So i downloaded ViperBoy's app (SIM Unlock Helper) in a try to unlock my HTC One M8, but by mistake I pressed on the lock option and it forced a Screenlock password that I am not able to figure out what is it. I tried Factory reset and even a clean wipe, but as soon as you reinstall the ROM, it will ask for the password.
Can you help me out by letting me what the password is, or how can I get a rid of it? I tried contacting viperBoy to ask for the password, I even offered him a Paypal Donation for the service but he wouldn't reply to my messages.
Please help!

Hi guys, i hope you can help me out here.
a Friend of mine is a taxi driver and had a guest who forgot his money and paid with his Moto G 2015 8GB.
As a friend of good deals, my friend now wants his father to use this Smartphone since it offers enough for his needs.
I already set it up from the scratch, but google now wants me to login with the first account data from the previous owner, which im afraid-, we wont be able to obtain any more.
Id install Cyanogenmod without Gapps to ignore the Google Questioning, but i need to check the "Oem bootloader unlock" option, which i cant, cause i cant setup the smartphone any more.
I hope anyone of you can help me? The Phone it not stolen, so as far as it is possible, please help me!

Goto stock recovery and using vol.down+power key u will be in fast boot mode using vol down chose recovery mode and press power key to enter into stock recovery. If u see a dead android just press power key first and holding it press vol. Up then just scroll down to factory data reset and now every g account will remove. Now set it up
A factory reset will probably not help. Moto G implements the new Factory Reset Protection feature which Google did introduce with Android 5.1. This check for the password of the last Google account registered on the device will survive a factory reset.
To my knowledge there is a way to circumvent the Factory Reset Protection on some Samsung devices due to a faulty implementation by Samsung (this was in the news a few days ago).
But this will probably not help with the Moto G.
Just reflash the stock firmware and you will be good I hope
You can't do anything with stock firmware, you can't unlock bootloader. The new system protection is exactly for that purpose. If your reflash the firmware via fastboot, at first boot prompts you to login with any google account used before in the phone.
The only way to revert the locked status is login with google asociated account and wipe from the settings menu once the phone has been unlocked.
i tried the stock firmware reflash as well.
you so are telling me there is no way to get a working firmware on this phone without going actualy in the developer options and activate bootloader thingie?
i mean google did a good job on that part. Still sucks though, but thanks for the answer

Yes, you have no option. To unlock bootloader you need to turn on the oem unlock permission in settings and actually you can't enter in that setting.

When you reflash the stock firmware via fastboot it clear all data & cache. When boots with clean system it prompts again to activate the phone.
For one side is nice to see that this works... Too bad for you... I guess you already googled it right?

If they had a pin set you'll need that pin.
Did you try all zeros or 123456?
Sadly nothing else can be done without it.

From my understanding only way is email or call mcaffe
Hi, i'm new in the forum and i want to ask for advice.
Well... in all the threads it says that i need to unlock the bootloader before doing anything else, but that is the problem, i can't. I can flash the unlock code with the console but the phone don't show the notification about the bootloader unlock.
Can't do factory reset and can't enter recovery.
Hope you can help me guys.

Hi I know this is an android forum but I can't find the solution so I had no option other than posting here sorry but please help
So, I found this old device from my cupboard it is not locked. I want to lock it but I forgot the password. Whenever I go into settings>security it asks for my old password to lock my device. No matter how many times I try but there is no option of forgot password
Is there any way to solve this problem
Thanks in advance
Regards milkyway3
Okay so I got this Honor 6x running on Nougat BLN-L22 (Indian version) and I forgot my PIN. Now I looked up on youtube and found a few videos where you can recover/reset your password using google account circumventing the hard reset option.
But it turns out that my lock screen doesn't have any such option.
Can someone please help? Is this bug or something?

Because it ask for a new setup with email account, fp, pin etc aftwr reset.
Rommco05 said:
Ok so phone after reset don't remember fp, pin etc... if somebody steall your phone can easily make factory reset... I think for this is FRP lock, because if u put another sim to phone and another email adress, phone/google remember which email was before on phone and will send you sms or email with verification code on adress which was on phone before

Havent tested with any other email or sim so may be if I insert a new one, it may ask for FP or PIN.
