More details? Rooted, or installed any custom mods or etc? Try factory reset, if else not working then you will have to flash your firmware again.

Thanks for the response. I'm a novice - how do I find out if the phone is Rooted? How do I do a factory reset? Or, where can I find information on these issues?

Alright, if like that means you haven't play anything on your phone yet, To resolve that, go to Settings > Backup and reset > factory reset your device.
Warning all apps will be lose your apps and all will be reset to default. (*just like you have newly bought your phone)
You can backup your SMS messages using SMS Backup & Restore app. Search for it in Playstore, If you want to backup your contacts, just export your contacts to SD card.

Or, you can try remove all your account and add them again then disable the Sync, See if it helps, if not, try reset your phone. If you are very unlucky even after reset the problem still presist, you should sent to Samsung Service Centre, maybe is hardware related issue.
Hello everyone.
Somehow I managed to lock myself out of my own phone using the pincode screen lock. I've tried a few trouble shooting solutions which I found online, including downloading something from my computers google play store. Nothing seems to be working and I was wondering if anyone here knew how to help me out?
I've using a sprint galaxy s3 with cm-10.2.0-RC1 mod and I can still access TWRP.
Thanks for any help you can offer!
unfortunately your only option is probably a factory reset, cache and dalvik wipe.
you can do a backup first, reset and probably then restore data for your apps and their data, that probably doesn't include the pin settings which would be saved in the system settings (I would think)
Have you tried using your Google account to recover your lock code?

You might try using an app like MyBackupPro and do a selective backup of apps and their data and not use the recovery restore.
Only thing I could find on pin and google account was for wallet and voice, admittedly I didn't spend more than a few minutes googling it. Figured I'd take a look as well, for ya.
Good luck
EDIT: there is an app for that https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.thomascannon.screenlockbypass.pro&hl=en

According to Google, if you enter a bad pattern 5 times you should see an option for "forgot pattern," which you can use to log into your Google account and bypass the lockscreen.

that's what I thought too, but I'm thinking cyanogenmod disables this feature. Its told me on numerous occasions "you got the password wrong 15 times, please wait 30 seconds then try again"

Hm. No idea there, but if that's the case then perhaps it's possible that there is a way to flash a patch to restore that functionality.

Flash this in recovery. Phone will be unlocked on boot. This is safe to use on ANY phone where u cannot pass the screen lock. Made by me so please don't do nothing unethical with it

worked like a charm. you sir, are amazing. thank you!
Thanks for the bypass alternative, Billard.
As an epilogue to this thread, I'd like to share a discovery. It turns out that there IS an option for "forgot password," but if you use a PIN instead of a Pattern with a PIN backup then you'll never know. It's squarely centered at the bottom of the screen if you get your pattern wrong too many times and don't decide to use your backup PIN.
Basically, some (I'm going to guess) intern had this bright idea for increasing security... And so what we've wound up with are two neighboring options on the scale of security levels: the PIN option with zero official redundancies, or the Pattern+PIN option with its TWO redundancies. Why the pattern gets more outs than the Mets on any given day, while the PIN is as rigid and unforgiving as a Catholic school matron, I can't begin to fathom. Go figure, huh?
Maybe somebody who's a lot smarter than I am can figure out how to copy that function and incorporate it into the rest of the lock options for future ROMs.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it,

Are you rooted?
If not, backup your data and do a factory reset.
No i am not rooted. This is my first android phone and i have a lot of apps and contacts on my phone. How can i save them before resetting the device ?
Thanks
In case you're actually in need of a factory reset you can sync your contacts & apps to your Google account. Probably they are already there. You can also check the LG backup & reset in Settings.

You can use SuperBackup App from the market. Here is the link --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts&hl=en
With this u can backup Contact,SMS, Apps (w/o data).
As the multitasking button is a softkey, so i believe its a software based issue and 90% chances are that Factory reset should solve your problem.
Try this and revert back.
Thank you very much this has worked !
Hello again guys,
So i've done factory reset .and all and as i mentioned before everything returned to normal...for a week! And this problem occured once again and i really don't want to do any reset again.

