Help, can't enter my phone with password

I went ahead and secured my phone with a password "sher" specifically. (if you understand the reference, you're awesome) and when I tried putting the password it says its incorrect.
What do I do?

nevermind, for some reason it still had my last password even though it was a pin number, weird.

Can't change screen lock (set by an application)

UPDATE: Solution found
I was able to get the administrator of the "Good" application at my company to push out a policy for android users to force a longer password. This forced a new password when I opened the application and corrected the problem.
Maybe this will help someone in the future.
I installed an app (Good for Enterprise) to be able to access work email/etc. During setup it required me to set a device password. I set it, through the Good application, but only set it to a 2 character password. I have since uninstalled the application and now I can not change my password. When I attempt to change it I am alerted that password must be 4 characters. Thankfully the device still locks and unlocks with the 2 character password but I was hoping to change it.
Can I mod a file directly to change password or full in thinking it is not set?
Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] Recover the desktop backup password?

Hi folks,
My Desktop backup password in Develop Options seems to be set on my S3 running Jelly Bean, although I don't remember ever setting it. When I try to set it or change it, I always get the message "Failed to set backup password", even if I'm trying to set it back to a blank password.
Does anyone know how to recover or reset this password?
Thanks for any help,
ianc

Bump. Anyone know?

I'm also having this same problem.
EDIT: I fixed it by placing the same password twice in the "new password" and "confirm password" fields, and left the "current password" blank. That set the password for me, and I was able to get my stuff to work.

Thanks Thasso,
I tried that but am still getting the 'failed to set backup password' message, so I can only assume my password is already set but I don't know what it is.
Hence, I need to know how to recover it. Thanks,
ianc

bump. Anyone? Please?

I have the same problem with my Galaxy Note 2. ANYONE have an answer?!

[Q] Phone not usable what do I do to fix it

Ok, the issue is that I forgot my password for my phone so it took me to the screen where you can either enter a backup pin, which I forgot, or your google details which I remember. The thing is my phone still says invalid username/password despite me changing the password on my computer to something else and double checking the username. this means my phone is useless as I can't use it. what do I do to fix this issue!

Changing lock screen password returns to lock screen; Locked out

So I have got kind of a strange buggy problem. I have an LG G4 with Android 6.0. I recently encrypted my phone with the standard Android encryption method. I used a six character password for this. After about a month my phone prompted that I had to change my password because it had expired. I must change the password in order to gain entry to the phone. So, I click 'change password', type in my old password, click continue and then it returns me to the lock screen?! Locked! It never actually lets me change my password. So I'm kinda stuck.
I tried using software like dr.fone to gain entry to at least save my files, but my phones default pc connection setting is charging and since I can't gain entry, I can't set it to MTP sharing. So I can't even gain entry through my PC.
Is this a known bug? I couldn't find anything on the internet about this. Anybody have any idea? I know I can just factory reset, but I really want to try saving my files. There's some pretty important stuff on my phone.
Thanks in advance,
Greetings,
Luca

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Bootloader is locked I assume.
So your phone will not let you log in until you change the password but will not let you change the password
