Hello...small problem, and hopeful for a solution...
Wife's phone has broken screen...and of course photos she wants to export (which were not previously backed up). Connect to USB, open Zune, and as expected I get the 'phone is locked' message.
Since I can't see/use the screen...is there any other way I can get access to entering my pin? I'll take a pin or no pin solution at this point...any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
KG

Hi,
I can not recall my password; kinda silly but real...
I don't want to make a hard reset and loose my son's pictures at his graduation ceremony.
Any recommendation?
Youy should be able to hook the phone up to your cradle & then browse using activesync to transfer all your wanted files onto your PC before you hard reset. Even if you only manage to sync as a guest, not a peer, file browsing should still work from the PC
Thanks for your response..
When I get connected via cradle, I get a message like "this mobile device is password protected. In order to connect to the device, you must enter its password."
So, I can not browse.
I feel like I need to hack my own device..

There are only 4 digits.. maybe u can try all the combo.... :roll:
Earlier, it used to give a message telling it was the wrong password, when I enter directly from the device.
Now, it does not give any response, just waits.. I have soft reset device each time or reseat it to cradle to reactive ActiveSynch.
I wonder if it is blocked or not.. I might be trying hopelessly..
i'm facing the similar issue...
would a hard reset do the trick?
i think so.
you don't have nothing to loss.
same probelm
hey people,
i'm with the same problem i tried an alphanumeric password and now i cant get it right.. I tried to do the hard reset but i think i'm doing the soft reset. In the manual says to hold the power button and press reset. I did this millions times and stills asks for the device password!!
can anyone help me?
In case that this wont work is there anything i can do? developing it to the factory or something?
thx in advance..
Hey.... face the truth...
Hardreset it...
My Grandpa' told me long time ago....
"Isn't good to have all the eggs on the same basket"
Thanks Grandpa... i always record in two cameras, or imediatly synced my data for backup...
Oh yes... Skynight...
Does you have the original for BA manual? i mean maybe if you google a little or read the wiki pages can found how to perform a hardreset... or maybe i become a great guy and tell you where it is.... mmmm im hungry search please.
plz help me man..the manual says power and reset. i searched on forum and they said camera+power+reset would do it. when i do that way i only get a white screen with something written on it..I only had the pda for a couple of hours and it's my first pda, i'm kinda new in this "world".
can u tell me the right way to do it? In a electronic store it costs 50€ and i dont wanna pay that
thx

Hi,
I just installed the SMS Hotfix as I didn't find from reading posts that it caused any new or different problems.
However, upon reboot my Touch Pro 2 will now stay locked and it will not recognise my 4digit password !!!!
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance

I hope you have your personal info backed up. If the device no longer recognizes your PIN, the only recourse is to hard reset. This is a problem of WM. It's not common, but it does happen more often than it should. If you can, I would recommend using a different lock screen, like S2U2. That way, if it ever "forgets" your PIN, there's still a way around it.
Well most of the stuff is on the memory card, but I only updated about 60 names into my contacts list hours before and I didn't get a chance to back those up!!!
Incidentally, Vodafone told me to go into any store and ask them for a new SIM card to see if this would fix it. Will this method actually work?

No. The Vodafone rep probably thought you meant a SIM PIN lock. It is possible to require a PIN for sending calls. If that is your problem, then a new SIM will fix it. If it is the device PIN that lets you into the phone, then a hard reset is your only recourse, unfortunately. Once you get it back up and running, I'd still suggest using S2U2 to avoid this problem again. The only reason to use the WM PIN lock is if your Exchange account requires it.
Hi guys, I've found an HTC Wildfire S this morning at the train station. IT has locked SIM and locked Screen. Tried to look in the SD card but there'snothing useful.
Debug USB is not enabled so I can't navigate the system folders to find any clue. What do you suggest to help me find the owner out?
Why didn't you just hand it over to the police?

That's the last option. I trust more myself
No, the reason is that is much easyer for the owner if I can directly call him. And also often the loss of a low budget device is not reported to the police, so the owner will never find it.
Just some months ago I forgot my phone on a train and a guy called with it my mum and I was ablo to retrieve it in a couple of days!
try installing the sim card to other phone and see if it works than just wait for the owner to call on that number...
Or
you can make a nandroid backup and extract that backup using your pc find the social apps like facebook or tweeter and you will find the account info for the owner and you can send the message to that account that you have found the phone or whatever you want to send...

Take it to the carrier store. They will contact them and i think they might even give reward or something. I believe carriers used to.

You should be able to see what the network is from the SIM - I'd contact them really. Whoever lost the phone is going ot have to contact them so would be able to get the phone back that way. You could also leave a note with your contact details at the lost property at the train station.
Then contact the service provider of the phone. They will have a record of the device serial number and IMEI, and will know the owner of the phone.
Edit: too slow

The SIM is locked, so it's no use.

Power off the device, remove and replace the battery, boot into hboot by pressing volume- and power, --wait-- use volume keys to select recovery. You should now be able to use adb stuff even though usb debugging is disabled. I'm not sure, but it's worth a try. I still think the best option is to return the phone to the carrier.
I think if i lost my phone id be a little upset at someone going so far as a nandroid of my stuff even if trying to return to me. Id just take it to carrier. It's a guarantee it gets to the person. They usually have an email or alternate contact for the person.
There will be a serial no on the Sim Card, so that the carrier people will easily identify the owner. (Same thing for the phone also)
**Much simple**.
So like the title says, my dad locked his Lg G5. The Android Secure-Startup is currently at 9/10 attempts left to before all the data on the phone is lost. He hasn't used this phone in about over a year which means it's no longer in service and not connected to the internet. The phone is completely stock, I do not know what version of android he last installed on it, and I believe I only have access to the phone through Recovery and Download mode. Is there anyway I get can remove the pattern without having to perform a hard reset to the phone, my dad doesn't want to lose any of the pictures he has on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sadly you are out of luck most likely. You would need to resort to the sort of law enforcement phone encryption unlock methods that we all heard about how fbi wanted apple to bypass the lock screen for the san bernadino killer? It's not impossible but It will require a lot more resource than you can get on here ;(
If anyone got something else they can offer, i am sure it would be welcome... but my guess is not. ;(
Is there any legit way i can unlock this device my phone is lock on pattern i can't bypass the password settings and i dont want to reset it i have too much important files on this device and i dont think usb debugging is on and i lost the sim card
I have to fix the screen my phone is shattered if anyone could help me thru this let me know im trying my best and also does anyone know how to unlock an ipad? im stuck on icloud lock
