I had this program that i downloaded off this site a few days ago that allowed me to put a password on my phone. So that everytime i locked my phone, it would have me put in my password to unlock it. Does anyone know what app this is because i hard reset my phone and its not there anymore.
You can go to Settings / Security / Device Lock. It will ask your password everytime you lock your phone.

i had set a line password and it was entered incorrectly a number of times , it now tells me to unlock with my google account but it wont work either , is there any other way to bypass it?
I set up the encryption with a lock screen password, so now Ihave to put in a password every time I unlock the screen.
I don't want a password anymore. So I go into the security options and it still acts as though the device doesn't have a password. All the options are grayed out except the one for setting up a password, the same as it did the first time I set up the password.
Is there a fix for this?
Remove encryption. If you have Xposed, there are a couple modules that work for it.
Somehow my password pattern is suddenly not detectable and it shows as wrong password. As there is no more option in lollipop for "forgot password" and using the gmail account to log in. How do I reset the password on a HTC M8 without doing a reset? I've tried logging into the google account, and I can use the "find" option in the device manager to locate the device, but if i press the "lock" button and try to enter a new password, for a split second it says "We have sent a lock request to the device", but then it says "Since Google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password you entered won't be needed." Wtf is going on? I am stuck with a pattern locked phone of whose password i know but the phone doesnt detect it anymore. Is there another way to reset the password?
No replies?
Well.......
Let me start by saying that this is a delicate matter, what if the device is stolen and somebody wants to get the info or device to work without wiping it. I know that this is probably not your intention and that it is hard to prove otherwise. But the possibility could be there in the worst case scenario !
Now don't get the above personal, it's written from another point of view, as i am running HTC phones for the past 6 years and never encountered this all of a sudden at any point. So from my point of view i find it difficult to believe.
To get to your point ...... not sure if it can be done otherwise but to reset the device. Depends if it's rooted or not for instance ?
Cheers

According to the story, looks like either : 3rd party apps are interfering (can also be malware/virus) OR someone physically got hold of the device and changed the password(perhaps he thinks its his own)
Try restarting the device while holding the volume up button only, android will go into safe mode and disable all 3rd party apps. If the password still doesn't work, then you have 2 options:
1) if S-ON : factory reset and lose all user data
2) if S-OFF or bootloader unlocked: remove password (this is the most details I can give without being an accomplice)
Hello, I found simless phone and I did a full fectory reset, once it start up it shows me a a title:"active directory login" and ask me for a username and password,
Is there any way to unlock it so I can use the phone?
Last night i changed screen lock password and now i am stuck as i forgot the password.
I have tried following solutions that i found on google.
1. Android lock screen can be bypassed by overloading with massive password ( Failed as my android is patched, not able to copy from dial screen ).
2. ADB can not be used as developer mode is disabled.
3. Google Android device manager has failed to ring or change the screen lock password as internet is off and there is no way to turn on WI-Fi or Data on lollipop when screen is locked.
Do i have any option other than Wipe Data/ Factory Reset. :fingers-crossed:
