Good day,
I'm in desperate need of help. My son was killed in hit and run a few weeks ago. He had a LG C800, also known as the T-Mobile USA MyTouch LG-C800. I'm trying to get access the phone but I can't get pass the locked screen to retrieve any data off the phone. The phone is damaged but it still works. (I'm able to put in numbers and etc) Is there a way by pass lock screen without whipping out the phone data. There is information on the SD card. But I'm look I would like to see who he was talking to at time of the death or ealier. There is a Google Account set up which I can access, but I don't see this option after trying to access the phone.
I have installed Screen Lock Bypass Pro (By THOMAS CANNON). This didnt work I'm not sure if its even installed (Play store claims it is)
Thanks for help in advance

I recently purchased an s6 (1 month) and used the fingerprint scanner to secure the device. I made a backup password and made sure it worked and all was well until one day when it all of a sudden stopped working. Normally I leave Wifi on and could solve this issue but as to save battery I had disabled it this time around, silly me. So the fingerprint scanner denied my entry, led me to the backup password which also failed (even though it was correct) and then Wifi was off so Google verification did not work.
Being a new phone, I did not get a chance to turn on USB debugging (this happened 1 week after purchase) so using ADB to turn on wifi was of no use, it did not recognize the device.
Here is what I have tried to do to recover the data up till now:
>I used ODIN to install TWRP on the device.
>With TWRP enabled I made a backup of the data and attempted to connect to adb once again, Using my sisters Galaxy S6 I tested out whether hers worked, just to make sure everything was fine with the drivers and to make sure adb devices recognized her phone: it did.
>I ran ADB devices while in TWRP and it recognized my device, but came back OFFLINE, meaning no commands were able to run.
>I then attempted to run a series of drivers and to access files directly from windows 7 and did not have access permissions to read nor write, thus unsuccessful.
>I went back to ODIN and sought out a stock rom to flash to the partition in order to get access to the backup data i had created using TWRP, as there seems to be methods to flash a rom and maintain the backup data.
> With ODIN i tried this, but was unsuccessful, as it got stuck on "Nand Write start" and would not initialize any transfer with the phone . ( The download mode would not start the progress bar)
>Finally i tried to do it with TWRP but because i have no write permissions, i cannot put anything onto the device for it to run.
I called Samsung about this and they know of the issue and refuse to help me other than a useless factory reset. They knowingly allow users to continue using their fingerprint option for security but do not give warning of its issue, nor do they provide a simple fix like allowing wifi to be turned on from the lock screen. It is a shame that a company like this just allows a known software bug to bother users but doesn't make them aware of it, nor provides a temporary fix while they work on fixing the issue.
I am stuck, and need your help, I have done everything I can think of but can't get anywhere, please help me retrieve my data. Thanks
Wifi is off but how about 4G/LTE data?
If your 4g lte data is working you can use findmymobile(samsung site) and unlock it from there. There's an option to unlock your phone. I came across this issue last month.

Yeah LTE is also off, otherwise google login would have worked.
I can access the WiFi toggle from the lockscreen without having unlocked the phone via FP - although I'm not locked out the phone so wondering if being locked out stops you gaining access to the notification drawer as well

Via FP? well I can indeed access the notification drawer (from the top, right?) but when i enable wifi it asks me to login using the fingerprint.

FP - Finger Print
i have the same problem what to do now i dont want to lose data and my s6 edge is not recognising my fingerprint rather asking for a backup password and i forgot the backup password so the wifi or mobile data is switched off and i cant even turn it on what to do now?????
I have the same problem...agree completely "They knowingly allow users to continue using their fingerprint option for security but do not give warning of its issue, nor do they provide a simple fix like allowing wifi to be turned on from the lock screen. It is a shame that a company like this just allows a known software bug to bother users but doesn't make them aware of it, nor provides a temporary fix while they work on fixing the issue."
factory reset is "the only way" to unlock it. Lazy samsung customer service response.
logging in via google is not an option on S6 / new android system anymore so if you forget your pin you're stuffed
this is really poor on samsung behalf to not give warning of the seriousness of using a fingerprint scanner
ha I can't remember (and can't check now) but does it even ask for the pin twice to verify what you entered what was intended?
google use to have a device pin reset but it was removed recently.
I bet heaps of people have this issue.
I am desperate for a solution...
I just registered to help future users having the same problem.
Guys I spent around 15 hours trying to unlock my samsung galaxy s6, and found a solution. You're wellcome because you need google acc+dont need a connection for this to work (worst case scenario).
It didnt recongnize my fingerprints, and my backup password didnt work. I couldnt sign in to my google account since my wifi and mobile data was turned off before the device locked.
This is the solution i found AFTER 15 hours of this madness, you need to be quick:
1) enter wrong backup password 5 times
2) wait 30 secounds countdown
3) enter wrong backup password 5 times
4) wait 30 secounds countdown
5) select sign in with google account
6) enter google account credentials (DONT SIGN IN YET)
7) hold 'wake up button' (home button)
8) press emergency mode and go thru with aggreeing to all it asks you to
9) press TURN ON, and after that press 'sign in' with your google account (where step 6 left off)
If you were quick enough, you will enter emergency mode and you will pass the lock screen, now quit the emergency mode the same way and change your backup password, and write it down this time so this doesnt happen again. You are wellcome.
Thank you, that happened on 4th try, "quick enough" is the key. It appears that it turns on WiFi and mobile data for fraction of a second during the process.
yeah i seen that for a fraction of seconds wifi turns on but how should i unlock i am not done please please help me i dont want to lose my imp data
THANK YOU!!!

Created an account just so I can thank you :laugh: You've made my night; am so happy and stress-free now!
So, the thing is that I was trying to recover an voice note I've deleted and I runed a windows program to do so. When the program started working on the recovery it restarted my phone to do the last step. When my phone restarted I got a weird message on a black screen "To strat up your device enter your password". I have the fingerprint and the pattern set as my default unlock ways so I don't know to which "Password" is this message reffering to. I've read that it maight be reffering to my google account password but I've tried that and nothing. I also read about it has something to do with google ADM protecting my phone but I couldn't find any way to restore that password from the google Adroid Device Manager panel on PC. I'm very desperate about this, I just want to know what is the password this thing is asking me. Or I just want to backup all my data to do a factory reset then. The thing is that the phone is on that lock screen, it isn't even started up so I can't do anything. Is not conected to wifi, nothing!!! it is just stuck there. If you know which password is this asking me that would help or if you know how can I do a backup with the phone locked up, that could help me out too.. Thanks!
I have a Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime
Hey guys, so I work for an IT company that buys and sells ex gov, ex school etc stuff in bulk and resells to whoever, at the moment we have 9 of these things and they are all locked with a number password, we have tried to contact the people we got them from but as so often happens, they haven't been helpful in providing the pin, usually we would give up and throw em out but these things aren't cheap, so as the head tech, one of my superiors offered me one of them to keep/sell myself if I can figure out how to unlock them.
So backstory aside, the easy solution is boot into recovery and wipe, but these things (which ive personally never seen before) have a password in the recovery menu, requiring you to enter a password before it will actually wipe.
What is my best option to unlock/wipe these things? annoyingly the "master reset" codes etc that Panasonic have are not usable cus the dialer cant be accessed from the lock screen, my thought was adb but its been a while since ive messed with that and could do with some guidance on it.
I promise you these are not stolen, we just really dont want to lose a large chunk of change on these.
Thanks guys!
edit: so updates, usb debugging isnt on so ADB cant be done, nothing detects, recovery simply has wipe or reboot, wipe involving a password to be entered before itll wipe, its running android 5 so with some messing around im able to bypass the lockscreen and let the dialer show up and be used, by calling an emergency number and quickly hanging up while frantically clicking back and or home button, I can get it to (while in a semi locked state still) launch the home menu thats set up, annoyingly this is some organisations software and exiting it to the actual home screen requires a password again..this time a text password so forget basic guessing, and thats basically where im at, from here launching any of the tools or chrome etc will take you back to the lock screen, if I can somehow get chrome to launch, I could enter settings from there and wipe, but so far cant seem to without it going back to the lock screen and starting all over again.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!
Hi,
I have the same problem! But this thing is brand new!!
I purchased a Panasonic toughpad Fz-x1 a couple of days ago and the first thing I did was to do an update on it which went well and the version of android on it is 4.2.2. I checked the Panasonic website to see if there was an update to 5.1.1 and there was. So I downloaded the file to my sd card and done the update, but now I am stuck with the dreaded dead android red exclamation. There is a menu of two lines, 1: Reboot system now and 2: Wipe data/ factory reset.
When you do a wipe data/ factory reset the next screen is to delete all user data and say yes to that. But now it wants a password that is numeric and I have no idea what that is as I haven't set up any security on it yet. I am hoping someone here can help me with this problem. Thanks
I am getting in touch with Panasonic and when I receive a reply from them I will pass it on here.
i need the same, my japan fz-x1 have a password in this function
Hello, I recently found an LG Stylo 3 in one of my drawers that has a knock code on it. I don't remember the code and I already tried 66 times to unlock it (it now takes 240 seconds between each attempt). No "Forgot Password" or backup pin option shows up, USB Debugging is on but it's unauthorized, and the mode that it's on when I connect the phone to my PC is Charging Only. I just want to know what pictures I have saved on it, or if I can pull out my photos or something. I can't reboot into bootloader from the recovery options, it just reboots my phone. I'm able to go into recovery, and safemode, update from adb puts it into sideload mode, and it's connected to my wifi but because I changed my passwords on my google accounts already, the phone doesn't show up in any of my google device manager accounts.
Everything is stock, no custom recovery or firmware and it's not rooted.
What can I do now? Is there a way to reset my password or bypass it entirely? I don't care how technical it is, if given a good guide I can do it. I can't find anything to help me, hopefully someone can help my problem here.
Before anything, I didn't steal the phone, it's my old phone I had when on Virgin Mobile, I can give as much proof as I can to show that it is my phone if needed. I just don't remember the knock code
Thanks!
