Unlock S6 which i forget password after reboot but keep my image & video - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, is there a way to unlock my phone as it had no battery once and when it on, i asked for a password and i literally forgot what it is.. usually i use fingerprint for phone lock and unlock but i never off my phone before.. few days ago i forgot to charge and the battery went flat.. when i on the phone it asked for a password which i forget....
I know that there is a way to reset the phone but there is also some important image and videos which i need to keep.. when i plug in to pc it can recognize it but it would not show the things inside the phone as i need to unlock my phone to do it 1st :/

[Q] Cracked screen, can't get past lock. How can I retrieve data from the phone?

Accidentally dropped my phone the other day, screen is cracked and now I can't unlock the phone because of the pattern lock. Now, when I plug my phone to the PC nothing happens because the phone must be set to allow the PC to read the contents.. but since I can't unlock the phone to change that setting, I can't do anything atm. All data is in the internal memory of the phone, so no sdcard. (I regret I had it this way)
Is there maybe a software that can do this?
Phone is ZTE Max aka Boost Max.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you can connect a otg cable and mouse to your phone and use the mose to draw your unlock pattern.
I'll try here because this came up in a search.
I dropped my LG G2 and cracked the screen so that I only have a very small area where I can get some reaction. Not enough to swipe over the screen to unlock it. I keep getting the LG notification that my screen is damaged and offering to allow me to control it through the hardware keys, but it won't accept those commands either. And now, when I plug it in to try to get my data off the phone, it's stuck on charge only, so I can't transfer anything.
Any ideas? All I really want are a few pictures from this past weekend. Everything else is backed up in DropBox.
I don't know what an OTG cable is and I don't think that I even have a mouse anymore.
Thanks.

Dont Know Phone Pin? Help to reset phone?

Hi, a family member passed away a few months ago and I was given her phone by her sister to use if I wanted. She had the phone and charger, and thats it. I stay in the UK and the phone I use is on O2. The phone she had was the Experian L but she had her phone through a contract with virgin media.
When I initally put my sim card in and turned the phone on it said 'virgin media, this phone has been reported lost/stolen'. In order to unclock it from this security lock I needed her insurance company(through virgin) to provide me with a 4 digit pin to unlock the phone. This was very hard to get as the insurance people are different from virgin media, but after a while they agreed to give me the code if I sent a copy of her death certificate in. I did this and got the code thankfully. I was told that I wouldnt be able to use my o2 simc ard in the phone because the handset was locked on Virgin. I was told if I paid £15 I would receive the unlocking code through the post in a week or so.
I did this and got a letter through the door with the instruction on for to unlock the handset. Basically its a 16digit number that I enter and the phone become unlocked. However, after all this Ive just realised I think there is a phone lock on the phone i.e. a pin she must have set herself? I think this because when I power the phone up without a sim, all I can see is the date/time, with her name underneath, and also underneath that is a keypad. When you press any button on the keypad and hit enter it says wrong pin? That happens without a sim card so I presume it is a phone pin lock she had on her phone is that correct? If so, is there any way around this? Ideally I would like to keep whatever pictures etc are on the phone however I realise that might not be possible. Ive tried to download the sony suite however it wont allow me to use the suite because it tells me on the computer I must enter the pin on the phone to continue! bit of a nightmare to be honest.
Any help/suggestions with what I can do? Many thanks
I cant unlock through Pc Companion because Pc Companion needs the screen to be unlocked before it connects the device, and I cant do that.
factory reset
Hello, do a factory reset to the Phone, but you will loose all the information on it

Bypassing Pattern Lock Without Data-wipe

So my friend put a pattern lock on my 1st gen moto g(xt-1033)(non-root) and by the time I came to realize what happened and asked him the pattern, he had forgotten the pattern crying:). We have tried several patterns but I am still locked out. I am not sure if debugging was on or not and it's not detected by any pc for some reason (I guess you have to unlock it first for the pc to detect it).
I really can't afford to do a factory reset. I need the data.
Can any dev or anyone help me unlock my phone without losing any data?
I'd really really appreciate any kind of help.
TIA.

HTC U11 : Your phone is encrypted message

Hi,
For some weird reason when i turned my HTC U11 on this time they show this message before start up:
Your phone is encrypted.
To ecrypt your phone, enter your lock spattern.
30 attempts reamin before device data is deleted.
No matter how many times i enter the right pattern it wouldn't accept it. I has just set the lock screen a couple of minutes before the phone got turned off. So when I check my phone on the linked google account it still says no lock pattern detected.
Now I am down to only 3 attempts and I do not want to lose my device data! Please help!!
Even USB Connection not working
I tried connecting the phone to my PC as well, but the device doesnt show up. Probably because the phone is not completely turned on yet ( i cant access anything on my phone

Is my phone hopelessly locked or there's still second chance? (Forgot pattern, USB debugging on but not OEM unlock so can't flash)

So basically I have a Stock Sony Xperia Z3 Docomo variant (if I recall correctly it was D6653) that I used all the way from 2017, until I had to let it rest in 2020 because the screen was broken (although at that time before the screen went completely messed up, I managed to enable USB debugging in order to mirror the screen on my laptop with scrcpy so I can use it). It's just laying down on my desk cabinet for two years. Until finally I got a chance to replace the screen, the battery and the back cover earlier this weekend. Problem is, I already forgot the pattern to unlock it. Not even my brother (who used it sometimes to game back then) remember the pattern. Worse part is some of the SIM card, even when it does have data plan (I just simply put the SIM from my other phone), the phone is just going to show as full bar Roaming (R) and no internet at all so this phone completely have no network (although I do also have suspicion that data connection is probably disabled), and obviously that means I can't use google account to unlock it
Wanted to use TWRP or Aroma File Manager to delete the pattern lock file, but then I realized I have to flash this thing, and even if I do now understand how to install TWRP on my Z3 model because I already read various tutorial on this forum since Saturday, the problem is that OEM unlock isn't even enabled simply because at the time it was still a bit functional, I don't see it as something I need as I don't root any phone that I use. And as additional note, as time goes on obviously all of the laptop at home had gone many clean reinstall, which means no ADB key backup, and I can't authorize because pattern lock
Is there hope left, or this phone is completely locked?
(TLDR: Phone locked because I forgot lock pattern, no Internet, data stuck at R, no connection so I can't recover with google account, USB Debugging on but not OEM unlock)
