Hello guys, I own a Moto E(2nd gen. - 4G LTE), I mispelled the password while resetting it but I also had facial recognition by luck(which worked fine).But I have now switched to a new phone, migrated the google account to the new phone, but that removed the facial lock and now I cant unlock my device. Its SD card wont be detected by my pc. Please help!
(p.s :my phone is not rooted and I dont wanna factory reset it as it contains important data to me)

If you can access your Google account, you should be able to reset your password.

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

Hey guys, I have a live demo unit Galaxy s6 G920F (fyi, it does not support simcard and network)
anyway, today i came out of bath and my fingers was kind of different as it is after washing so phone didnt recognized my fingerprints and asked for backup passwork but I dont remember it!!!!
so i went through recovering with google sign it but the phone is not connected to WiFi so I cant do that neither!!!!
now here is the question:
Is there anyway to turn on wifi without unlocking the device? like going through recovery or something? I have TWRP
is there anyway to unlock my device at this stage??!
I know i can factory reset it through recovery but i dont want to do that, if only i could turn WiFi on, i could sign in to my google account!!!
thanks
Did you create a backup in TWRP? restore back...

Hi all
I've recently reset my wife's phone so my son can use it.
However, after factory reset (using the buttons) when it reboots I cannot set it up.
It says that an "Abnormal factory reset" has been performed and asks for my wife's Samsung email/password.
When we put this in - it's rejected (actually, it says signing in but nothing happens).
We've reset the password but it still won't work.
I'd be happy to just format it an put a clean custom ROM on it but I don't know how.
All guides I find say it needs to be rooted first and to enable USB developer options - but I cannot unlock the phone to get to this stage.
Could someone please help me figure it out? Samsung can't (they want us to send it to them for a chargeable repair!)
Thanks
Matt

Hi, you don't need to root before flashing.
Samsung is AWESOME FOR THIS.
You can flash at any desperate moment.
It is time to install Android 10 for the dummies : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/guide-tutorial-howto-samsung-galaxy-s6-t4108425
Thanks. I managed to fix it though.
I had to get the L2 Samsung account support to disable two-factor authentication.
Then the password worked and the phone unlocked.
The "this phone is blocked" screen requires your Samsung password but isn't smart enough to work with two factor auth (which is default turned on for all Samsung accounts). #facepalm

Nope the twofacauth is not turned on by default for Sam acc or any other acc on this Planet...that must be activate and config by user.
But if you have the right knowledge you could flash other Rom even if the Phone is lock by google. You just need to know how to.

I'm using samsung galaxy A51 global version.
Recently, I changed my lock screen pin code at night and never tried to unlock with the pin until the pin code is required instead fingerprint.
So, when I tried to unlock with the pin code , it says the pin is incorrect. I tried pin several times but failed and it's time blocked and there is no option to reset password like older versions of samsung phones.
I have so many personal data in my phone, so I need to unlock my phone somehow. Please, help me if there is any way to unlock the phone without losing the internal memory data.
hello good, enter your Gmail account, from there you can change the password.

Hi, Its only possible if u already had twrp installed, in that case enter the twrp file manager and delete the following:
/data/system/locksettings.db
/data/system/locksettings.db-shm
/data/system/locksettings.db-wal
you can enter google from a computer, enter search and change password
Hi guys, i have a samsung a51 and i had to hard reset because i forgot the pin to unlock the phone. Now after restarting, it needs old pin or google account. I don't remember the old pin and the google account. I tried to install TWRP and then install a custom rom, but the phone needs to unlock the bootloader from developer settings that i can't activate because i can't start the phone.
Thank you all.
