Remove screen / startup code PIN - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi someone changed my PIN code on my phone.
I really need access to my text messages and my photo gallery.
Can someone give me some advise or link to software or thread on the best way to attain this?
I am guessing BOOT into ABD and disable password or something?
I'd prefer not to send my phone out.
Thanks
Scott

Is there a app for automatic pin code entering?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone know of a app to automatically enter PIN-Code (SIM-card code) at device startup, but after entering device unlock code?
conclusion:
I want the device and SIM-card to be code locked, but without having to enter both codes.
Hope you understand my question and that someone have a answer for me.
anyone??...
Not sure if I understand or why you want to do that, but you could disable the PIN security on your SIM card and leave the device lock code on, or vice-versa.
You mean something like this?

[Q] Recover the desktop backup password?

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,
ianc

I have the same problem with my Galaxy Note 2. ANYONE have an answer?!

Bypass lockscreen?

Greetings dellow xda dev's, I am currently running a Tmobile galaxy note 3, with the newest stock odexed FOL1 firmware, rooted, running twrp 2.8.5.0, I hav been installing apps and setting things up all day as a recent problem has forced me to factory reset my phone. Due to the way I use tasker to lock my phone (using secure settings to set a password) and restoring the old tasker profiles, my password appears to have been corrupted in some form or another as I have entered it a bunch of times and it won't unlock, claiming that the password is wrong. I have spent most of the evening looking at exploits and bypasses but none seem to work with my phone, there is no password.key file in the data/system folder, and deleting the gesture.key doesn't help. Using android device manager I can send a message to my phone and 'lock' it, but there is no unlock option anywhere on the screen; until I hit the home button and it simply sends me back to the normal lockscreen, and whatever new password I punched in with the manager doesn't work. I have tried several flashable zip files (lockscreen security bypass and pattern password disable), I have also tried everything mentioned in :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620456 that article, as well as poking around in adb and in twrp's file manager, as well as some old lockscreen vulnerabilities (sadly copy and paste do not appear on the emergency dialer or the password field).
I am rather desperate to get my phone unlocked without a factory reset, as I just barely recovered from one recently, and need my phone for work tomorrow morning. I do have some tasker and autoremote profiles running that will tell my phone to setoff an alarm through tasker, and that will alert my phone to when my tablets battery life is low, but I don't know if either of those will help. I do not have any trusted bluetooth devices that can unlock the phone, nor do I ever seem to find a password reset/forgot your password option after typing in my password.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated and tried come morning before work.

Changing lock screen password returns to lock screen; Locked out

So I have got kind of a strange buggy problem. I have an LG G4 with Android 6.0. I recently encrypted my phone with the standard Android encryption method. I used a six character password for this. After about a month my phone prompted that I had to change my password because it had expired. I must change the password in order to gain entry to the phone. So, I click 'change password', type in my old password, click continue and then it returns me to the lock screen?! Locked! It never actually lets me change my password. So I'm kinda stuck.
I tried using software like dr.fone to gain entry to at least save my files, but my phones default pc connection setting is charging and since I can't gain entry, I can't set it to MTP sharing. So I can't even gain entry through my PC.
Is this a known bug? I couldn't find anything on the internet about this. Anybody have any idea? I know I can just factory reset, but I really want to try saving my files. There's some pretty important stuff on my phone.
Thanks in advance,
Greetings,
Luca

Bootloader is locked I assume.
So your phone will not let you log in until you change the password but will not let you change the password
