Does anyone have knowledge of resetting the access control pattern
It is not the lockscreen, it enables me access to certain applications I have locked.
I am using MIUI ROM. Any help it's greatly appreciated. I am unable to access my messaging on the phone.
Thank you
Sean

Ok guys. This might sound a bit loopy but I am unable to unlock my Evo using screen gestures. I stupidly changed the sensitivity to "9"(more strict. I had it at 3 when I built the gestures. I have access to through adb. Is there anyway to disable the screen gesture lockscreen through adb and/or enable the rotary/slider lockscreen using adb on windows? Or is it possible to wipe my current cm input settings in adb? I don't want to wipe! I have cm6.1.1 nightly 203/12-23-10. Please help.
...ok. then. Is there anyway to RE-ENABLE the menu button to unlock using android then? Or enable the slide to unlock using adb?
Do you have a recent nandroid from before you changed this? If so, go ahead and wipe and just restore your nandroid...

With all the talk of police being able to access your phone, I looked in to the options.
I found I could use the following options....
1) unlock password.
bypassed by: if the police dont have your PIN or unlock pattern, Google can be required to provide your email ID/PW to enable unlock
2) encrypted phone
bypassed by: I am unsure how this can be bypassed. If encryption is turned on, I know it breaks CWM, but is there any way to get by it w/o knowing the PIN? Is there any reset besides a wipe of the phone, which would clear any P.I.I. on the phone, wouldn't it?
3) recovery
bypassed by: if you cant get in to the phone, and choose instead to boot into recovery, you can get access to the phones data, but how much access? If you encrypted your data, will this bypass anything? Will the data still be encrypted.
What I would love to see possible, is a PIN for recovery that is a stand alone item with no way to reset it. I know this mean you would have to ODIN if you every forgot it, but if you are more concerned about protecting your data, than data loss, this would be a non-issue, as long as your data is protected
So, is the recovery lock even needed? does encrypting your data and your SD card get the protection needed to prevent access to your phone by authorities, even with Google's help?
I would love to see some security and developers views on this, and on how "safe" you can make your phone if you go all out.
No ideas anyone?
If not.. any ideas where I can go look for answers?

what would kind of be an example of what your trying to hide from the cops? there is an app or a couple apps that can literally hide your data, and unless they knew the back door functionality of the apps, they would be able to access much data. i use a couple of them.

It was less about hiding specific data, and more about locking down your phone in general, as in what was possible.
I was interested in how well it could be done, what would need to be put in place, and how secure it really was.
Hi
I have called Sprint and searched the internet but to no avail. I'm running non rooted stock. I try to change the wallpaper to another stock wallpaper and get this message every time......"security policy restricts changing wallpaper".
Sprint has no idea how to fix this and either do I. I'm just trying to use another pre installed wallpaper. Any ideas how to fix this strange problem without rooting would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
turn in for warranty

I would install goo manager use it to install twrp and make a back up and then install a stock rooted rom .... you can use titanium or rom toolbox to back up apps ...

Have you tried a wipe via recovery. It sounds like Safe Mode but there should be indicators for that lol. I am assuming you havnt played with administrators and erased something so yeah. Start with wipe and go from there.

Is there way to bypass the pin lock screen without losing my data? I don't have Android Device Manager installed. I can't factory reset because there's baby pictures and the such that hasn't been backed up yet. Any help will be appreciated.

Sorry but no, if you forget the pin their is nothing that can be done but reset the device. Their are cloud services for backing up pictures and important documents. I recommend you use them. It's for your own good, You would be happy if you lost the phone knowing no one could access you personal stuff because you protected it with a PIN
So my roommate was drunk and set up a lockscreen swipe password and can't remember it. Is there a way to get past it without a full reset? Tried using Android device manager but not working. Any help would be great. Phone is also unlocked and rooted. Thanks

You might be able to delete locksettings.db in recovery. That should clear out the pin. Used to have to do that on 6p after a restore.
