Pattern Lock - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I have forgotten Pattern Lock .. Now email address and password is required to sign in.
I enter correct email and password but cannot sign in. I am using the same email and password on PC but is not working now on my phone.
Is their any way without factory reset.. ???

Yes,
Get into bootloader by switching ON your phone and holding the volume down button
You can then find a FACTORY RESET there. Orientate by volume buttons and confirm by power button.

do a hard reset , the only drawback is it will wipe out everything with it. instruction should be in wiki somewhere good luck 2 you
i can't find in wiki section how reset dash t-mobile ??????
If the lock message is NOT "Enter PIN and press Done" when phone is turned on, the following should work.
Phone is off
Press and Hold both soft keys
Press and Hold the Power button for 1-2 seconds
Release Power Button
Don't release Soft Keys
It will give you a prompt to hard reset.
This will not clear a SIM PIN wich will require a PUK recovery procedure.

Locked out of my phone after setting password in Kavana 6.1 :(

I changed my password after upgrading to an alpha numeric.
the last digit in my password is 1
however, the keyboard wont let be type the number 1 in the password field.
It let me type it when I set the password, but now it won't, and I am completely locked out of my phone. can't sync, battery removal fails....
does anybody have any ideas? I really need my phone...
no numbers will work at all in the unlock field. now it says "several incorrect pw's have been used, enter a1b2c3 to continue... would a hard reset work?
ok I fixed it lol...
for those of you that run into the same issue... DO NOT reset your phone.
on the unlock screen, you have to press alt then the number, rather than holding the key down and waiting for the number to appear.
LMAO !!!

Dang. That would SUCK if your alt button didn't work! I hate to hard reset unless absitively posolutely necessary...
I ran into a similar problem. I entered a numeric password but unfortunately I forgot the password! I've tried several different number but cannot seem to figure it out! Is there any way I can reset my phone so that I could bypass the password?

This will delete all the data on the phone, but will allow you to use it. From the HTC website:
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
Press and hold the VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN and END CALL/POWER buttons.
When you see a warning message on screen, press the VOLUME DOWN button to perform the factory reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
After factory reset is complete, press the VOLUME DOWN button to restart your phone.

Phone locked with pattern lock

Hey Friends !
My friend messed up with pattern lock of HTC DESIRE and tried many wrong pattern and now phone locked and asking gmail password to unlock, unfortunately he forgot his gmail password since no longer using gmail.
Please help any solution for this to unlock phone ?
Thanks in advance !
Sorry, if already there is related thread.
Probably the only way he can do this without losing his data is to go to gmail and use the can't access your account link to retrieve his password. Otherwise you'll have to factory reset the phone. There may be other ways which i am unsure though.
On the unlock screen, attempt to enter your unlock pattern five times. When prompted to wait for 30 seconds, tap OK. If the display goes off, press the POWER button to turn the display back on, and then press the bar on the lock screen and slide your finger down to unlock the screen. Tap the Forgot Pattern button in the lower right corner when it appears. Enter your Google Account name and password, and then tap Sign in. You are then prompted to create a new screen unlock pattern. If you no longer want to use a screen unlock pattern to secure your phone, tap Cancel.
I know u dont remember the account but maybe theres some other option there.

Try nandroid backup your phone and see if you can extract the data out. For recovery, turn the phone off, press Vol down while pressing the power button and press volume button to point recovery and confirm with power button.

You can also delete the gesture.key to remove the pattern lock via adb.
If USB debugging is enabled :
Code:
adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key
If not, go on recovery, mount all and delete gesture.key with adb !
Or crack it http://forensics.spreitzenbarth.de/2012/02/28/cracking-the-pattern-lock-on-android/ a bit difficult.

When the phone hold the volume up and power button turned on. The phone will reboot. When the phone is closed it does not fall into that trap black screen leaving the volume up key to releasing the power button, press the Volume down button. And select factory reset.

Do you have unlocked bootloader?
Use custom recovery twrp and aroma.zip file manger
In recovery flash aroma.zip then goes to data/system/
Find file name gesture.key and delet this file .
Reboot system then type any pattern.

Good idea but if he has locked bootloader he can't install custom recovery, and if he wants to unlock it, his data partition will be formatted in this process
