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,

So our Moto Z2 play, app search bar crashed, and the phone was rebooted. The fingerprint scans, and asks for a password, we know the password, but after touching the entry field, no keyboard is displayed. I'm at a loss, because the phone is only 5 days old, and this all happened 30 minutes ago...Any suggestions or help is appreciated.
edit: I've tried rebooting into safe mode, and the same problem exists (i.e. no keyboard displayed when attempting to enter the password to unlock the device)
Solution: Factory reset from recovery.
Thank you,
Dah
