Windows Device Lock - HTC Excalibur

Hi
After loaning my phone to my girlfriend she has managed to put a device lock on it, so when it boots up it asks for a password, Now she doesn't know what she set it to.
How do I go about fixing it? If I try and reflash I get the 270 error message.
Thanks in advance and keep the great work up!!

I think you can connect with your PC.
Try to flash your phone with your rom.
Good luck.
what do you mean by flash it with the rom?

Try finding out how to access your recovery and then clear your phone with a factory reset. Or you can do this from your hboot. Otherwise you should be able to reset your phone after a few failed attempts.

Just keep on failing the security attempt and say forgot password
Or it will ask for your google account eventually

have you tried a factory reset from the hboot screen?
Normally the default pin for the phone with be the last 4 of the phone number.

Try to give the wrong answer continuously until the phone is either frozen or locked for several seconds.
After that you should find a Forget Password / Pattern button, press this button and it should bring you to a screen to input your Google account username or password (Gmail account).
This step should bypass or unlock your forgotten security protection on your HTC ONE M7.
I have never used password or pin protection, so I cannot guarantee the results.
I hope that works for you, as I do not know why a factory reset wouldn't, unless it's recognizing the phone by your number and continuing to lock you out even after a hard reset.
I wish you luck! :good:

If you were locked out from the moment you bought it, I would request a refund.
Only way it will get unlocked at this point, is by the person who locked it, sounds like.
It's possible that if it came to you this way, it might even be stolen.
Not what you wanna hear. But that's what I would do.
That's if it did in fact come to you this way.
If not, then you should be able to remember your pin.
Really don't know if there's much that anyone else can suggest.

Because a security lock on a device isn't intended to be simply bypassed by wiping the device.
That would be way too easy for thieves.

If you bought it on ebay then you should contact the seller. If you do not get any help from the seller then open a case against the seller and ebay will help you to resolve the situation. If you receive an item bought on ebay that was not as described then you have options.
The only other thing I would suggest is to go to a verizon store and see if they might have way to bypass the password.
