would unlocking the bootloader ( which wipes the device) do it ?
Did you try contacting Motorola?
I read that the stock recovery is messed up. If you want to factory reset then chose the option above, ie the text you see in the menu does not align with the actual option that will be chosen.

thanks for reply guys,
I dont want to unlock the bootloader as it voids the warranty.
I contacted Motorola, but no reply.
Is there any other way to factory reset this device?
BTW Happy New Year to all
Did you read my post just above yours? You use the stock recovery, just highlight the option ABOVE the option you actually want within the recovery.
cheers mate!

GO on google android/devicemanager
with u gmail account
click lock enter new password (must be letter and number) your phone lock again but now ask for password you provided to account
done.
Do you need Android Device Manager on the phone itself to work?
Sorry for this n00bie question, but is there any way how to temporarily disable the Recovery?
Cause anyone can access the recovery from boot and can reset your phone and everything..
So in case that your phone was stolen, they can just reset your phone (if they knew) when they don't know your lock screen password or whatever...

There were some attemps for pin protecting the recovery BUT there is NO way at all as on nearly every phone you can easily replace the recovery using a computer. IF you wan't to secure your phone, please use the android encryption.

Okay, thanks for the answer
CASE CLOSED.
Please help, who may have already experienced and knows the answer to my problem.
I unlocked the bootloader, set TWRP, Rooted, made a change of location to L09.
Then I turn off the phone, and was about to flash his fullota 120.
But the phone in recovery does not enter. Sew three butons can not.
Change of recovery can not be done. Phone is not loaded. Photo attached.
The display shows: "Your device is booting now ..." and the phone will not boot.
Fastboot unlock, FRP lock.
Help please....
P.S. Maybe I should do Factory reset protection Erase through DC Unlocker?
Thanks, to 4pda. Problem solved.

What you did to solve the problem?
Just restart or some other thing?
I have acquired a Panasonic ToughBook as part of a business deal. When the unit is switched on it says "To Start Android, enter your password". I don't have any access to passwords, PINs or Patterns.
I tried to perform a factory reset using Power + Volume Up. I get the Android Recovery menu and I select wipe data/factory reset, it then asks me to confirm, I select yes, and then I am asked for a password again. Usually, I can just reset an Android without a password from here.
Any suggestions on how to bypass the Boot Up password or the Factory Reset password would be appreciated.
TIA

So simple, worked a treat. Thank you!
I have same issue with Panasonic FZ-N1. Asking for password for factory reset.
The link provided above does not open for me.
Can you provide new link or information how to bypass password.

Hello, I would be glad to know the solution for the factory reset password on the Panasonic FZ-N1.
My Redmi Note 8 suddenly stopped accepting my correct pattern lock, so I was forced to reset. It turns out I had Google Backup enabled, which was a happy surprise. However, it asks me for the previous pattern lock of the phone, which it still won't accept. This is incredibly frustrating.
Is there anything I can do to get access to the backup file or be able to use it? Will it get deleted if I don't restore it right now, in the initial setup?
Thank you.

Is this a second hand device? It seems that it is linked to another account.
If your device is unlocked, you are rooted and enabled previously USB debugging, you should pull your backup or some other partition.
The initial setup itself can't delete any data.
Interesting. If you did a factory reset with no internet connection would this thrwart it?
Be careful...
Never use bios, screen locks etc because this is what can happen. Ive gotten locked out of a bios before because of data corruption... with disastrous results. Had no lock been enabled nothing would have happen.
Data encryption for data hdds is an even worse idea... don't do it.

No, I had this phone for almost two years now and bought it new. Three weeks ago I tried to fingerprint unlock it with wet fingers and after several unsuccesful attempts it asked me for the pattern lock, which it didn't accept, even though I know the correct one. I've been trying to find a way to unlock it or make a backup ever since but found no solution, so I decided to reset.
After factory reset from recovery mode, it asked me if I wanted to restore a backup, and although I thought I probably didn't have one, I logged into the google account I used on the phone before the reset. Turns out I did have backup turned on! However, when I went to restore it, it asked me for the lock pattern at the time of the backup creation. Predictably enough, it didn't accept it, which is where I'm stuck now.

After factory reset, my device is indeed now unlocked. It is not rooted. I had USB Debugging enabled, but my laptop wasn't authorized, which is why in the end I couldn't unlock it or make a backup previously. I tried plugging it into the laptop in it's current state (waiting for the lock pattern to restore my backup) and tried adb, but it can't find my device at all. Previously, it just said unauthorized, so I suppose USB Debugging is now off.

Plugging it into the computer allowed me to use mtp mode and I took a quick look into the files. All of my files are gone, so I'm pretty sure everything got deleted before the setup stage.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Thwart what? I factory reset from recovery mode so I don't think internet connection had any role there, but I did have it on before. And I connected to the wifi before it asked me to log into google.

Where's the lock screen code being stored after the factory reset?
In the phone or cloud?
If in the userdata partition it should be wiped.

From what I understand, it was used to encrypt the Google backup file, so it will ask for it even if you try to restore it on another device. So I suppose the answer is cloud.

If you did factory reset device, then all is gone.
Regarding the status locked or not I referred to the bootloader, in case it is locked and the USB debugging is not already enabled then you have less chances to recover the device.
You should try flashing the device through EDL mode but old days (in my last RN8) it requires an authorized Mi account.

If you can factory reset it now FPR isn't active.
So when it first boots up after the reset if you can shield it from internet access you can disable Google backup Transport and Framework.
I think these are the backup pathways but you'll need to verify this.
If you need that backup data though it a catch 22. Perhaps if you keep the phone powered on until the backup is done and fully disable screen lock before rebooting... you can have your data without the lockout.
I may be mistaken. This is interesting but I'm very glad it's not my experiment!