Hi fellows,
So i bought that S810 beast and i am fully enjoying it
Only one of a sudden, i found a bug which i thought it might not be that annoying, but it turned out to be freaking me out
I can not remove the lockscreen protection back to the normal slide lockscreen for an unknown reason that i failed to discover.
It says,
Disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have nothing in the administrators, my internal storage is not encrypted and i haven't touched that credential thing!
So i guess that the only way out is to "clear the credential storage"
Now the question is, is there any way out of this problem rather than factory reseting the phone or clearing the credentials?? If not, then can anybody tell me what are the side effects of deleting the credential certificates ? AFAIK it affects VPN stuff, which i never used on my phone and i am sure i won't use it! Are there any other side effects?
P.S. I am not rooted no need to void my warranty, yet
Thank You!

Well this issue was there before i install the apps
Only android device manager was there once i detected the incident
However i will try to remove them and see if there is anything changed
You could also reboot into safe mode, see if that solves the problem (which would indicate that an installed app is the source). To go into safe mode, press and hold the power button until the power menu appears and the touch & hold 'power off' until prompted to reboot into safe mode.

Navigate to /data/system/password or gesture (Pattern) and delete that entry depending on what type of password you have, reboot done.
If you are unable to get into the phone you will be able to do this using the file manager within TWRP.
PS: Not 100% if it'll fix the isse due to an app locking down the phone but it certainly removes the pin / pattern or password from your phone, so should work.

Ah i see, sorry mate, then no you need root access to be able to see lower level files.
In all fairness, I would say to back up your data and flash another ruu / rom, or even factory reset the device and be careful what you install, I'm assuming that it's something to do with an app you have installed or an email which needs to lock down your device.
I would do that, back up, wipe and go lightly with the installing of apps until you find the culprit, if that doesn't work then I would flash another RUU.
But I imagine it will.

click thanks instead of saying it fella Glad you're back up and running.
Actually it turned out to be even better with Smart Lock options like trusted devices "when connected to my bluetooth speakers/handsfree" and trusted place "put my home address here" and also turned on the "body detection"
In this way i am prompted to type my PIN only when needed :good:

Body detection? Crazy that. Will be checking that out, cheers
So this morning when I woke up, and checked my email, I got a notification for "google services framework not working" however the phone seemed to be normal. I rebooted it, unlocked it, and pretty much the phone is nonoperational. I keep getting notifications, that can not be cleared for " framework failing", "launcher failing", etc. Which makes it nearly impossible to navigate anywhere because they are in rapid succession.
Phone is a Pixel 2xl on the stock rom, never been rooted, etc. I am not sure what to even do at this point.
Any help would be much appreciated as this is my only device.

About the only thing you can do is a factory reset to see if it remedies the situation. Or, side load the OTA through stock recovery. The first will wipe your data, the 2nd won't. So backup what you can in either case before you start.

You can find how to side load OTA's here....https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Google backup/restore will get you close to being back to normal. However, you will lose some app data. So whatever personal data you have, it's best to back it up on your pc.

What would be the most efficient way to back up photos? Really that is the only thing I would like to backup.
Google Photos. It automatically backs up images found in the Camera or DCIM folder on your internal storage space.

I got abd connected but I can't authorize the phone because the authorization pop up is behind the notification for failed google services. is there anyway around this?

Can you even get to your phone settings? If so, you may trying clearing app cache and data for Google play service and Google services framework like you see in the pic. Then if successful, reboot your device and see what happens.
I finally got the sideload to work, and it is still doing the same thing Only factory reset is left.

Yea, I can finagle my way there, but it doesn't do anything when I clear it.
I think my only hope at this point is to try and get my pics off it and factory reset.
How do I factory reset through adb? I navigated to the factory reset menu on the phone but the reset button is greyed out. I tried to do adb shell recovery --wipe_data and that didn't work.
Any advice how to reset through adb?

Either do it through the settings menu on your phone, or go into stock recovery using the power and volume buttons. Hold power + volume down for about 10 seconds, then when the bootloader screen comes up, use the volume down button to get to recovery, then press power to enter recovery. Once you see the android lying on his back, hold power + volume up simultaneously, then release volume. This part can get a little tricky, so be patient :good:
One additional piece of advice is to attempt to load the OS in "safe mode". You can find the method and more information HERE. As you can enter/load the OS (albeit the error messages get in the way), you should be able to get to the power-off/shutdown settings and might be able to load up the system in "safe mode"... I think it's worth a try...
good luck and hope this helped some....
