No matter what I do, no matter the process I try or how many times I start over, when I boot to recovery it asks for a password. I haven't set a password. I've reinstalled the recovery. I've formatted and started over. Everything goes well until a few days later and I boot into recovery and there it is again! Password! Uggghhhh what am I doing wrong???
So you can't access twrp at all? you get to password and that's it?
what twrp u using? u can ignore it, in twrp perform "format data", then reboot recovery to see if the password gone!

Are you running on stock os or custom os
If you are coming from stock to custom you need decrypt the phone or install encryption supported rom & recovery

When I boot into TWRP recovery, it prompts me for a password. The start-up password for my phone doesn't work. Does anyone know the default password? Thanks!
TWRP has passwords? By default it doesn't have a password just reflash the recovery to see if it will prompt you for a password.

Just hit 'cancel" and it should work.

Yes it opens but most functions "fail" error without the password. I've tried reflashing and still get the same result. The unlock password for my phone gets an "incorrect password" response. Any other ideas? Thanks!

I found some info on "why the password pop up" is due to something you flashed (rom/kernel)? that alter the partition on your sdcard or internal, which caused TWrP failed to read the data. I would recommend that you remove your sdcard then try to boot into twrp, if the issue still existed, then you may need to do a full backup, wipe data, and reflash your O/S. If anyone has any info feel free to chime in...
I am a relatively new android user but do enjoy flashing roms, kernels etc
My problems began when i was trying to flash a new rom on my Nexus 5
I was trying to flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655722 but despite doing a factory reset and wiping the dalvik cache and cache it refused to boot in to the new rom
I tried to flash the rom multiple times but without success, eventually when trying to boot into recovery to try again i was greeted with an unthemed TWRP recovery asking for a password despite the fact that i had a custom theme and multirom installed I tried to proceed anyways but was greeted with E: unable to mount storage
In desperation i tried to solve this problem and found this

TWRP asking for password
After unboxing my Nexus 5, here's what I did:
1. Booted into bootloader
2. fastboot oem unlock
3. Flashed TWRP v2.6.3.0
4. Booted to recovery
The screen that greeted me says "Please Enter Your Password".
I can hit the cancel button below this which takes me to the normal TWRP screen. I then pushed SuperSU to /sdcard, but when I flash it it fails because it's unable to mount /cache or storage.
When I reboot to the system, it takes an awfully long time (approximately 30s) to progress past the "Google" screen, and then it just seems to sit on the booting animation forever.
Any help?
EDIT: Solved my own problem.
Hit cancel at the password screen, then go into Wipe and then do a factory reset by swiping. Then go back into Wipe and press the 'Format data' button. You have to type 'Yes', and it will take a few seconds. After that everything should work normally.

I now fear that i maybe without both a rom and all my files such as my music that was stored on my phone.
Is there any way for me to undo the damage i may have done to to my phone?
You can't recover the data. But you can push files over with ADB.

Hello,
I have totally wiped my phone to clean install ROM. However, now TWRP is asking for a password to decrypt data. I gave the password I set but it is showing wrong password. I don't understand, I am sure I am using the right password. Was on Venom 1.7.0 and disabled password on first boot. On the latest 1.27 base as well. Tried fastboot but device doesn't detect on fastboot :/ Not sure what do now, please can someone show me how can I get rid of this issue? Thank you.
Taking from Second Post by Nkk71 of TWRP Thread.
while still in TWRP, use the TWRP File Manager to navigate to /data/system and delete all the locksettings.* files (such as locksettings.db, etc). When you reboot, the password will be gone.
Unfortunately, I cannot access my internal storage. Hence I don't see any files. I don't mind wiping it clean and starting over. Can I downgrade with the help of a RUU?

Try this:
1. CANCEL WHEN TWRP ASK FOR PASSWORD
2. GOTO WIPE
3. SLIDE TO WIPE
4. BACK TO MAIN TWRP MENU
5. REBOOT TO RECOVERY AGAIN

This post just saved me. Somehow I inadvertently encrypted my phone while setting up Oreo. Doing too many things at the same time. Thanks man!

Thanks man! :good: I also stumbled across some "default Passwort" which I didn't know and even after installing new ROM I still couldn't access my device. Even after having wiped cache and dalvik and all partitions. So this second wipe AFTER installing the ROM did the job!

Be careful because this erases everything on the phone and you have to install everything once again
EDIT:
I don't understand if this can be achieved with stock ROM. In case it is not possible: how to flash another ROM if no root access is possible? I just wanted to have a rooted stock ROM. Please help.
I just got this phone and i have OEM Unlock enabled. I am due to sell my old phone in few days so i am in a bit panic mode right now :\
When i try to flash TWRP along with the instruction that were here (i tried with only applying both or only dm-verity) the phone started to "start" flashing the Samsung logo but nothing happened and after 15-25minutes i tried to install this ROM and it also shows "Starting up please wait" but it also seems to start up indefinately.
Can you tell what is wrong now? It seems i can flash the stock ROM and boot to it but cannot install TWRP/Root nor any custom ROM's :\
Hey bro follow this.
Install stock ROM.
Boot into it once.
And flash TWRP. Disable auto reboot in Odin.
Then boot into TWRP directly from there.
Now swipe to allow modifications.
THEN GO INTO WIPE ADVANCED WIPE AND CLICK FORMAT DATA AND TYPE YES.
After format reboot into recovery once again.
Now again swipe to allow mods.
Now only install Dm-verity.
Reboot.
Now the phone will boot.
Go back into recovery to install your ROM it'll root the phone.

Sorry but still no dice (waited for ½hours to boot)
The data wipe did not even succeed. I attached screenshots of data wiping plus no-verity install if there is something anyone could use. I do not really understand how this is so hard... I have never encountered this kind of problem with common phone.
@DARKKi
Did You try to format data or just to wipe? You should click on format data and type "yes"
Dude I clearly mentioned, you have to click format data in advanced wipe. First try to read and understand then proceed. Click format data and then type yes and then you're good to go.

Damn. Sorry, i think that when going into advanced wipe there is no format there it's under normal wipe so i only thought that it meant that but yeah my mistake. I should have looked for format data and come to my own conclusions :\
Well first result of format resulted on loop boot and i could not even flash the stock rom with Odin (failed directly) but then i tried to flash TGP ROM via TWRP and it worked! So now i am using the phone as we speak!
Thanks a lot njaya95!

Sure no problem, I'm sorry about misleading you about that format data. Have fun with your phone.
Okay, I'm not sure if this entirely the right place. Have updated to Viper 2.1.0. Rebooted my phone, as I do each morning. It came up with needing to to enter a decryption key, ie; my password. Did said & it failed saying that data is corrupt. TWRP can no longer read the data portion either. Therefore can't wipe it in TWRP.
Is there a way to format or wipe the data partition through either fastboot or adb?
Factory reset but your data will be gone.

Try this, Venom helped with it a while ago and it worked, you will just have to re activate smart lock in google setting.
TWRP-Advanced-File Browser.
Navigate to /data/system and delete the locksettings.db.
I got my phone back from HTC after repair my phone screen and they wiped my custom rom and recovery but still have unlocked bootloader and restore oreo 8.0.
I managed to re-install twrp and tried to install a customed rom and experienced the same "decryption unsuccessful". But there is no lockingsettiings.db in the folder.
I will later try this method and report.... been a frustrating day....
