Hi,
I wanted to flash TWRP on my Pixel 3a. I used the method mentionned on the TWRP website (https://twrp.me/google/googlepixel3a.html) but when I boot on TWRP temporarily, it asks for my password.
I use a pincode and fingerprint. I read that I had to put my pincode but it doesn't work and doesn't decrypt the data for User [0]. Some posts on the internet mention a default password such as "default_password" but it doesn't work because TWRP only proposes a pincode keyboard.
If I delete my fingerprints and deactivate pincode, TWRP works without asking me a code but I don't want to deactivate pincode for this !
Is there something I'm missing ?
Remove PIN, do what you want to do with TWRP and reenable PIN after you're done with TWRP; You have to repeat same procedure every time you want to access any files on your phone from TWRP. As far as I know this is the only way…

Hi folks,
My MI4C is on the weekly MIUI 7.4.x, I am now looking to upgrade, hence as usual I rebooted in recovery.
The phone has obviously root and unlocked bootloader.
TWRP is asking for my encryption password, which I know, but no matter what, TWRP does not flipping accept the password!
What can I do?
Do you know if you have the Nougat bootloader or the old one?
I have not found a TWRP that can successfully decrypt it Nougat bootloader ROMs. If you are not on the Nougat Bootloader then I recommend trying Team Superluminal's TWRP, since that is the only one that worked with encryption enabled for me I think.
Have you got a working rom/os on the phone ?, If you do have try to add a password on the rom, hope the twrp has a new working crypto after that and ask you for a new password. If it didnt work try to reinstall the twrp by erasing it first.
Hi, I am on the Nougat bootloader, I tried to change the encryption password, tried to remove the encryption, but nothing worked, TWRP is still asking me the password to access the data partition.
What can I do?
I cannot wipe the phone, as I use it for my work,how can I upgrade TWRP when encryption is on?
Hi folks, anybody in my situation? I would like to avoid wiping the entire phone just because of the TWRP password bug.
I changed to a PIN password, but nothing works.
Hi folks, I searched wide and large, it seems I cannot access TWRP anymore after having encrypted my phone.
I have a Mi4C, with the 7.4 weekly ROM (MIUI 8.3).
I set the encryption in order to use the company eMail app.
When I tired to enter TWRP I was asked the encryption password, but it did not work, so I tried to:
Remove the encryption altogether
Encrypt with a new Password
Encrypt with PIN
I have installed the latest TWRP 3.1.1. via the TWRP APP, same issue.
Nothing has worked.... Can I just remove TWRP and install a newer version?
How do I overwrite the file that has that TWRP encryption record?
You can try flashing updated twrp, but I doubt it will remove encryption without wiping data.
Anyway, if you wanna remove encryption you've to wipe data via TWRP.
Thanks for answering, I did try to upgrade TWRP, no success. I will wipe.
I installed a custom rom, said rom gave me problems so I was going to revert back to old rom. I removed my fingerprint and pin from security and I rebooted to twrp. Twrp asks for a pin so I tried to put in the one I had before and it says password invalid and nothing is working. My old pin doesn't work, default_password doesn't work. Both slots are encrypted and I can't decrypt my internal storage to backup my files. Is there any work around I can do?

The quick fix is format data. The other is hoping you have an otg cable to flash drive to reinstall that custom rom you have to access your data for backup.
Hey I have orangefox 10.1
I tried add password to orangefox recovery
Teied gesture, pin and tedt method but anytime I reboot to recovery Its not asking me for password, and when I check security from option, it says none.
What is the problem please help.
Hi, i recently unlocked my phone bootloader (Redmi Note 10) and installed TWRP. It works fine, when i launch the recovery it asks me for my pattern lock and if i input it correctly it decypts the data. I wanted to try orangefox recovery because i prefer it for it's functonalities and look. I tried installing it but when i launch it it asks me for a text password/PIN. There's two problems here: First: i don't have a text password or a pin but a pattern lock. Second : i tried setting up a pin instead of a pattern lock in android but i still could'nt decrypt data when entering orangefox recovery.
I tried with the latest version of orangefox for the redmi note 10.
sorry for my bad english, i'm french.
(edit: by the way i don't want to format or wipe my data)

ASK in the official device thread. when coming from TWRP or stock recovery, you need to flash OF recovery using the .zip and not using .img file, else you will get installation problems. Of course, Formatting Data partition (not wiping) will solve your problem most likely (I saw your edit).
As for decrypting using a pattern, refer to the official TWRP command line dictionary. Pay attention to the section: Specific pattern decrypt note
Again. Ask in your device sub-forum.

Hey, thank you very much for your reply. I tried the pattern decrypt method but it did not work (my pattern would be 14569) I will ask in the device thread
(also yes i'm flashing orangefox with a zip file from TWRP)
