Many users are attempting to login to my hotspot by using some kind of software.I want to know the wrong attempted password and their Mac ids. Would it be possible by adding some code in my rooted phone.such like if password doesn't match then save it as text in my phone . anyone can help me on this issue or have sughestion. I would love to know from you guys.thanks.

Is it possible to implement a password into recovery.img (like cyanogens or JF's) So that not just anyone could wipe the phone if they stole it.
Good question.
I only bring this up because I have had my phone stolen and it was locked so Im sure they wiped and also I am trying to make my phone as secure as possible for this next go-around I have already Moved my apps like "MobileDefense" and "Sim Checker" to "/system/app" Which makes them unable to be uninstalled by any thing other than a wipe. So I figure if the Recovery was locked It would completely solve my issue and I would be able to get my phone back no matter what unless it was broken.
i would like this, i am always parannoid that something bad is gonna happen like i lose my phone or someone steals it. this would mean a wipe would be impossible, and the only way to restart teh phone would be to pull the battery if you don't know the password.
the only issue would be that we would have to have a way to set the password which might be difficult to implement

Yes it might be difficult. There could even be a list of preset passwords to choose from (as I doubt anyone from here will be stealing my phone) It would just make me feel better to have the added security.
This would be nice to have, but also just to give you something to think about, what if you forget that password? maybe they should also implement a master password as well, incase of lost or forgotten paswords.
Lost Password = Enter Master password.
which makes it harder to factory reset, but not impossible if forgotten password

I like the idea about having a password but I don't agree with having preset passwords because all the perp has to do is go on here and find them out. Lol.

Thanks, i had a phone that let me set two passwords before, incase i forgot one, i for sure knew the other one.
preset passwords is a bad idea and so is a master password. i guarantee you that if the person found a G1 or stole it they would run a google search and find XDA. xda is the #1 source for all HTC phones, i found an 8525 and when i needed to learn anything about that i got on google and searched for stuff. 9/10 times this site was the first result. i would think if we were to implement this then we would have to have a walkthrough for people to build their own recovery image and set their own password. this would be a little difficult but it seems to be the only way to do this.

I see your point, but i think i didnt explain myself correctly, the master password can be set by you (the enduser), sorry i misslead you guys.

I suppose that is the only way to go! I hope a Dev can help us out with this!
The problems I can see are that the recovery environment has no place to store files, it's read only. You'd have to build an image with the password hardcoded somewhere. The other issue is that if you have rooted your phone, you probably have installed an SPL that has fastboot, so getting into your device would be trivial.

I understand but when you say "trivial" I assume you are referring to someone who has and idea of how to Hack the phone, But I assume that the person who steals it is not going to have the smarts to do all that without me first being able to track my phone. I just want alittle extra security.
The other part, the "Hardcoding" I do not really understand, I assume it means built in?
He means the password (or possible passwords) would have to be coded into the recovery.img that is on your phone. Meaning, either you would have to assemble it yourself, or the developers would set the password (or passwords, if given a choice) for you. Which would also mean that anyone would be able to search on here (or other sites) and find the possible choices for passwords for a given recovery image. Thus... security... fail..

You *could* store it on the data partition, I guess. Would just have to mount it to check for a password file.
put pwd in the recovery partition is better~
we can have a defalut password then we can change it in recovery mode
with google latitude it will be awesome~~~
So... Cyanogen I think I hear donations coming your way for this one... haha jk
That is if your willing to try, Im not assuming you are going to.
But your recovery would be the one I would want it to be on.
i would donate on that
Can you use fastboot to actually get data from the device? I thought it's only there to flash images. I mainly am for the password in recovery to prevent someone from dumping my data to an SD card.
Sorry, as you can see, its my first post and i dont exactly know where to put, but i want to share,because i spend hours of searching the net and my device.
I had the problem, that i forgot the password for the googlemail-account linked to the market and found no solution to change it. So i searched a little bit and found a fast solution which was working for me.
So i just took the /data/system/accounts.db file, opened it by using SQLite Database Browser and changed the address to the new one and deleted the stored password. After reboot and accessing the market, i was asked for the password, entered the new one and voila, all was fine.
Sorry, if its the wrong forum.
btw, my device is a rooted desire, with "Official_FroYo_Market_fixed" ROM
Interesting!
Is it also possible to change a google account without resetting whole device?
Yes it is possible.
It was my aim to change it without resetting the device and this is the solution. No need to reset anything.

