I flashed [ROM-FroYo] Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM (16/07 v1.0c | OpenDesire Team) and set up a phone lock when the display turns off.
After a couple of hours I realised that I have forgotten it. Is there any way to bypass it so it would let me enter my gmail password like in 2.1?
Pls help.
I have also forgotten my phone lock once and i have tried several ways to unlock it to no avail...
In the end i have done this to reset it...
1) Put the phone into recovery mode (off the phone and press the volume down and power key)
2) Choose recovery and when the phone with triangle comes up press the volume up and power key again to go the android system recovery
3) Wipe data/ factory reset and choose yes -- to delete all user data
4) Be warned that u will lose all ur settings and apps
Then reboot ur system and wait for it to set up.. U will then able unlock the phone as per normal...
Hope this will help u...

Will, I just try these on my i637, It works......I don't know how about yours...
I need to send my phone in for repair but want to factory reset it first.
LCD cracked after a drop so I can't see ANYTHING on the screen, this is what is happening when I try reset:
1. Remove & replace battery
2. Hold volume down, then press Power whilst holding
3. Four seconds later release volume down
4. Press volume down
5. Press power button (Phone then vibrates briefly)
6. Press Volume Up
7. Wait for reboot....
Problem is that the phone doesn't seem to reboot no matter how long I wait (I never hear the start-up sound/no buttons become active.)!
I have WaveSecure installed, so I did a remote Backup to check if the phone had been reset but it hadn't, I still had data on there!! I have no performed a Remote Wipe with WaveSecure but I don't know if it deletes things like Saved Passwords from the browser!
I'm running the stock HTC 2.1.
Any help is appreciated, I really need to get the hard reset working!
Thanks!
Got it working
Not sure what I did but I kept trying it over and over and when I booted the phone and tried phoning it I realised the ringtone was back to default, so I did eventually get the hard reset working!
Hey Friends !
My friend messed up with pattern lock of HTC DESIRE and tried many wrong pattern and now phone locked and asking gmail password to unlock, unfortunately he forgot his gmail password since no longer using gmail.
Please help any solution for this to unlock phone ?
Thanks in advance !
Sorry, if already there is related thread.
Probably the only way he can do this without losing his data is to go to gmail and use the can't access your account link to retrieve his password. Otherwise you'll have to factory reset the phone. There may be other ways which i am unsure though.
On the unlock screen, attempt to enter your unlock pattern five times. When prompted to wait for 30 seconds, tap OK. If the display goes off, press the POWER button to turn the display back on, and then press the bar on the lock screen and slide your finger down to unlock the screen. Tap the Forgot Pattern button in the lower right corner when it appears. Enter your Google Account name and password, and then tap Sign in. You are then prompted to create a new screen unlock pattern. If you no longer want to use a screen unlock pattern to secure your phone, tap Cancel.
I know u dont remember the account but maybe theres some other option there.

go to recovery > wipe data (factory reset)
If you can't get your gmail password back (through the reset function), Your only option might be unfortunately to reset the phone...

Try nandroid backup your phone and see if you can extract the data out. For recovery, turn the phone off, press Vol down while pressing the power button and press volume button to point recovery and confirm with power button.

You can also delete the gesture.key to remove the pattern lock via adb.
If USB debugging is enabled :
Code:
adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key
If not, go on recovery, mount all and delete gesture.key with adb !
Or crack it http://forensics.spreitzenbarth.de/2012/02/28/cracking-the-pattern-lock-on-android/ a bit difficult.

Hi. I have a problem with Touch Pro 2. There is stock rom, never updated. But system is behaving very bad. Even touch works only when it wants (maybe physical damage, but I want to have new WM). But installation stops at 1% and phone reboots. Problem is that I have set a password on WM. There is a problem with touch in menu, so I can't remove it. May that be the problem that this secure makes flashing even stock roms impossible? I have no free SD, so only flash via RUU.

Have you tried a hard reset? I believe it's called "Clear Storage" from settings.
Or hold talk/send + power + vol down while the device is OFF.
I can't clear storage because touch is broken in menu. That's why I want to reinstall it.

Then do my other suggestion...
But it doesn't work. It boots into bootloader. Does it work for you?

Perhaps those weren't the right keypresses...
Try this:
A Hard Reset restores the device to its default settings — the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on the device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed programs will remain.
There are 2 ways to perform a Hard Reset on this device:
Menu Path
Access the Settings Tab>All Settings>System>Clear Storage
Follow the onscreen instructions.
Keystroke Method
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN, TALK/SEND, and END/POWER buttons until you see this message on the screen.
2. This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press Vol Up to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
3. Release the VOLUME DOWN, TALK/SEND, and END/POWER buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to restore the operating system to the factory default configuration, press the VOLUME DOWN button to restore the factory default configuration and remove any operator customization, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

When the phone hold the volume up and power button turned on. The phone will reboot. When the phone is closed it does not fall into that trap black screen leaving the volume up key to releasing the power button, press the Volume down button. And select factory reset.

Do you have unlocked bootloader?
Use custom recovery twrp and aroma.zip file manger
In recovery flash aroma.zip then goes to data/system/
Find file name gesture.key and delet this file .
Reboot system then type any pattern.

Good idea but if he has locked bootloader he can't install custom recovery, and if he wants to unlock it, his data partition will be formatted in this process
