"password unlock" window after unlocking?? screenshot, plz help me remove this
Hi guys,
I have a funny problem, I've installed lockbot and some other lock-apps as test but removed all of them except lockbot
Now when I disable lockbot I have my normal lockscreen (power button + wipe down to unlock) but now I get an extra screen where I have to enter an unlock code (which seems to be my pin code) or emergency call
I can't find back in the settings how to disable this, anybody any idea?
PS I have stock ROM with launcherpro installed
Thx

Remove it and install No Lock. Or SwitchPro Widget.
well I love lockbot except that it unlocks when receiving a call so I just want to return to my default way of unlocking (power-button + slide-down) without having to enter my pin code again
this is how it looks like, I have no idea where this is coming from
anybody any ideas what this might be?
Anyone please? I would really like to get rid of this....

Are you syncing with an Exchange server?
I've had that dialogue box when I set up my Exchange mail.
Look here (translated from Swedish)
Settings -> Security -> Set screen lock
or something similar.

yep, I use Touchdown... however I used this on my HTC Magic as well and I never had the issue on that phone. I also have a seperate window for a pincode in Touchdown itself. Also when I disable the lock completely using switchpro I don't get this message anymore. If this is coming from exchange, I should probably still get the mentionned window... anyway I can try to uninstall just to test.

don't have that... I can only
- set a pattern-lock (which doesn't work, I just get the window mentionned, when I enter my code it goes straight to my homescreen)
- enable/disable PIN code (when disabled I still get the mentionned window)
- enable visible passwords
- install certificates from sd-card
just uninstalled touchdown... no change, lockscreen remains...
anyone?

The lock is requested by the security settings within Exchange. I would suggest removing you mail account from the phone to check, unless you have access to the Exchange server or a friendly Exhcange Admin.
I've uninstalled touchdown completely but lock screen remained..

Have you tried to disable the other lock options? Go through them one by one and enable and disable them. Maybe reboot first/after.

in security settings I only have
- set a pattern-lock (which doesn't work, I just get the window mentionned, when I enter my code it goes straight to my homescreen)
- enable/disable PIN code (when disabled I still get the mentionned window)
furthermore I've uninstalled all lock-screen apps and touchdown (exchange) but that cr*ppy screen remains active
coming close to giving it up though think I'll just stick to lockbot or widgetlocker and buying a decent pouch
ehm... something I just found by accident: it doesn't matter what I enter in that lock window, it always unlocks (except when leaving blanc) !!
try this

Hi,
tried that already (forgot to mention it)
never mind guys, Widgetlocker seems to be what I'm looking in a lockscreen and it seems stable so I'll stick to that
thanks for all the tips and hints... sometimes it's just not ment to be
cheers

So, recently I put a lock on my phone (PIN lock and Password lock) and for some reason, my girlfriend has been able to get pass all of them. At first I thought I was using something too easy, like my name or our anniversary, so later on I tried a more random one that there is no way she could have known, but she also got pass that as well.
Does anyone know if there is a security flaw in our phones that allows it to bypass the password locks? I know that if I use Handcent, the popup text would show, but if you try to exit it or anything, it will go back to the password screen.
A good reason for me not to buy this phone. Lol. Maybe someone can chime in. I know the att one has a flaw.

I know that the pattern locks on my HTC EVO often can be bypassed by swiping the wrong pattern. I've seen this happen on my SGS2 as well. I haven't used the PIN or password security but maybe they have a similar problem.
Nope, the security on the SGS2 after a couple tries prevents you from trying again for 30 seconds, but it does not let you login via Gmail after any number of attempted tries, which makes me wonder what would you do if you forgot your password...besides a master reset.
how about you just ask her how shes getting past it lol

I've seen a video about this on YouTube. I think if you press the home button while on the lockscreen it bypasses it. Check on YouTube and you'll find the video of a guy demonstrating this.

