reset password - About xda-developers.com

Why do I have to reset my password every time I visit this site.
Every time I do it I tell it to save my password and the next time I try and download a file it says I need to log-in. Then when I do it says my password is wrong and I have to reset it.

short of either hard reset from boot loader , or reflash firmware, once security locks are placed in the software if they are corrupted or changed and forgotten you cannot bypass them.
if this is a sim card pin, then after 3 fails then will ask for PUK code of which you can get from your network provider
hope that helps
note: if hard reset or reflash all data will be lost, so hopefully you have sync'd with your pc at least 1 time and it backed up your contacts and basic data from my documents

It happened with me once but the device unlocked when I entered my google username and password(and amazingly without any data connection)..
I think it matches the username and password stored in the device(used 2 connect 2 android market,2 sync data etc) to verify(may be thats why it didn't need any data connection..
try this :
-->If u use any different password along with your google account username to connect to 'htc hub' and/or 'htc likes' try those(i don't remember which i used)..
-->try entering null as password. (together with your google username)
-->try entering your username without @gmail.com
-->use both of above two steps together
-->try changing ur google account password via computer and try again..
-->go to htcsense.com and click forget password under sign in and reset ur password following the link sent to ur gmail and then try again
-->Call yourself from another phone, answer, without hanging up press the home button, then menu button, settings, try to disable pattern-lock or change pattern
-->Call yourself from another phone, answer, hang-up, directly after hanging up start pressing your buttons like a madman for <30-60 seconds ending with your home button (might take a while to get the timing right). Go into settings and disable pattern-lock.
-->try first 4 steps without the sim..
other than these saving ur data on devices internal memory will be difficult..factory reset phone or contact service centre(who will also probably factory reset ur phone)..well !! Best of Luck..:fingers-crossed:
If you created device specific password for your phone through "google 2-step verification", you have to enter that password instead of your actual google password...
just restart ur phone nd try ur pattern again.. thats it....

Never had to try it, but google search found this:
The password is stored on plain text in this file "/data/data/com.android.mms/shared_prefs/com.android.mms.categoryInfo.xml" either read it or delete the file to reassert the password. Deleting the file will not affect the secure box messages in anyway.

Bypass google account help!

i need help to bypass google account.
Let me help you out here. If you did an untrusted reset (Reset via recovery or ##786# or reset device with google account still on) and then changed your password. You are locked out for 24 hours. It may keep saying "Please enter in the google account on this phone" if you know you have the right account and did an untrusted reset, and reset your password you will have to wait 24 hours before the phone wll let you log back in. It's called android factory reset protection and it cannot be bypassed. There used to be methods but as far as I'm aware these methods have been patched.

Question Second space issue

I have a second space issue, and i hope someone can help me out. i have pictures of my deceased grandmother in my second space, but the problem is that when i enter my password it shows "too many incorrect attempts and 85000 seconds to try again. i go back and try again the correct password same message and the second still on countdown. there is " forgot password" and it doesnt give any options except to how to wipe the data. Is there any other way to retrieve picture through the phone on a laptop or i should root it so i have complete acces? thank you any advice would be extremely appriciated
How long do you wait between attempts?
Also, did you try this?
https://c.mi.com/thread-1430128-1-0.html
when i enter my correct password its shows the message with wrong attempts and starts at 85000 seconds, if i try again in a minute its 84940 seconds. so i though 85k second is almost 24 hours, so i waited 24 hours and then it starts at 85000 seconds again.
Is resetting the password as the link I posted suggested an option?
there is no forgot password option, even before entering password. i had it twice that forgot password showed up, i click on it and then it suggests how to wipe data, no other option as suggested in your link
Well, I guess getting root is your best option then.
Make sure the bootloader is unlocked before attempting anything
but would you know where these files (pictures) might be located from the second space? or maybe try to delete password of second space so it would be possible to access? Thank you for your time and advice
No, I don't know. But I can guess if you like.
However it is probably protected, so you might need root.
Try looking under /storage/emulated, possibly under /mnt/user.
okay i will try that, appriciate your help)