download the free Super Manager from the market, give it root , keep moving up folders to root, go to /data/system/ and just delete accounts.db it is quicker to just reenter the account info , by the time you go through all the steps to edit that file and the know what to change your finished entering the account info, I just had to do this I put my wifes account on my phone, tried everyway to remove her which a search landed me here, I downloaded Sq but just to much to do so I found super manager while searching the market for help
Thanks for the hint! Deleting the accounts.db worked very well for me.
Great share, thank you!
Another aspect is the mail associated with a purchase. Currently I can change the email for my vendor account, but it isn't possible to shift the purchase profile to another email account as far as I know.
If anybody got an idea/solution to that, it would be more than appreciated.
guys,
I need help, I read above method of reset market logon, so I deleted account.db with rootexplorer. Then I start market again, it ask me signon. This is working, remove my wife logon information.
Then I put in detail id and password, but I am getting network error, my phone on 3G network, my browser able to visit any web page. But the market apps just not connecting. What did I do want ?
thanks
James
this worked for market, but unfortunately not for google talk.

1They most likely reg your IMEI and blocked your phone that way. Only option would be to get a different device.

That IMEI its like id number for ur phone? Correct me if im wrong
So is it possible to hide my IMEI?
Or with an app like permission denied?
Oh and ty for u fast reply
It may not be an option. If they reg by imei and you block it then it won't load most likely. I would find out why it is blocked

Hello! I've looked for a week for an answer to this question : how to be seen as a different device?
Basically, I need to be seen as a different/new device so I can get limited bonuses on a game that is using referral links to do so.
So far I've tried :
-xprivacy
-Android ID Changer
-Andy and Bluestacks
-Factory Reset an old device
-MAC spoofing
-Flash a new rom
And none worked. I don't know what to do to be seen as a completely different device. Is there a way to "VERY HARD RESET" (LOL) or something similar to an Android simulator/emulator?
Needless to say that I'm rooted.
I'd appreciate any help! Thank you very much.
Have a nice day/evening!
No. These games use your IMEI to tell what device and those can't be legally changed.
Shouldn't it be possible on a rooted device to alter whatever api is used to retrieve the imei number so that you can spoof it to enquiring apps? That shouldn't be illegal as you're not actually changing it.

It is because then it is sending out an improper IMEI which breaks the cloning laws. Also as it controls everything from the IMEI it could also cause you to lose all signal.
Thanks for the reply. I didn't know they used IMEI number.
But what about wifi only device such as some Android tablets? They don't come with an IMEI number as far as I know, so do they use the serial number instead? I'm asking because I managed to get one bonus from my tablet and I'm wondering how they could identify this device without the IMEI.

In cases of tablets then they might use the serial number that is hard coded into the system.

I'll try that. Thank you.
But is changing the iSerial in sys/class/android_usb/android0/ possible and effective? Or is there another way to do it?
One day i was just opening my tablet and saw that my fingerprint got vanished and its asking me the alternative passwords. I remembered the one on the owner account and opened it and then I changed it to swipe and back to fingerprint... My account was alright then.. it had the fingerprint back in not time. BUT the standard user.. the other one.. i dont remember its password. Ive tried so many, those which i just thought of but did not put them ever in anything.. but it was no use.. if there is one password left, ITS THE ONE BUT I DONT REMEMBER IT.. that account has the most data in it so i cant afford to loose any data.. i wanted to know that if there is some way of removing passwords from the whole Android Device? Or Changing Passwords? Or Administrators for changing the passwords... anything i just want it back... another thing is that after the 5 unsuccessful tries.. it does not say unlock via google maybe because it is standard user... Please tell me how to do it Step-by-Step... please... ull be a lifesaver!
READ ALL OF IT PLEASE.. MAIN THING IN THE END. STEP BY STEP WORK NEEDED... SERIOUS PROBLEM.. MAY SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTO!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. There is a reason you use passwords and that's if someone doesn't know the password they can't get to the data. The only way to reset the password is to wipe the device and lose data. There is a dedicated forum for your device here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s They are the experts on your device and the best place to get your questions answered.
