storage.
When I reboot to the system, it takes an awfully long time (approximately 30s) to progress past the "Google" screen, and then it just seems to sit on the booting animation forever.
Any help?
EDIT: Solved my own problem.
Hit cancel at the password screen, then go into Wipe and then do a factory reset by swiping. Then go back into Wipe and press the 'Format data' button. You have to type 'Yes', and it will take a few seconds. After that everything should work normally.

I now fear that i maybe without both a rom and all my files such as my music that was stored on my phone.
Is there any way for me to undo the damage i may have done to to my phone?
You can't recover the data. But you can push files over with ADB.

So I unlocked, rooted and installed Euphoria ROM on my Moto G today, and now I'm perplexed to find that when I select the "Reboot" option either in Android or TWRP, I immediately get shoved back into TWRP. Rebooting to Bootloader works as expected, rebooting to Recovery works as expected, but the normal reboot doesn't.
Also, when my phone is offline and I plug it in, it immediately lights up and boots directly into TWRP. I don't know why this is, but I'd like to fix it since it's hit and miss trying to boot into the ROM normally.
Can anyone help me pin point the problem? In all my years with Android I've never seen an issue with boot priority such as this.
Things I have done:
-I tried to decide on a recovery so I flashed PhilZ, CWM, and TWRP in that order from the fastboot commandline
-wiped system, data, cache, dalvik cache, and flashed Euphoria ROM
Thanks!
One thing I would suggest is to flash the stock recovery and try rebooting, even i had encountered this problem. Later you can flash twrp again and everything will work fine.
Are you getting any errors while wiping partitions

I'm having the same problem here. Wiping works alright, no errors at all. Although the built-in TWRP file manager is unable to see any files in the system folder.
Let me start form the beginning.:-
My bootloader was locked and I was on stock 4.4.4 . I faced no problems at that time. I saw OTA notification for lollipop 5.0.2 update, downloaded it, installed it, device gets restarted, I saw new bootlogo and then bootanimation. Just after the bootanimation, the screen goes blank(back-light is still on). I waited for about 40-50 minutes, but the screen is still blank with backlight on. Tried rebooting 3-4 times but stuck after bootanimation. 1 time it booted successfully and I was presented with the lockscreen. I swiped unlock the screen but suddenly services was stopping one by one and various applications also getting force closes, even the launcher also got force closed. So I rebooted again, and again got stuck after bootanimation, getting only a blank screen with backlight on.
Now I booted my phone into recovery, factory reset it(also wiped cache manually) and then booted into system, still no good. I was getting the same blank screen after bootanimation. I tried rebooting 4-5 times and at one time, it got past the bootanimation. There I saw that the device didn't get factory reset(wallpaper, home screen icons were at that place only where it was before). Now again service got stopped and apps got force closed.
Now, I downloaded stock firmware images from here on xda and flashed it from bootloader. I was still getting blank sceen after bootanimation and occasionally it got booted and everything force closes again.
After trying everything, I unlocked my bootloader and tried flashing a custom recovery (so that i can try installing custom roms). But after successfully flashing custom recovery, I booted into recovery and find that it didn't got flashed (I was still on stock recovery). I tried flashing different custom recoveries 7-8 times, but the stock recovery persists!.
So, now the bootloader is unlocked, stock recovery is persisting after flashing any custom recovery, even the user data is persisting after factory reset, and I am unable to boot to system properly. I don't know what to do after this. Please let me know if this all means that some part of the hardware is failing in my moto g or if it can ever be come back to life.
Edit:- I have just booted into twrp Recovery(not flashed, only booted) and found that I am unable to wipe internal storage. Everything else like, dalvik cache, data, cache and system do not give error on wiping. Also, I am unable to delete any file or folder using twrp file manager
Thank you.
I have rooted my phone and installed CM 12.1. Yesterday I backed up my data using twrp and then tried to reboot it but it didn't. It just shows up the boot image and then turns off and then shows up the same. I tried to wipe data using twrp and install a fresh rom and but now i can't access twrp. On entering twrp, it shows just the image to twrp and then suddenly the phone tries to reboot.
I also tried to install CWM recovery and then tried to wipe data but it just stuck in wiping data for a long time.
Please help...:crying::crying:
I'm sure that this problem was asked a bunch of times now, but I didn't find any reliable solution to this so far.
I wanted to move from LOS to Omnirom.
What I did:
Wipe cache/system/date
Flashed Omnirom
Flashed TWRP (blu_spark_v9.96)
Reboot to recovery
But unfortunately, what I saw is that all of my internal storage is encrypted, and I don't know how to decrypt it back to normal without wiping it all to start from scratch.
By this time I tried some various tries to revert it back to normal.
But... obviously, I kinda broke it.
What I mean is that I've got the "stuck TWRP logo" and accidentally deleted to boot partition (I've already recovered them back (A/B)) but until I'll manage to decrypt my files, I'm stuck with the stock recovery and can only boot to TWRP, but not flashing it.
My question is:
What should I do next in order to return my recovery to TWRP and boot to my custom ROM properly?
