Help - Forgot Password Oneplus 6

Hi, I just had a really stupid evening where I forgot the password (not pin/pattern) for my screen unlock.
I know this is really stupid of me. I just recklessly update my password for making work profile, and I forget them.
I'm using Oneplus 6, and just now I have utilised "secure device" or lock feature in Android Device Manager. Based on my reading in the internet, I expect Android Device Manager to prompt a temporary password so I can unlock my device immediately, unfortunately that didn't happen and I still asked for the device password.
I really hope I didn't need to factory reset since I have a very important file on my device. Is there any alternative solution to unlock my device?
Thank you in advance for anyone reading this, I really appreciate any suggestion.

I think no, there's no other solution to wipe up everything, but you need to do in fastboot mode because you can't enter recovery without input correct password... Wait for some other to respond, just in case

if your phone is unlocked, you could delete the password from twrp or adb

It is really bad to disable the option by the google. Today, even I have forgot my screen pattern and I am stuck here for hours. I tried reaching Google and OnePlus and got to know that I do not have option apart from resetting my device.

if you have twrp recovery here a solution:

Hi Toni, Thank you for the prompt response. It is possible only when someone already installed TWRP screen and unlocked the bootloader. However mine is not and If unlock this then my Office apps(not Microsoft) do not work because of device not encrypted. So I do not have an option to insall the TWRP.
Anyway I ended up wiping the device and restoring applications and some of them came from different sources which were not traceable.
Thanks for providing the link.

Root & Security Questions

Hi there,
I recently lost my phone outside with GPS disabled, only got it back through 110% luck
and this got me thinking about the device security.
For some time now I can call myself a owner of a OnePlus 6 phone,
in the beginning I was really convinced of the brand and phone but over the time some questions accured.
at the moment im running OOS v9.0.3 with
bootloader unlocked,
Magisk v18 and
Bluspark Twrp v9.85v2
passing dm & SafetyNet
(phone is encrypted as by default)
Now here are my questions I couldnt find a clear answer to:
1. Using a flash or the factory unbrick tool, how easy is it for a potential thief to wipe/reset an encrypted device (with locked bootloader) to keep using it/sell it?
2. is it possible and or safe to relock the bootloader with the phone still rooted (Magisk etc)?
2.1 if thats possible, is there a way to unlock the bootloader again (using root) without wiping the phone?
3. has the possibility to "fastboot boot" an image on an encrypted phone with locked bootloader(to access the phone) been fixed?
4. is there a way to disable the lockscreen quick settings in general or certain ones like flight,gps,data and wifi; without removing them from the quick settings?
5. is there a way to dsiable the lockscreen power menu (when holding the button for 3 secs)?
6. is there a way to disable powering off the phone by holding the power key for 10 seconds in general or e.g. when the screen is locked?
7. is there a way to remotely/programmatically enable gps on the device?
8. if I start messing wit the kernel and should f**k up badly, could the factory unbrick tool still fix it?
9. Could one or more of the previous things be achieved by an App(with root access) or by modifying the kernel? I do have quite some programming knowledge, sadly not with phones/android/linux yet - but Im willing to get into it.
Thats it for now, thanks if you have read this far.
Since I dont know that much about this topic in detail I would appreciate any help, information or correction of myself.

1) Very easy. Only Google's welcome screen would ask to log in with the old account after a clean flash.
2) You can, but you shouldn't. Afaik it will say the device is compromised and display a red warning instead of the yellow one and won't boot.
3) No.
4) Use Cerberus Anti-Theft. That has it and a fake shutdown to make thieves think your device is off. Only a hard reset will make it turn on again but that's how you can track it if stolen.
5) Cerberus Anti-Theft again.
6) That's a hardware safety failure. So none that I know.
7) and 8) got lost lol
9) Cerberus Anti-Theft does that. Otherwise no.
10) Yes, fastboot boot would still work though I guess. At least on the other partition (A or B).
11) I'm not working for them but I recommend Cerberus again

