I have forgotten my pattern and ive been trying for a whole day to get it right, but it just wont work. I'm on 6.0, theres no alternate way to log with google account.
I've been trying things out, but even with my computer, no luck at all, my usb is like "use usb for charging" and i cant change that cause i need the pattern.
If someone knows a way, how to pull those photos out, knows a way how to bypass the lockscreen, I'd really really appreciate it, these photos mean the life to me and im gonna be very depressed if i lose them.

Assuming your phone wasn't in airplane mode (ie, it is powered on and is connected to wifi or your cellular network), you may be able to use Android Device Manager. Log into the Google account associated with your phone, select the device and click 'lock'. You'll be prompted to put in a new password, which you can then use to unlock your device.

I did that but its asking my pattern first
Since Google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password you entered won't be needed.

Well darn. I should have tested that before posting - I'm sorry.
There are some things I've encountered via Google search about deleting a file but it's not clear if it actually works and in all explanations requires ADB debugging to already be enabled and the bootloader to be unlocked. I'm unwilling to test the method because I don't want to mess up my own phone's setup.
Unfortunately, I think you're straight up out of options, besides a factory reset.
Does stock recovery supports adb? That might be woth a try
Do you have TWRP i got a file to help you

Hello.
My brother locked my HTC Desire HD by entering the wrong pattern.
Now I have to sing in with my mail but I can't remember what mail was it.
Is there a way to check what mail is registered or just backup my contacts and than, I'll do a factory reset ?
NOTE: USB-Debugging is disabled and when I concect the phone to the PC it says Charge Only.
If' there's a way to root it with download mode or turn debuging mode on or backup contacts or find the registered E-Mail, please tell me because I have 1000+ contacts and they're not backed up on Google.
Thanks in advance.

If you synchronized ur contacts with google, then after a reset,your contacts would be sent right back to your device after signing in with that acount. If you dont remember that account then am afraid you are going to loose em.
I havent heard of a way to enable USB Debugging remotely. It can only be enabled from the device.

Then your options are really limited. Unless....
This is going to be difficult as i havent tried it before but it might be possible.
What i would want you to do is flash a custom recovery and back up ur rom. Then send the file onto ur pc and extract the backup. And go through the data part, since your conacts are held by an apk called contacts storage.
I havent tried it before.
But it might work

I can't access my phone because it's not rooted and usb debuging is disabled so I can't put a custom recovery :/
Don't get Panic...
After reading all the conversation, what i was thinking is that, If you're not rooted then you must be on Android OS 2.3.5(last update) or lower. So you can do either login into all your Gmail accounts One by One and check which accounts has contacts sync with number which you were expecting not to loose. If you find that one then just click "Forget Password" on your device. They'll sent reset password to your account or else last option Hard Reset.
Where i found: http://everydaylife.globalpost.com/unlock-android-smartphone-after-many-pattern-attempts-34229.html
I think your answer lies somewhere on above link so try it. let us know.

Galaxy Tab S T-700 Lost unlock options
I have what seems to be a new one....The fingerprint scanner no longer boots at startup, The Alternative Password claims that I don't know it and I can't find the option to sign in with Google. Any suggestions????
I hadn't altered the software, Everything is still stock. I have VERY limited function thru a guest profile which will not allow any new apps nor access to most of the apps installed under my profile.
How about some kind of remote access?? Bypass the lock screen? I do have the right fingerprint, and the Alt PW ( I think, 90% sure). I have Team Viewer on everything else. Debugging is enabled. I have a good Google account. I also use Last Pass......
I'm another desperate noob. Please help.:crying:....
Try vol +home+power with the tablet off. Reboot into recovery, wipe data,cache and reboot. Second one odin 3.09 plus stock firmware from sammobile.com, boot in download mode and flash the firmware. Metod one will make you lose all your data, method 2 maybe will save your pesonal files (pictures, etc). 3rd method...samsung repair...you need proof of purchase , box and all the accesories. Good luck
Did you set up FIND MY MOBILE in Security settings. If so you can use it to unlock the lock screen with a code.

Search on youtube on how to bypass lockscreen before you factory reset.
Much Thanks!
In that I was "just playing" until I had the intestinal fortitude to root I went ahead with the factory reset.
Have any of you seen the loss of a sign in method before? Factory reset fixed it.... I wish I knew what caused it...
Threads again!

Not so very desperate noob....
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:

i have the phone updated to android pie and rooted with magisk the latest version and i have twrp recovery on it
but while installing one of the mods (youtube vanced) and after it rebooted the phone asked for my pattern (not on the lock screen but the encrypted startup feature which i didn't turn on but i have changed my pattern a few days ago but i use the fingerprint always on the phone)
i forgot the pattern for the phone and i tried on it and it says 9 more tries and my phone will be wiped
is there a way to find the pattern on my google account since it's linked to the phone and it automatically uploads it to the cloud ? or is there a way to bypass it ?
Note:i know it sound like i stole the phone but i have proof of ownership if anyone wants(the box and the google account linked to it are mine and is linked to this account)
thanks in advance
Do you have access on twrp? If entered first time pattern should be saved and you can access data.
Simply reboot in twrp, if no pattern is asked make a backup of data partition (that will be unencrypted) just in case you will need to wipe and search for a way to access twrp-saved pattern.
You could also try the google feature "find my device" and change pattern, but as phone its encrypted i dont really think it will work.

sadly the "find my phone" doesn't help
and in TWRP it asks for the key too and when i press cancel and try to go to data/system where the pass key is there is nothing (it must be encrypted as well)
and twrp says that my data is 0mb and can't even back it up because it's encrypted
Ok, but it doesnt say that data will be wiped, so you can try a lot of patterns.
Unfortunatelly theres no way to bypass because data is encrypted, you should try again and again and prepare yourself for a complete wipe.

I have this tablet which is being restricted to use due to Knox. It appears to be for some vendor. It takes over the device even though it's not connected to the internet and doesn't allow me to do anything with it. I have read all the threads I can find and tried every possible option through Odin to install new firmware.
I understand this model is a giant pain due to Verizon and I may not be able to root this for customization. But is there not a way to get a factory clean firmware on here that doesn't have this Knox vendor customization? If not, is this good for anything or just throw it in the trash?

Same issue but I added another user and it works fine because knox isn't running device admin. Owner doesn't work and either does usb debugging. I'm thinking of calling know for remote support.

Thank you for the response. This is still very much an active question for me.
I'm able to create the user account, install and start the install for the mentioned apk. However, it stops at 90%, and I get this error "Root Failed" Error Code 0x166508. It recommends I use the PC version, but USB Debugging is disabled in main account and I can't even access Developer tools for this new account.
Additionally, I'm unable to use the Home button. I get the following message "Security policy prevents use of Home key"
Seems like no matter what is suggested, there is something new that is blocking this from being used.
