Is there any way to see what is going on in a phone locked with pattern? I want to see the viber dialogs. I know I can get in with the pin after 5 wrong pattern tries, but this leaves the phone locked with pin and not with pattern anymore..
Thank you
No. Asking for advice for hacking into a locked phone isn't what this community is about. Thread closed.

Hello.
Well in October I have set the screen lock pattern just for fun and haven't used it till now. Now by an oversight I have activated the "Require pattern". Well to be honest I have no idea what my pattern was. Could someone tell me how to get rid of the pattern without wiping the phone or installing a backup with fastboot? I have root access and I would love to see a solution for my problem.
At the moment I have the screen timeout set to "never".
I'm looking forward reading your answers.
Regards
Ok it is easy. Just lock the phone and try the false patterns several times. Until that you will be able to log into the phone with the own google account.
are u sure its ur phone bcoz even if u dont know the unlock pattern u must be knowing the email id and its password assigned with that phone
it asks to login into ur google acc if u forgot pattern...

I know this is kind of stupid but I was wondering if there was any sort of hack or registry edit so that there isn't a minimum length on a pattern lock. Android required that you use at least 4 Dots which actually sort of bugs me because I want my pattern to be super simple to avoid failed attempts. Just brushing across the bottom row, or maybe even just tapping a single dot. A one dot password might seem stupid but if you thing about it, if you handed a person your phone and said, "guess my password" nobody is going to be trying 1 or 2 dot combinations. Everyone is going to draw a pattern. Just wondering if this was at all possible.
agreeing
i completely agree with this request. i too would like to have a single dot password for my phone. this does not seem that unreasonable, there is no rule requiring a password. what difference should it make how long it is? i truthfully do not care to have a password on my phone at all for security reasons. it's incontinent and what does it matter if the phone is stolen? i just prefer that the password screen comes up this if someone just picks up my phone they will think it's locked and hopefully just leave it alone
Hi.
My 13 year old son has my old galaxy spica, I can't remember which ROM is on it, but it does have CM 2.5.1.0 recovery.
He's currently in a lot of trouble, and I'm hoping the contents of his phone (texts) might shed some extra light on the situation, but it's currently locked, and he's being unhelpful, I believe with a SIM card lock asking for a PIN rather than an unlock pattern.
I was hoping repeated wrong guesses would force PUK lock, then I'd contact the network for a key (phone is in my name, I pay the bill) but I just get a 30 second delay after 5 attempts.
So, the obvious question, how do I bypass the lock, is it even possible without wiping the data on the phone?
Alternatively, can I just access the data, as I do have recovery on the device?
Thanks
edit - taking the SIM out still has the phone showing the "Enter Password to Unlock" screen
I think there's no way around that...the only way I know how to take the screen lock off is to do a hard reset but then everything off the phone will be gone...I dont think you can get around the screen lock AND keep the contents in tact, but I could be wrong...
Thanks - his brother just gave me the code
I suppose the follow on question - any way to lock someone out of the settings menu?
edit - solved -app lock (app)
I looked around, but couldn't find an answer to this. Sorry if this has been asked before; you can close this and point me in the right direction if so.
Is there a way to change the backup/failsafe after the face unlock without redoing the face unlock? What I mean is, can I change from a pattern to a PIN without resetting the entire face unlock? Or can I change the pattern or PIN without resetting it?
I ask this because I have had problems with people going through my phone in the past, so the combination of a new job (with lots of confidential emails, etc.) and crazy girlfriends has made me want to make my phone as secure as possible. While the face unlock + blink keeps it pretty safe, I want to change the backup pattern/PIN from time to time. People see me enter it when the face unlock fails, or once or twice I've had to give it to someone to use my phone when I was across the room or outside or something. Once someone has this pattern/number, the face unlock + blink security measure can be bypassed very easily. Since I do the Improve Face Matching a few times to make the feature better, I'd prefer to not have to redo this every time I need to reset the backup pattern/PIN.
Thanks.

Bump...
Bump. I'm guessing this isn't possible considering it's an old thread that has yet to be answered. Either that or it's in the wrong section LOL.
Maybe so, but I really want it answered.

Hello;
After looking for hours about this I'm very angry because of the stupidity of Google. Here I go:
I have configured fingerprint to unlock my phone because I sometimes can't or it's very uncomfortable for me to unlock my phone with a password / PIN / Pattern because using with one hand and I need to unlock as fast as possible all the time.
Now it comes the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my life: no matter what, the phone will ask me to enter whatever I have configured for security, rendering my fingerprint totally useless. This is completely nonsense because it's not configurable by the user. The correct way of doing this is to enable an option for the user to choose: "Additionally ask every 72 hours for the password to provide extra security". Just a checkbox that can be enabled or disabled, because Google should think about the user. This security crazy paranoia is making devices less secure, because people who don't want to enter their password when they have configured fingerprint choose to disable security completely to stop being asked for the damn password.
But I'm asking here because I absolutely know there is a way to disable this, I don't care if it involves hacking / opening / soldering the device, anything to stop this will be welcome, because for me is completely necessary, or else I will have to either sell the phone or disable security completely. Entering the password on startup or when your finger fails 3 times is ok and full of sense, I have no problems with that, but every 72 hours because yes is an absolute no-no, sorry.
I hope somebody knows the exact formula to [email protected] Google / Xiaomi back, because they are simply stupid.
Thanks.
P.S: Please, if you are about to say things like "it's a feature" or "I like it, it makes more secure your device so it makes sense" or "somebody could cut your finger and use it", I prefer you don't post a comment, because I'm looking for a solution not an explanation on why it is like that to understand why the things are done like they are done, I hope you understand.
How about a factory reset?

This is bad design from Google. When I was in the crowd (e.g. inside the train), people surrounding me were looking at my finger typing the PIN as I was not able to unlock it using my fingerprint anymore after 72 hours. It makes the phone becoming very insecure. You should lock the phone with PIN only when I am not inside the crowd (e.g. during evening hour)
