I encountered this recently after flashing Havoc 3.1 and then trying to restore my old apps setup and call logs etc... using google backup. I was asked to enter my old screen lock pin, but I was using Knock code. Well it appears that the Knock code is stored as a pin, here is how:
Top Left: 1
Top Right: 2
Bottom Left: 3
Bottom Right: 4
So the pin for the attached screenshot of the Knock code would be : 112234
you saved my butt

PLEASE HELP! I'm having this exact issue. I've only ever had a knock code. (mine would be 1122443 if I went by your decryption) but when I input that number to restore my backup it doesn't work :'''''(. do you know if there is a different encryption for my device (LG G8 ThinQ) I tried contacting LG support but they just kept telling me that they can't tell me my pin.

You have a pattern protection on your device, and you set the pattern you have selected to ask you for pattern when you start your phone up, reboot to system and remove pattern lock and then you should be fine...
Next time when you set an pattern select no thanks option as shown in the screenshot.
Ditto
If there's a pattern, it usually means you've got a pattern lock. Use the same pattern and it'll be locked.
Just use the same pattern that you use if you startup you're Android device. When you have no pattern, go to settings > locksreen > then remove pattern if not done already > set new pattern > there will popup a messege asking is you want to use a start-up password (or something like that) > No thanks. Should work now.
It is a good idea to have some security on the recovery but the interface is dodgy. It normally takes 2-3 tries because the screen can't seem to keep the touch and drag registered nicely.
See if this helps. This will remove whatever password you have set on your device.
Hello everyone, I'm a newbie to the OnePlus world.
So my question is: how can I disable the password that is required before android is launched on my OnePlus 3 ?
I've searched accross xda but I found nothing, sorry if this has already been answered.
In the beginning I found it very useful, but once I removed Google Keyboard, I was not able to enter that password.
I want to use a modded google keyboard (with number row), and on the xda thread, the dev ask to remove the defaut Google Keyboard.
Regards.
Go into Settings > Security & fingerprint > Screen lock and remove it (choose None).
Once the device is set to none, go back into Settings >Security & fingerprint > Screen lock and choose PIN. It will ask you here if you want secure boot (enter a PIN to start device) or not use it. Just choose the latter.
EDIT: If you have fingerprint set up, you will lose it during this process
Another option is to just switch between password, pin or pattern. You still get the option of not to set on boot, but this prevents the fingerprints to get deleted as they do when switching to swipe or none.
Thanks guys the problem is now solved, I've selected PIN with NONE as option for boot.
I can't do anything else because would like to remove the google keyboard.
To do so you will need to wipe your /data but its possible through twrp for excample. Simply after hard reset chose not to require password after boot
I'm confused as to why Google Keyboard is required for entering a password. Can't you just set your other keyboard to be the default?
Hey guys,
I have always had my op3 encrypted and I've become used to always entering the pin when booting up, accessing twrp etc. but today when I rebooted into twrp I didn't have to enter any pin to use twrp. When booting up the system I didn't have to enter a pin either.
When I check the settings under Security & Fingerprint it looks as in the attached screenshot, I don't have any options to decrypt or anything either
I'm running OOS 4.1.3, FrancoKernel #23 , Magisk 12, twrp-3.1.0-x_blu_spark_v27.
Is this something that anyone has experienced and know how to fix?
I want to keep my encryption but then, of course, you should have to use the pin.
Cheers!
Then the pin is defaulted and thus you don't need any. I don't need one, too and never did, but all is encrypted (Even locked down with a pin on bootup and fingerprint otherwise)
I believe this is an option you need to setup during the wizard when you initially set up the device. It asks you whether you want to require a pin on startup or not.
But, you can also turn this on by going to settings>security>screen lock.
From there, you click on the area where it says PIN. Confirm your pin, then click PIN again, and there should be an option to require pin for startup. Other than that, you are still encrypted, but it is all bypassed in order for quicker startup.

Ah that was it! it had somehow disabled itself, simply going in and enabling "require pin to start device" solved it.
Thanks!
Try removing the lock screen password and setting it up again and it will be back again in twrp.?
booted TWRP
then flashed magisk and removed AVB and force encryption (running decrypted now)
i set up a pin and that works fine at unlocking my screen however - when i go in settings to change the pin it says incorrect pin
also the option to add a fingerprint is gone...
whats going on?.
Same issue here but also on lockscreen.
Did you find a way to fix it?

Mount system and delete locksettings.db from /system/data via twrp.
This will reset locksreen pin. Restoring Twrp backups and other modifications are known for causing this issue.

This is not the issue as it was the first thing I tried of course. But thanks. It must be some issue with decryption/dm-verity/forceencrypt/magisk...
Once I set a new PIN, it is wrong. But actually, it detects that it is correct when entered since I can enter it as often as I want without being locked out. When I enter a truly incorrect PIN it locks me out.
Logcat says that the GatekeeperHalDevice returns the response code -30 or -24.
Did you resolve the problem? I have something similar. No lockscreen PIN and no fingerprints. I tried to set a PIN but it didn't seem to take.
Now I am in some in-between land. Still no lockscreen PIN still but when I try to set one, it asks for a PIN. I enter the usual number but it says invalid.
It doesn't help that I am on a non-rooted beta for Q so I don't know how to delete the locksettings.db either.

I have the same problem and i rooted...pls someone can help us
In MIUI it only has the option to use the lock screen PIN to encrypt the data partition. I know I can change the encryption password to something different manually, as described here
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-manually-change-your-android-encryption-password/
However when MIUI boots it only seems to allow users to enter a numeric decrypt password. I prefer to use an alphabetical or alphanumeric, as I find it less confusing using one PIN (for the lock screen) and an alphabetical or alphanumeric password for decryption and they're also longer and thus more secure than a 4 digit PIN.
Is there a mod for MIUI that will allow me to enter a alphanumeric decrypt password at boot?
Is no-one else bothered by this? Does everyone just use the same PIN for decryption and lockscreen? This seems like bad practice because if someone sees you enter your lockscreen PIN, they will then be able to unlock/decrypt the phone even after it is turned off or the battery runs out.
I've also found with the Note 5 the decrypt PIN screen on boot is very dim, making it more difficult to enter the PIN that it needs to be. My Note 4 isn't like this. I have Redfox Recovery on my Note 4 and OrangeFox on the Note 5 but I wouldn't have thought that would be causing this.
