[Q] override exchange pin/password policy

Has anyone come across a hack to override the exchange pin/password policy on the phone?

There is Lockpicker. However, it does not work with Froyo, unless installed before the update.

Thanks. Sadly I need it on 2.2

Do you need it for your email? I guess yes, there is a thread with a hacked email apk at nexus section.

The easiest way for me: dial *#*#7594#*#*, check the box and that's it. There is still remote administration, but the phone won't ask you for any password each time you turn the screen on

I tried that but nothing happened. Actually, when I try to dial that as soon as I type the last * it disappears, so I can't even "call" that.

disable PIN request for exchange email?

Hi All,
I wondered if there was any app available to remove the PIN or password requirement from your phone while having exchange email sync'd?
Even if i could change to the pattern unlock i would be happy
thanks

Hmm, I simply set-up exchange, then disabled PIN and no probs

in that case pin-unlock is not a requirement for your exchange server i have the option of PIN or password. I cannot select none or anything else!

Forgot Password For Cell

Hello
I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S2 [NOT updated to ICS, still running on gingerbread]
last night I put a password or pin on the phone under the security section, but now I cannot remember it. I asked T-mobile if they could reset it, however, the only thing they offered to do was guide me through a factory reset, which I do not want to do.
Is there any way to retrieve the password/pin?
thanks
PS - Pls don't tell me to reset the phone, as i already have been given that option

Reset the phone. Jk if u type it in wrong 5 times in a row a new option will appear that says forgot password. Then just sign in ur Google account and thats it

thank for the reply!
unfortunately, I did that so many times but the only message it is giving is "You have incorrectly entered your PIN 5(10, etc) times. Please try again in 30 seconds."
the option to get it via email seems to have disappeared!

Flash ics through odin...You won't lose any media. You will lose everything else though.
Or factory reset...those are your only options at this point. Unless you see a button on your local screen that says forgot password then you can enter your gmail. But other then that, not much anybody can do as far as i know

What are you afraid to lose?
If you can figure out which file is the security file and all that... I guess you can always flash/push a "stock" one to it, which should remove the password. This is only theoretical. I don't know which file it is either.

I'd say think harder lol. How do you forget a password you made, within a day?

Usually you don't... its called being shady and might not be his phone or possibly a found or stolen device.
Most of us on here have our stuff backed up and a factory reset isn't a big deal. Now some of us don't have our apps backed up, but have our contacts and such backed up thru Google. Every time I see these threads they generally get shut down by a mod..

LOL Shady is what I was thinking right after I read it..

I got locked out of my phone because my son was playing with it. It's asking for google account. I put in the google account and password but still doesn't take it. Can I bypass the google and pin code without losing data?

Predicament: Sold Pixel, phone asking buyer for my Google account login

Hello, as I am now aware after the fact, I did a lock boot loader 'factory' reset thinking that wiped he phone, I sold it, and now I guess it needs my login to proceed. Question 1 is, is there any bypass for this? 2. Is there a safe way to temporarily give him a temp password or something? Appreciate your help
I do have 2 step verify turned on

If you change you password now, he will have to wait 72 hours. So you could do that and you could give it to him over the phone, give him about two seconds to enter it and then you change it on your end.
Or you could do it with your current password, but you probably used it elsewhere.
But that is risky. He could just log in via computer and change it and own your account.
Can you meet him in person?
Or he sends it back to you.
Those are the only options I know of.

I've been in the same situation with previous my phone. My way around it was to enable 2-Step Authentication and give him my password and approve the login on my end immediately after that, I changed my password and didn't have to worry about him accessing anything from there.?

There is a workaround out there for marshmallow that may work on Nougat. I won't link it though, sorry. But if you search hard enough...
It's a security thing.

My daughter tapped my screen at the end adding the question mark lol but yeah, worked great. And once I changed the password, it logs the phone out. I of course had the password change ready at a click while reading him my old password.

Cant he just log in to his google account and go to his list of devices and remove that device from his google account ? If he removed it from his google account should not someone else be able to add their google account to it ? I"am curious on this to as I will be selling my one pixel xl as I got a 128 to replace it.
On Htc devices normally you can do a RUU and it will put it back to 100% stock removing your google account, but yeah this is no Htc unfortunately it is but its not lol.

None of that will work.
It's called FRP. Factory Reset Protection. It is to stop exactly what you describe if someone steals it. Can't reset it and use it. You have to manually remove the Google account before you reset it and sell it.

Well yeah that is a given I figured besides removing your account from the device you had to log in to google.com and remove the device id from your google account on line.

I believe it will work. If he logs in to his google account on his computer he can find the devices attached to his account and remove that device id from his google account then the guy that bought the phone can remove his google account from the phone and put his own google account on the phone. The guy just needs to remove the device id off of his google account on line then the purchaser can add his own google account.

There's not a single response from original poster. I would give this one a wide berth with respect to suggestions by community dogooders.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I guess no bypass exists for the latest version of Nougat, I offered to pay shipping both ways so that I can properly wipe the phone, but he doesn't trust I will send it back?..hmmm..
Under devices in my Google Account I can "Remove account access", what will this do, this almost sounds like it will solve the problem but Im not sure exactly what this means. Will it not allow that phone to access my account any more or will it un-attach my account from the phone so that He can use it? Thanks again for all your help, lots of good suggestions
Edit: Im going to try Rydah's method...2 step verify, give pword, authorize from my phone, then change password back

I"am not sure what that is, but didnt you have a sec tion that listed attached devices ? I have had that option on my google account and I did physically remove a phone that I was selling. I believe it was like a year ago. If you cant find it maybe you can get support from google such as online support. Honestly I think the option to remove the device is in your account settings when logged in to your google account through a browser such as google chrome or firefox.

Next time, remove any screen lock security on the phone, reboot, then do your factory reset. This will allow anyone to setup the used phone under their credentials.

That alone will NOT bypass FRP. He has to remove his Google Account under Settings > Accounts before doing a factory reset. After that, I always go back and make sure I can set the phone up while skipping the Google Account login.

^^^^

You would think they would implement a feature that allows you to remove the lock remotely. For example with icloud's find my iPhone you can go to iCloud.com and remove a device if you want to.

Flash-all.bat before you sell the phone and all will be well. Hopefully you do this going forward for anew new sales, lol.

Can't you just remote wipe the phone from the android device manager webpage?

Question Dodging "Unauthorized Reset"

Hey everyone!
I've come into a somewhat complicated situation. Somebody close to me gave their password away to their email account. Very bad idea. Lost access to his phone and went out to buy a new one. Unfortunately this man logs into the same compromised email on the new phone. In between logging in on the second phone and now, the person he gave the info to has changed the passwords on his accounts and he can no longer get into his device.
What I want to know is if I flash a stock rom back onto the phone, does this bypass the "unauthorized reset" that requires a sign in on the old account? I was fairly sure it would be fine until I opened ODIN and it told me that not having the old password could cause problems. As of right now I can't find a way onto this phone. It hasn't even had the plastic peeled off yet and I can't find a way to get into the device.
A bit of a dire situation, Any help would be greatly appreciated.
