Hi,
This is probably a very stupid question.
My Gemini PDA is Czech keyboard layout and 4G+WiFi type.
Unfortunately, due to my prolonged absence due to illness, I can't remember the password that will get me into the system.
I tried different variants, but without success. And now the message appeared on the display that in another 9 attempts the device
will be blocked. I really don't know how to get it up and running.
I would like to ask you for help on how to proceed in this case? How to perform a hardware reset to boot device without any password (=factory reset but not from the menu)?
Pressing the Esc-on key for about 18 to 20 seconds does not help. The device still requires a password.
I did not find a solution anywhere.
Thanks in advance!

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)
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,

Hi,
I'm facing serious problem with freeze and reboot frequently :crying:
My Gemini PDA is Japanese keyboard layout and 4G+WiFi type.
I tried to do following action for checking what root cause is.
- I removed microSD card and SIM card
- I rebooted by manual and connect to WiFi network.
But nothing was changed.
I also tried a soft reset from "backup and reset" -> "data reset" in Android OS settings but nothing was improved.
Does anyone have similar or same problem like me?
One more thing:
Planet Computer support suggested me full factory reset.
But I could not find how to do it. I tried it by pressing both ESC(power) button and side button simultaneously
but there is no available command like full reset.
Any suggestion or information is welcome!
Best regards
Akira
additional info.
I tried to find when freeze problem happens as following.
1) Input method conflict
1st time, I installed Google Japanese language input and activate both Google's and Gemini keyboard input. This may make conflicts and freeze problem was happened.
I disabled Gemini keyboard input and leave Google's input as active.
It looked reducing the error rate but not fixed yet.
2) Evernote app
When evernote app syncs with cloud 1st time, freeze problem happened. This happens only once.
3) Playing movie file from google photo app
Some times happens.
4) initial setting up
So I did reset of my data and apps on Android OS.
But reboot problem might be getting worse.
Inputting my google account like "[email protected]" but frozen and reboot happened before inputting "@" character.
I tried to find root cause by removing SIM card but the problem happened again.
I asked my Japanese Gemini users if they are facing similar problem but no one faced the problem.
reflashing image but nothing changed
Hi,
I got suggestion from Planet Computer's support team that flashing image might fix the problem.
I tried it but nothing was improved.
I already sent the result to team. I hope they will pick my pda up then replace it.

By the way, it does not need install flash tool driver if you use Windows10.
Just launching Flash tool works without installation of the driver.
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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
Hi all
Just wondering would you be able lead me to solve the problem. Have above router, starts communication with phone over wifi, can log into webui but unfortunately cant login with pass: admin:admin, tried reset it by holding button in pinhole for about 20sec without luck looks like it. Seems like password is set and cannot be reset with reset button. Tried upgrade software but unsure that was successful either as looks nothing has heen changed. Any idea how to pass this authorization problem?
