So, the thing is that I was trying to recover an voice note I've deleted and I runed a windows program to do so. When the program started working on the recovery it restarted my phone to do the last step. When my phone restarted I got a weird message on a black screen "To strat up your device enter your password". I have the fingerprint and the pattern set as my default unlock ways so I don't know to which "Password" is this message reffering to. I've read that it maight be reffering to my google account password but I've tried that and nothing. I also read about it has something to do with google ADM protecting my phone but I couldn't find any way to restore that password from the google Adroid Device Manager panel on PC. I'm very desperate about this, I just want to know what is the password this thing is asking me. Or I just want to backup all my data to do a factory reset then. The thing is that the phone is on that lock screen, it isn't even started up so I can't do anything. Is not conected to wifi, nothing!!! it is just stuck there. If you know which password is this asking me that would help or if you know how can I do a backup with the phone locked up, that could help me out too.. Thanks!

I will Never make same mistake....How I was so stupid (not enough coffee)
I reset my device expecting Cisco able VPN but I was presented with a lock screen (like windows lock ) asking for a password to access my device.
Below the password box is a note saying "password is: demo"
Password demo does not work I am crying.....I have locked my Device!
Unlock code is not my device unlock code
It wont let me make emergency calls or anything......
I am stuck looking at their splash screen...
I can connect via Active sync - I removed the program files relating to this but I cannot get it to stop starting up with my device....
In windows/startup I have:
btdwake

Hi I'm having a problem with Galaxy 5 i5500 i have entered a pattern [the one wich you use to see the home screen] and i forgot it. now i entered the pattern wrong too many times and my phone is locked and asks me to enter a google account. i havent set up a google account in my samsung so i can't access it. can anyone help me if they could tell me how to reset it or factory reset it? i have tried the secret codes and they don't work.
Why is it that 90% of the time, the first thing people do when they get a phone or tablet is put in a password (same with laptops and desktops). While I'm at it, why in the blue hell do people always hide the password on the unlock screen when making vids on youtube? YEAH
ANYWAY, google is your friend bro. You should be able to boot the phone in recovery mode (someone please correct me if I'm wrong on that because I'm not 100% on it) and do a factory reset. I'm not going to take the time to google it or search XDA on how to do it for you though. I learned how to walk because my parents refused to carry me around for the rest of my life....just sayin
I recently bought myself a transformer prime tf201 and i have had a pattern on it for a little while. A few friends attempted without me noticing to unlock it and eventually got to the stage where it asks for my google account username and password.
However even when i put those in its says invalid username or password, i have read this is a bug to do with multiple accounts.
I really dont want to factory reset the tablet. Ive seen apps that i can remote install to temporary bypass the lockscreen, however the tablet has wifi completely turned off so i cant do anything like that. Is there anyway over the usb connection to turn wifi on, install an app, or some how bypass the lock screen. Also if there is no way of doing that can i root the device and somehow get all my stuff back. I have had no luck so far, please help as i have no idea how i can get all my stuff back without resetting it. It would be greatly appreciated for an answer to my problem and if i have to root it a link to something helping me to do that.
Thanks heaps Brent.
ps. when the device is locked the usb connection is useless as nothing comes up on the computer
I have the same problem! my password is refused!
Hi guys, I have a problem. My friend has a pattern lock on his HTC Evo 3d and someone kept trying to unlock it. They have successfully locked him out of his phone. The phone asks for his google account and password now whenever we try to unlock it. He has no connectivity whatsoever enable, both mobile data and WiFi are switched off and I cant access the notifications panel. Also, he doesn't have a Google account. I tried to follow a Youtube video on how to delete the file responsible for the pattern lock (some "gesture.key" file) using an SD card but I hit a snag when trying to access the recovery menu of the phone. It shows me a symbol of the phone with a red exclamation mark and just stops there, a couple of minutes later, the phone restarts and takes me back to the lock screen, so basically, I can't access the recovery menu of the phone; It may not have either stock or custom recovery installed on it perhaps?
Please can you guys help me work around this. Any help would be appreciated. I'm just trying to help my buddy unlock his phone without factory resetting it and losing all this data (no, his phone isn't backed up at all). Thank you.
Hello, I recently found an LG Stylo 3 in one of my drawers that has a knock code on it. I don't remember the code and I already tried 66 times to unlock it (it now takes 240 seconds between each attempt). No "Forgot Password" or backup pin option shows up, USB Debugging is on but it's unauthorized, and the mode that it's on when I connect the phone to my PC is Charging Only. I just want to know what pictures I have saved on it, or if I can pull out my photos or something. I can't reboot into bootloader from the recovery options, it just reboots my phone. I'm able to go into recovery, and safemode, update from adb puts it into sideload mode, and it's connected to my wifi but because I changed my passwords on my google accounts already, the phone doesn't show up in any of my google device manager accounts.
Everything is stock, no custom recovery or firmware and it's not rooted.
What can I do now? Is there a way to reset my password or bypass it entirely? I don't care how technical it is, if given a good guide I can do it. I can't find anything to help me, hopefully someone can help my problem here.
Before anything, I didn't steal the phone, it's my old phone I had when on Virgin Mobile, I can give as much proof as I can to show that it is my phone if needed. I just don't remember the knock code
Thanks!
