The security on my Note 4 is all jacked up. I've been using the same Screen Lock pattern for a long time. This morning it kept telling me it was wrong until I had to put in the lock password. I was successfully able to unlock my phone but when I try to settings > Lock Screen and change the screen lock, it won't accept the PIN that I used to previously. My questions are a.) what would make my pattern change like it did and, b.) how can I reset the PIN to secure my phone again?
Try to use this zip flash it through twrp , its will reset ur current pin / pass etc ok

Hi all
(SH-01D) I set pattern lock before and I've forgotten the pattern.
I set the pattern lock when I bought it. later I didn't use the pattern lock as well.
Now I want to have a factory reset. I find that I need to enter the pattern lock in order to have the factory reset. can anyone tell me is there any solution?
p.s. My phone doesn't have any lock now. Because of I've forgotten the pattern lock, I can't change the password as well............
many thanks

How to solve this problem C:
If you forgot you screen unlock pattern then you need to reset it.
Tap on the Forgot Password option and you would be prompted to sign in with the existing Google or Gmail account information. You need to provide the ID when you first register or activated your phone. If you have that, it would be easy to get in for you and then change the unlock pattern (atleast by now you would be remembering your unlock pattern).
If you don’t know the Gmail ID or the password is wrong then there is only one solution to hard reset your handset. The data present on the added SD card will not be wiped out but you would lose your personal data or information or contacts stored on your phone memory.
If you have adb installed and working
If you have adb working and can manipulate files on your phone, you can delete /data/system/password.key for the pin and password. For pattern, delete /data/system/gesturekey.
Once these files are removed, the phone will accept any pattern or password/pin.
Once you get in, be sure to reset your lock.

hello friends. pattern lock is a cool thing in android smartphone. but sometimes it becomes a big problem to us. if we draw wrong pattern several times then our devices gets locked. we need to unlock then using our gmail account. but the problem arises if we don't have enabled data network or added a Google account in our phone. so the only solution left is to hard reset our phones and loosing all the data. but now u can remove your pattern lock without loosing data. the only condition is that u must have a custom recovery installed on your device like clockworkmod recovery or TWRP recovery. i have made a flashable zip file to remove pattern lock or password lock. download the file from attachment and flash in recovery mode and enjoy. post reply if i helped you.
hi, i'm running the 5.0.0 version (i think) and i recently made a new pattern lock as a security measure. however i forgot the pattern. GG
after i got locked out, i installed android device manager from my pc to my phone. it says the install was successful, and i'm on the android device manager webpage to get a password lock sent to my phone, however the screen that displays the actual INPUTTING of the password doesn't appear ;(
i get the recovery message screen to display on my phone, but nowhere does it allow me to put in a password.
is my only option to factory reset it?
tldr; phone doesn't receive password lock - what can i do now
I have a US t mobile samsung galaxy note 3 n900t. I do apologize for making this long but I wanted to share what I have done in case it helps to solve the problem I am having. I do not remember what version was first on it but I rooted it using the method of chainfire cf auto root through odin. It was the first time I rooted so I am new to the root. Everything was good at that point. I made the mistake of deleting google play services in the attempt of debloating. I couldn't get google play store to work after that and I could find where I could redownload google play services. I ended up connecting to kies3 to do a restore in hopes it will replace it. Kies3 tells me that the lollipop 5.0 update was available so I ended up doing the update, now I have lollipop 5.0. I did the root process again The same way I did before in addition to adding the twrp recovery. The problem I am having now is that I am unable to set the screen lock with pin. When I try to set it up, I enter my 4 digit code, exit out of the settings and then try to see if it works but it doesn't. When I press the power button expecting to put my pin in, no pin pad shows up, I swipe then I am in my phone. When I try to set the screen lock with pin again, I enter my 4 digit code, try again and the same result. Screen lock will not activate. Another thing I noticed is after several tries to set it up, it tells me the pin I enter is wrong, I know I am entering it right. I then log into google and do a reset pin on my device from there. I have searched for a solution but I keep finding ways to bypass lock screen, I want to activate it with my 4 digit pin. I don't know what else to do. Thank you for your help!
Hello, thank you for using XDA Assist.
I bet the problem is with your google play services, so i suggest either find a Gapps package that works with the ROM you're using and flash that, or go HERE and ask for help there.
Good luck!
Hi!
I have a very frustrating problem with the backup password on my galaxy note 4.
The fingerprint scanner is no longer accepting any of my fingerprints, but I can unlock the phone using my backup password.
However, the same backup password is not accepted for turning off the fingerprint lock, or resetting it/configuring new fingerprints.
Ive tried very carefully entering every letter/number, the password just doesnt work after the initial screen lock.
This means every time I want to use my phone I have to manually enter a 16-character password.
Any ideas?
