[Q] can't unlock the screen with a current correct Google account

Hello.
My phone is Galaxy Nexus.
I locked screen with pattern, then i try to unlock with wrong patterns, as a result my phone ask me to unlocked it with Google account, then i had try many times, but fails.
But I PROMISE WHAT I INPUTED IS CORRECT. It's because after i flash my phone into 4.0.4 with nexus factory image, I added this account to my phone, and i haven't change passwd since then.
Information inside the phone is important to me, I want to know how to unlock screen, or how to backup my infomation.

Are you sure this is actually your phone?

[Q] Bootloader & recovery security

Is there a way how to set a password or PIN lock for the bootloader or at least the recovery? There's been a lot of break ins in my area lately and when someone steals my phone, I wanna make sure that it will be rendered completely useless (Including IMEI blacklist) and non-recoverable.Is there a way how can be bootloader & recovery locked so a thief can't access the recovery without a password or a PIN lock and thus not able to reset the phone to factory settings?
So far, any anti-theft software I've seen doesn't have this ability and can be easily removed by factory data reset

I believe, but not sure, that TWRP has a PIN code system
You should try Cerberus or avast!, with root they can lock into the system which means the thief has to reflash an FTF file
EDIT
Nope, TWRP doesn't have PIN protection. If you want to secure your phone, some tips:
1. Make sure the on/off menu cannot be opened when the phone is locked.
2. Make sure your data is always on
3. Use CyanogenMod Account / Cerberus / avast! AntiTheft
x. If you phone gets stolen, use one of the above programs to lock and wipe your device.

[Completed] [Q] rnDell T01C unlock

how can i unlock my DELL T01C tab,i forget my pattern?

Hi,
The only way to get past a pattern lock is by inputting the correct password.... Or a factory reset from recovery, or completely flashing the firmware again. In either case, all user data and files will be gone. That's how the pattern security is supposed to work, so no one can view your data.
See this thread too: [GUIDE][HOW-TO]Crack android pattern lock!
Good luck

I Forget the Pattern Code

Hi, im forget the pattern code, i already use the fingerprint code to unlock the phone, but when i try to enable the iris unlock, the phone asks me for the unlock pattern.
Is there any way to remove the pattern without factory reset the phone or losing the data?

Are you rooted?

somewhere on xda i think there is a zip you can push to your device to remove the pattern.

Moto g Stylus Tracfone setup device lock

I have a moto g stylus XT2211DL and my friend somehow got it locked on the second setup screen. Cannot sign in to wifi or anything, it's not even FRP locked. I am able to bypass the screen using MTP and then maps to get to settings, but some settings are still locked like developer options, and you can't install apps. My question is, does anybody know which system app the device lock would be in so I can either disable or force quit so I can finish the setup and unlock all the features again?

here is the screen

How about factory reset it through stock recovery and try again?

I tried that, but it just keeps going back to that screen :/ I even tried finding test points to get to BROM with no luck

You have to set up the device using enterprise enrolment and that would bypass the locked screen limitation. I have the same phone and I experienced the same issue. That's the only way I got around it.
On the welcome screen, I guess where you select Language, tap on any empty space 6 times and your setup will be switched to enterprise enrollment or some type of enterprise management setup...
I just searched on google images for sample Android MDM QR Codes (images), then I scanned one with the phone and followed through with the setup.
That's how I got mine fully setup...
Of course, I intend to find a way to bootloader unlock it, unofficially, and flash out Tracfone firmware so I'm not worried... Just haven't been able to bootloader unlock unofficially yet... I'm still on here searching for a way.
