You can access HBOOT by using Power+Volume Up. Then choose factory reset.
HOWEVER
If you trip the lock enough times, it'll ask you for your google account sign in. Try this before wiping everything.

have you tried a factory reset from the hboot screen?
Normally the default pin for the phone with be the last 4 of the phone number.

Try to give the wrong answer continuously until the phone is either frozen or locked for several seconds.
After that you should find a Forget Password / Pattern button, press this button and it should bring you to a screen to input your Google account username or password (Gmail account).
This step should bypass or unlock your forgotten security protection on your HTC ONE M7.
I have never used password or pin protection, so I cannot guarantee the results.
I hope that works for you, as I do not know why a factory reset wouldn't, unless it's recognizing the phone by your number and continuing to lock you out even after a hard reset.
I wish you luck! :good:

If you were locked out from the moment you bought it, I would request a refund.
Only way it will get unlocked at this point, is by the person who locked it, sounds like.
It's possible that if it came to you this way, it might even be stolen.
Not what you wanna hear. But that's what I would do.
That's if it did in fact come to you this way.
If not, then you should be able to remember your pin.
Really don't know if there's much that anyone else can suggest.

Because a security lock on a device isn't intended to be simply bypassed by wiping the device.
That would be way too easy for thieves.

If you bought it on ebay then you should contact the seller. If you do not get any help from the seller then open a case against the seller and ebay will help you to resolve the situation. If you receive an item bought on ebay that was not as described then you have options.
The only other thing I would suggest is to go to a verizon store and see if they might have way to bypass the password.
Thanks guys, manged to unlock the screen remotely. everything is working fine and my data is safe wooooooow
Boot to download mode, I think there's a factory reset option in there. I'm going to check right now.
There is. Boot to download instead of recovery and factory reset is the very bottom option.

Please share your findings so it can help others.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.
ask someone
its better to talk to any specialist
I was using my phone like I usually do, and then it suddenly froze. So I held down the power button, forcing it to restart. Ever since, the screen only shows "Google" for a while, then becomes blank; no booting animation. It would restart itself occasionally.
I tried booting into recovery mode by holding Power+VolDown, and selecting "recovery mode". For the first few tries, it would go back to the Google screen, the turn blank. After giving it a break and trying again, I finally got to the "no command" screen, and I wiped the cache partition. Sadly, I'm still having the same problem.
Is this a bootloop? How can I fix this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This happened to me and Google sent a replacement phone. However the replacement phone is a refurbished phone that suffers from ghost touches Now trying to get a replacement for the replacement.

What's that? Is it the screen that comes up when you hold down Power+VolumeDown and gives you the option to select Start, Power Off, Restart Bootloader, or Recovery?

Yes that's the one. If u can get back to that screen you should be able to flash it back stock and re root the phone with out any problems

So are you saying that I should factory reset my phone from the recovery menu, or do I have to use the method that requires the factory image?
My phone wasn't rooted btw, so I can't re-root it.

In pretty positive that it will, make sure u unlock the Bootloader first before you do anything. Do you know how to unlock it?

The bootloader allows the phone to be unlocked to flash custom ROMs on it, without it unlocked you'll brick your phone. Read up about rooting your phone first so you can get the idea of what goes into it before attempting it. Once you get the general idea of unlocking the phone and flashing things on it, it becomes relatively easy. There's even a nexus root toolkit on this forum that you can download on your computer for free as well as "how-to's" for doing it

Wait...what?? So if I choose to factory reset my phone now without unlocking the bootloader, it might become completely useless? Is rooting necessary?

No is not necessary, but in order to re flash the factory image to fix the problem the bootloader must be unlocked. You never have to root your device but having a unlocked bootloader is essential to flashing anything on your device other wise like I said, you'll brick your phone. You can even lock it back to full stock once you've re flashed the image.
Edit: there's another way of flashing the factory image but it requires some searching. You might not be able to do it the way I'm explaining to you Because you would have to give it permission to be unlocked in the developers option while the phone is booted up and operative

When u first bought your phone and it takes you through the set up window, when it asked you to put in your email, that right there backs up all your apps that you previously had in the phone so when you go through the setup again, it's going to ask you if you want to start as a new phone or recover your previous apps. You won't be able to recover all of your data but you should be able to recover all of your apps.

Sorry bro but I wish there was.... There actually is away, but you would have have to have been rooted with a custom recovery on your phone and since you had neither, there's my other way

I'll just suck it up and reset it then. I'll let u know how it goes.
Hi everyone..
I will go into the main point directly..
firstly my phone run out of the battery then the phone slept.. I plugged the charger to get the phone powered on again...
after that the phone started and asked me for the pattern..
then I entered the pattern I save but the phone says that the pattern is wrong and I swear that pattern I use every day :laugh:
now the phone is locked and I tried to tap the "Forgot Password" button but it says that all data on the phone will be erased and that will be impossible for me :crying:
Please advice me what should I do regarding that the phone still in the warranty period!
the phone is Note 5 AI global version..
thanks in advance
If you have twrp installed then its easy to delete lock pattern. If you are stock then not so sure.. Anyways patterns dont just change, im sure you must be confusing something.
