[Q] [help]Unlocking pattern problem

Dear all, I have a htc wildfire s. yesterday my younger brother try to unlock my phone without knowing the unlocking pattern. He tried so many times that my phone was completely locked. now i have to enter my Google account username and password to access my phone. but no matter what format i entered, it just kept saying incorrent username or password. I have very important information stored in my phone and I don't want to lose it. Is there any way to unlock the phone?

It happened with me once but the device unlocked when I entered my google username and password(and amazingly without any data connection)..
I think it matches the username and password stored in the device(used 2 connect 2 android market,2 sync data etc) to verify(may be thats why it didn't need any data connection..
try this :
-->If u use any different password along with your google account username to connect to 'htc hub' and/or 'htc likes' try those(i don't remember which i used)..
-->try entering null as password. (together with your google username)
-->try entering your username without @gmail.com
-->use both of above two steps together
-->try changing ur google account password via computer and try again..
-->go to htcsense.com and click forget password under sign in and reset ur password following the link sent to ur gmail and then try again
-->Call yourself from another phone, answer, without hanging up press the home button, then menu button, settings, try to disable pattern-lock or change pattern
-->Call yourself from another phone, answer, hang-up, directly after hanging up start pressing your buttons like a madman for <30-60 seconds ending with your home button (might take a while to get the timing right). Go into settings and disable pattern-lock.
-->try first 4 steps without the sim..
other than these saving ur data on devices internal memory will be difficult..factory reset phone or contact service centre(who will also probably factory reset ur phone)..well !! Best of Luck..:fingers-crossed:

If you created device specific password for your phone through "google 2-step verification", you have to enter that password instead of your actual google password...

just restart ur phone nd try ur pattern again.. thats it....

and thats where the problem starts..device doesn't recognises username and/or password(as it is with htc devices)..

That happened to me once, I saw it as a opportunity to flash a new rom

Pattern Lock

Hello all,
I have forgotten Pattern Lock .. Now email address and password is required to sign in.
I enter correct email and password but cannot sign in. I am using the same email and password on PC but is not working now on my phone.
Is their any way without factory reset.. ???

Yes,
Get into bootloader by switching ON your phone and holding the volume down button
You can then find a FACTORY RESET there. Orientate by volume buttons and confirm by power button.

HTC M8 pattern password not accepted or resetting.

Somehow my password pattern is suddenly not detectable and it shows as wrong password. As there is no more option in lollipop for "forgot password" and using the gmail account to log in. How do I reset the password on a HTC M8 without doing a reset? I've tried logging into the google account, and I can use the "find" option in the device manager to locate the device, but if i press the "lock" button and try to enter a new password, for a split second it says "We have sent a lock request to the device", but then it says "Since Google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password you entered won't be needed." Wtf is going on? I am stuck with a pattern locked phone of whose password i know but the phone doesnt detect it anymore. Is there another way to reset the password?

No replies?

Well.......
Let me start by saying that this is a delicate matter, what if the device is stolen and somebody wants to get the info or device to work without wiping it. I know that this is probably not your intention and that it is hard to prove otherwise. But the possibility could be there in the worst case scenario !
Now don't get the above personal, it's written from another point of view, as i am running HTC phones for the past 6 years and never encountered this all of a sudden at any point. So from my point of view i find it difficult to believe.
To get to your point ...... not sure if it can be done otherwise but to reset the device. Depends if it's rooted or not for instance ?
Cheers

No reply ?

According to the story, looks like either : 3rd party apps are interfering (can also be malware/virus) OR someone physically got hold of the device and changed the password(perhaps he thinks its his own)
Try restarting the device while holding the volume up button only, android will go into safe mode and disable all 3rd party apps. If the password still doesn't work, then you have 2 options:
1) if S-ON : factory reset and lose all user data
2) if S-OFF or bootloader unlocked: remove password (this is the most details I can give without being an accomplice)

I couldn’t remove that account from xiaomi Mi5s

Hi,
I’ve successfully deleted my mi account but i couldn’t remove that account from my phone?
Its asking password and if I entered the old password, the message shows that there is no username found (since i delete the acc). Any possible solution to completely remove the acc and enter my new acc details?

This device was reset to continue sign in with a google account

Hey guys
A hard factory reset was made about a week ago and this message did not occur.
Another hard factory reset was made yesterday and when the prompt to login to google account shows up it says "This device was reset to continue sign in with a google account that was previously synced on this device".
I can login with my google account, but due to the device being used in a EMM setup I need to enter a different account.
Found a post on the oneplus official forum with the same problem and a link with a solution, but it's for Oneplus 2 so I don't know if the provided solution will work on the 5t. It involves using a OTG datacable with pendrive or micro sd card, which I do not have, and samsung bypass google verify apk download . Google "missingtricks bypass google account verification" for the procedure.
Currently sign ups on the oneplus forum is not working either so it's not possible to ask there.
Tell me if that solution will work or another solution that works please
Thanks

So you do not have the credentials to the Google account that was previously using the phone?
