[Completed] Sony XPERIA Z1, SCREEN lock issue

Ok, so here is the problem.
I forgot the PIN number for screen unlocking on my phone. So 1st thing i tried is to reset the code via Android Device Manager, but Google tells me that there is no need to reset the screen unlock password because it already exists , and it does not allow me to reset my password although i am in my account and i entered my email and password :silly:
Anyway, next thing i tried is to do something via Sony PC Companion, but the app does not register the phone because i can't unlock its screen(which is the essential problem). Next thing i tried is to enter the Guest account and try something that way. And i didn't success anything that way. Sony PC companion recognized the phone while its in Guest mode, but it does not allow me to do anything backup reset update, nothing, it asks for an Owner profile. I can use the file manager, but it only shows me files on the phone memory as shortcuts i can't access them or copy them.
I really ran out of ideas, and i searched a lot online and no success so i figured XDA must have some kind of solution for my headache, or i am doomed...
p.s i think the problem may be in the OS, because on KItKat something like this wouldnt happen but on Lolipop it does ...

[Completed] Help needed, unlock pattern (phone locked)

Hi all,
I need help with breaking my lock screen pattern (Sony Z3 Compact D5803, Android 5.1.1). Today 6 years old kid was playing with my phone and somehow she went into settings and changed my lock screen - and she forgot it. Grrrr
Things I have done so far:
1. Access my gmail account, able to use Android Device Manager -> lock and reset (its running on phone - but did not reset lock screen pattern)
2. Contacted Sony and my carrier (Vodafone UK) - both unable to do anything. Recommend hard reset (all data wiped out)
3. Tried to access phone with ADB shell ->error device '(null)' not found (i guess on USB debugging on on the phone)
4. tried like 200 combinations (simple) no luck
5. Pushed installation of androidlost and done sms registering etc (done this before on friend phone when was stolen) but no luck on main (I got AVG AV on phone which probably stop starting app remotely)
Got some data on my phone what can't really lose, otherwise would do hard reset
Any help appreciated

Thanks for your help. went there and did go through those methods, unfortunately adb shell/devices showed null device, I am on stock rom so no recovery mode - to flash from sd.
But in the end of the day, I made it - phone is unlocked thanks to SONY software (when registering phone with your gmail it does create for you Xperia account). Its like Google Device Manager - with the difference it will overwrite PIN/Lock Pattern. Funny thing is Sony customer service is unaware of this.. completely..at least they first level of support.
Happy

Glad, you found your way. Thread closed

[Completed] FRP add/remove samsun account

Help please! !! So I've bypassed the lock and I'm into the phone. Well I've added my google account and evertime I try to add samsung account it aft like it's about to open then closes and goes back to add account list. Nothing I've tried works I can use the phone but every time I hit the home button Frp comes back on and I have to go back through camera es file explore ect.. please help I'm on at&t note 4 5.1.1

Hi !
This FRP lock has been covered over many threads , firstly , the "issue" isn`t an issue actually , it`s a security measure and I can`t provide you any links as I don`t know for sure if you`re the owner or not and it can brick the device .
What I can suggest is to have a deeper search on google and youtube
Good luck !

Hii, I am facing a problem in my huawei mate 8. After a hard reset the keypad disappeared from the mobile & I am not able to setup the mobile. Could anyone help with any suggestions......

My mobile is totally noy operational,while doing the factory reset,keypad not appearing for the password input.How to get the keypad back.....?

a year ago I had the same problem and I think it was solved by installing the rom again or using another rom.

No need to reflash or go back
Guys is simple .You cannot insert the credentials to your router and so on because the keyboard is missing ?First grab another phone and start a hotspot without any password.connect with mate on that hotspot,then spell pressing the circle clear and loud Fdroid.Install ,then on the search in fdroid say liud and clear keyboard .install the first keybord aviable on fdroid .have fun and remamber ,no need to flash enyhing .think twice!
