Hi I know this is an android forum but I can't find the solution so I had no option other than posting here sorry but please help
So, I found this old device from my cupboard it is not locked. I want to lock it but I forgot the password. Whenever I go into settings>security it asks for my old password to lock my device. No matter how many times I try but there is no option of forgot password
Is there any way to solve this problem
Thanks in advance
Regards milkyway3

hello guyz. i just got a motorola ES400 and password protected it but forgot the password so i did a master reset of the device.but after the master reset i try to use the fingerprint scanner as my new security but it could not switch from normal numerical pin codes to the the fingerprint pin security.it tells me "lockswitch.exe error". please i will be very greatfull if someone could give me a solution to this problem.it is killing me
Do another hard reset, make a full backup and use a simple password and write it somewhere down
this is the 4th hard reset i have done since the incident.the numerical pin works well after this resets but the fingerprint pin doesn't work which is what i'm interested in.thanks for your help Bozosniper but that is not it.i just dont know what to do any more

you just have to sign in with your google acc, no security question required and it will ask if you want another pattern, if you select none the lockscreen will be set to slide

i had two accounts on that mobile... cannt rem at all ... tell me the hard way how to chanege...
Flash FTF file through flashtool. But this is the only way...you will lose all your data!
If your familiar with the Android SDK, you could try this: http://www.typicaltips.com/2013/02/reset-forgotten-android-pattern-lock.html
And otherwise, flashing a stock .ftf is the only option.
And how did you have two accounts? You can only have one, right?
I understand that you can have multiple G-mail, but how do you login with more than one?
Anyway, hope I helped, and have a nice day!

Ok so this is another SOLVED problem...
So i downloaded ViperBoy's app (SIM Unlock Helper) in a try to unlock my HTC One M8, but by mistake I pressed on the lock option and it forced a Screenlock password that I am not able to figure out what is it. I tried Factory reset and even a clean wipe, but as soon as you reinstall the ROM, it will ask for the password.
Can you help me out by letting me what the password is, or how can I get a rid of it? I tried contacting viperBoy to ask for the password, I even offered him a Paypal Donation for the service but he wouldn't reply to my messages.
Please help!
