Scratching my head on this one... When trying to pair my Blue Parrot B250-XT headset to the phone, the dialog box comes up for entering the pin, and authorizing access to the contact list, but it doesn't bring up the keyboard or a place to enter the pin. I know there was a trick in kitkat to bring up a keyboard, but I don't know what it was now lol.
Thanks
fixed, didn't need pin, but the selection of the access permission worked after about 20 attempts. sigh...

Now I know what you're gonna say - hard reset, but just bear with me.
I set a password to stop the kids messing with the PDA.
Then I wanted to use my contract Orange SIM card temporarily instead of my PAYG SIM - it's cheaper to surf that way.
Sooo, I turned off the M2000 and inserted my contract SIM. When I turned it back on, I was prompted for the password, but I now do not have the keyboard icon bottom right of screen and I only ever used my touch screen to enter it.
I can enter via the keyboard, but I keep getting it wrong as I'm not really sure which keys come up as default CAPS lock on and how to use the Lock Fn key - ie: does it stay on for 1 key press then default back or do you have to turn it off again....similarly with Shift, CAPS, etc.
I've backed up my important data via ActiveSync, which prompts me for a password. So I've browsed the device and copied across the stuff I need...apart from program installs and the like.
So, this is how my password is structured: Abcd1efghij
To explain: a capital first letter, 3 lower case letters, a number, 6 lower case letters.
Any thoughts?
Boing for the monday morning types!!
Remote Controller
You poor thing! Try connecting with ActiveSync, and using the remote control program attached (rCE) to use your PC to enter the password.
Hi,
I was changing my PIN on my Samsung Note 3. After putting in the current PIN and then putting in the new PIN. I was prompted to confirm the PIN. The "settings app" was then forced closed. I returned to the PIN change setting but my current PIN nor the new PIN that I was trying to change to worked. I then restarted my phone and I'm completely locked out.
If the PIN was not changed due to the force close of 'settings' shouldn't the PIN be unchanged? I tried all PINs I've used in the past as well as 1111,0000,1234, last 4 digits of phone number, SSN... everything but still doesn't work.
Any suggestions? I don't want to factory reset the phone. Please help! Please!
------UPDATE-------
I found that using Google's Android Device Manager I can remotely change the PIN. I can see from the website and also on the phone that the password is changing. If I change from a numberic PIN to a text password, the password input keypad changes from number only to a full keyboard. So, i'm sure that the password was changed remotely. However, the temporary password that I recent using Android Device Manager still doesn't work!!!! Can anyone help?
I have encryption enabled on my phone, when it restarted I can't enter my password as the keyboard is not popping up! Help any ideas on how to fix this issue or a work around?

Is it a normal password with letters I'm assuming?
Do you have a USB OTG cable? If so, easy fix. Plug it in, plug in a USB mouse or keyboard, then fix things.

I was stuck with a locked phone and a broken digitizer, and this was basically the ONLY way I was able to get into the phone to back everything up before doing some work on the phone.
Once you get into the phone, I would try going into Settings->Application Manager, then find the keyboard app and clear data to see if it comes up again.
I did not have an otg, went and purchased one and saved the day, thanks
I am trying to connect my Nexus 5 to my car (Volkswagen CC). I simply need to use the password 0000. However, before I have time to enter the password the password dialog on my phone disappears and then the connection ultimately fails due to incorrect password. The same thing happens when I try to connect to a controller that requires a passcode. It's like the Nexus 5 decides to skip the passcode part and close that window before even allowing me to enter a single digit.
Is there a different way to force the phone to enter a passcode or have it respond with a default passcode before attempting to pair?
I am running the stock rooted 5.1.1. rom. I tried it with my Wife's Note 4 and, no surprise to me, it works. The passcode window stays up and I can enter the 0000 passcode.
Well you don't want to hear this but I have the same problem with a nexus 6 and rooted 5.1.1 rom.
I fixed this by booting up in safe mode.
I could then connect the bluetooth device, enter password and presto .
When you reboot again in normal mode the bluetooth connection is still there and you can start using it.
Get to safe mode by pressing off button. Then long press on shut down action and you can select to restart in safe mode.
Apparently it was some app doing this. Safe mode does not load any third party apps.
I JUST got a replacement LG v20 (like literally sent back my first V20 on thursday) for a v20 that wasn't quick charging. And I left it on top of a car when pulling out of a gas station and it fell off and promptly got run over. First cellphone I've ever actually broken or even cracked a screen on. So annoying.
Anyway, the phone was still working using my bluetooth headset but I didn't realize and the battery died shortly after. I'd like to try and backup a few things on the phone before switching over to my insurance replacement (specifically let Whatsapp backup automatically run at 3am, backup SMS messages and backup call log) but I have the PIN required on restart option set. Everything I find online about getting an android phone unlocked with a broken screen seems to be talking about the screenlock and not the PIN on restart feature. Before I go buy an OTG breakout cable to use a mouse and HDMI monitor will that even work with PIN on restart? Can I connect to the phone with ADB before it actually boots into android (and set the USB connection as something other than only charge; not even sure I've set USB debugging yet since the phone is so new for me)?
It won't be the end of the world if I can't get into the broken phone, my photos are automatically backed up to Google drive, all my contacts, emails, tasks, calendar etc are cloud based (exchange server or gmail). Really the only thing I'd lose would be SMS's since last week, whatsapp since last backup, and my call log. But that would be really annoying to my pseudo OCD; I have an uninterrupted record of every text message I've ever gotten since treo in 2004.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hello,
The situation is faced by lots of people and this is really very irritating. But I would like to tell you that there are ways to unlock your Android phone with broken screen. Maybe you are not aware of this fact but actually, you can unlock your phone without typing password on phone. The only possible way is by using a professional tool like Android Unlock. This is a great utility that helps to unlock any device whether its dead or broken, whether its locked with PIN, fingerprint, face lock, password etc. This tool is just amazing as it effectively works to unlock Android phone with broken screen.