Seems like counting to 10 is pretty hard lol
I think its pretty sad that relocking the bootloader isnt possible (heard it was on the Nexus4 I believe?) but I guess the "boot"-issue makes that obsolete anyways \:
I just hope that companys will continue to strive for best customizability while improving on security details like these...
so whats left is to have faith in humanity I guess ^^
Anyways, thanks for the quick reply and happy new year I guess
P.S. gonna check out that Cerberus you talked about

Cerberus is one of the best antitheft apps out there.
Had bought it and used it for more than 4-5 years, although never really needed it under emergency.

Install CWM over stock recovery

My friend has a J4+ for which he forgot Pattern lock. its on latest pie update - J415FXXU2BDSP
His USB debugging is off, OEM unlock is off.
Now, he wants to unlock the phone, but doesnt want to lose data because he has some sensitive data which would help in his divorce case.
I thought of using recovery to delete the gesture.key file, but his recovery is stock.
So, need to install custom recovery first.
Tried to install TWRP from Odin, but failed because of FRP lock.
Tried Aroma installer from SD card, but it says signature verification failed.
Any way I can get custom recovery installed on his phone?
I know CWM would work, but couldnt find it anywhere for this particular model (i believe CWM is very old now).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Nobody forgets a pattern lock if you regularly use the device.
Even then mine is the same for all devices, so even if I hadn't used a particular device for a good while I'd still know it.
Some one elses device by any chance?

Good thing you don't manage devices at a big company then...
Some people manage to forget passwords after 4 hours of work. :silly:

Unlock Bootloader on locked phone

Hi all,
I've been trying to access data on my phone since one day it would not recognise the screen pattern anymore and I don't want to lose my data by wiping it.
Sadly, everything on the phone is locked: lockscreen, bootloader and usb debugging. It also doesn't have a custom recovery.
I have tried booting twrp and orangefox, but it was not possible because of the locked bootloader.
Does anybody have an idea what I can do; either a different way to get my data back, or another way to unlock bootloader?
thanks!

Thank you, sadly none of these work since most of them need me to boot into recovery mode - on op6 the recovery is also secured by the pattern I couldn't wait anymore and wiped the phone by now.

Getting bootloader unlocked there is no other way than formatting data which deletes all files in internal storage. And it also needs USB debugging enabled and proper driver installed in the computer. Upon reading your situation it seems that you device is not working properly. Only think I can suggest is to use MSM tool to revert back your device as like what it is when you first bought it. But then it will format your internal storage.

Question BYPASSING DISK ENCRYPTION [SM-A125F]

Hello everyone,
So I've been off the fourms for quite some time, woun't go in detail about that. And as some might know I've broke my LCD touch screen. I got a replacement and replaced it with no isuess, works perfectly.
But...
I forgot the gesutre key I set on this phone because I haven't used it for months, and used my other A217F for the replacement.
I haven't been doing anything related to android so I forgot quite the stuff I use to know. My question is how can I bypass the disk encryption and pull the GESTURE.KEY from USERDATA. It OEM unlocked, rooted via magisk, and runs TWRP custom recovery. This is quite the older version of TWRP. I can flash it to the new one but the SYSTEM root is still under encryption. Idk if maybe I can dissasemble it from the SCATTAR, or pulling it via ADB (wich probably woun't work). I also want to help others who want to achive this so that's also one of the points for this thread. I'll list some of the info of this phone:
SM-A125F
BUF9 firmware SW_REV 1
Patched BOOT and VBMETA images via magisk
Custom recovery (TWRP)
Fixed IMEI and BASEBAND
Thanks,
Krypton

You can't bypass encryption.That's the point of it.To make sure the data is unreadable without the right key.If there was a way to read encrypted data without the key then it would be pointless

Yea Ik the point is it can still be forceivly disabled via running unsinged firmware. It's OEM unlocked, I should have every ability possible.