That works only when there is no password lock and you have to press the home button twice to bring up voice command. I tried it with password lock an it doesnt work.

Then Idk how she's doing it. Maybe she just knows your password.

Gmail login does not popup after any number of tries and I created the most random password (agmekt56) and unless she's psychic, there's no way she could have known.
She may be a tech ninja.lmafo
Figured it out... Take a screenshot. Then sweep the screen. I was just amazed that it worked myself. Feel free to hit the thanks button. Hahaha #fail. Can't wait to try it on coworkers tomorrow!!!

The only way for her to be able to get through either your Password, Pattern or PIN code is either if she knows it or takes a screen shot of it. So unless there is some sort of flaw in your software there's no other way. I've been trying this all morning and you get the 30 second unlock, then some amount of minutes and eventually you will hard lock the phone.
I don't know, I'll try to get it out of her haha. Cause theres no way she can know cause I made the password as random as I can.
I can get into my phone without a PIN after I receive a text message. Maybe she's getting in that way?

Do you have some sort of customization on your phone? because I have tried that as well and it did not unlock my phone at all. I sent two text from my Motorola Atrix to my Samsung Galaxy S II and the pin code was not bypassed at all. I tried it with each one individually Pattern, Pin, Password and none of them were bypassed by receiving an e-mail, text nor a missed call notification.
Figured it out!
Okay, so I figured it out. It's not a security flaw in the SGS2 itself, but more from handcent. When I get a text from handcent, it automatically pops up with the text message on my screen (quick text) and also unlock my screen. It is only supposed to unlock it when viewing the message, but after I reply to the message it should automatically relock my screen. But, this is not the case with the SGS2, when I get a text the message will pop up, but when I reply to it, it brings me to the unlock screen but when I swipe to unlock, it does not ask for the PIN/password.
So if any of you guys are using Handcent, I would turn the pop up feature off.
Hey!
Changed my lock screen pin today, but apparently entered it wrong (twice?) so it wasn't what I thought it would be...
How do I go about unlocking it? I really don't wanna reset the device or install a new rom!
My Galaxy Nexus is rooted, I have gmail pw, ADB access and pin code...
Please help fast!
Thank you
I believe of you get it wrong a few times it will ask for your Gmail and password. If you enter it you should be able to get in. If not I remember an app in the market to bypass it but i don't know the name of it... search something along the lines of "pin/password bypass"

I have setup my phone for Screen Unlock. Unfortunately, I have forgotten the PIN I set as an alternative. I can still get onto my phone, but I can't change the PIN as, obviously, it requires you to enter the PIN that was set. I'm doing a nandroid restore to hopefully see if this works. Any way to change it without nandroid or restoring to factory settings for future reference?
Simply enter your pin wrong a couple of times (on the login) and it should ask you to login with your Google account instead allowing you to change or remove the pin.
What the guy above me said. Try to log in multiple times and it will prompt you to enter your gmail password.

This doesn't seem to work. I've tried entering the wrong password on the lockscreen multiple times and all it says is 'Try again.'.

it should but you'll have type it in wrong a bunch of times, wait the 30 seconds for it to let you try again and keep doing it til it asks for the gmail password, I think it was after the 30 minute timer that it'll ask for the password
Edit: Nevermind what I'd said, I just tried it with mine and got up to 100 wrong passwords and it still won't let me use the gmail password.
I made the the mistake of activating the lockscreen password feature of my Galaxy Note 2 and now I can't seem to deactivate the feature. When trying to turn off screen lock password/pattern, all options (Swype, motion, face unlock, face and voice, None) are disbled (greyed out) but the only active options are Pattern, Pin and Password. The grayed out options are written "disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage"
Anyone know why its like this? How to go around this problem? By the way, I am using all stock.
Go to security-device administrators,uncheck if any app is there as admin.

You sure either using a VPN or exchange email with high security settings. Get rid of that and you'll be able to remove lock pattern
