Hello! I am solving a problem for my friend. She has a SONY XPERIA Mini and she forgot her locking pattern. Even her google account password. I know only one way to solve this is factory rest. But she wants to keep SMS messages, i know hard reset wipes ALL personal datas. Is there any way to keep them, maybe if i root the phone and get access to them? or via USB debbuging if she had allowed it before she forgot password?
Thank you best regards.

There is special app Screen Lock Bypass specially for that case. Try to do the following:
Restore Google password via backup e-mail or phone number;
Go to the web version of Google Play;
Login with the Google account associated with your Android device;
Install Screen Lock Bypass;
Reboot your device.

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.

That is the security feature. What if you are not the owner and you are trying to put your hands over others phone. May be you can try clicking help me finding my account option on the screen.
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

muchas gracias! es perfecto
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
I am the owner of the phone. Have been using it for almost 6 month. I have my face, fingerprint and passcode set on the phone.
last week I got into a big fight with my girlfriend and just don't want her to get into my phone again. So i changed the passcode from the one we both know to a new one..... Since she know all my passcode, I changed it to one that I don't use often...Now I can't remember it...
I have all my google account on the phone and I know all my previous passcode .I also have my fingerprint and face registered.. I already talked to google. They asked me to reset my pixel. I don't want to. There is one chating app ( wechat) that has all my history with my family( parent, sister and newphew) and their photos. I don't want to lose that.....
Please someone help me find a way to bypass the passcode, or let me use the old one... please.
It has been rooted and unlocked bootloader but i have not yet install recovery on it yet
I assume you have rebooted and need to enter a password since it won't accept the fingerprint as the 1st form of authentication? Any chance you have a Titanium backup with data saved offline? You could reset the phone and reinstall apps with data. That should take care of the chatting app.
For that particular app, not yet have titannium backed up offline.... I guess I am screwed.
I think that with Google "find my device" (search it from your browser) you can remotely change the password/pin.
I never did that, but I know that there is an option, you can always give it a try
I tested the find my device thing once. It definitely does ask for your password that is currently on your account.
I tried this option. But since I already had a passcode there, it won't ask for a new code that I just set up...
"If you already have a screen lock, it will be used instead of the password you just set up."
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

Thanks for the answer I was just writing about factory reset. I just realised how simple that was and why I didn't think about it for the last hour

Yay!
It's quit a useless pain... the new Android, learn chilling new forms of panic and dispare.
The 72 hour lockout is a really nice touch.
