Hello.
My brother locked my HTC Desire HD by entering the wrong pattern.
Now I have to sing in with my mail but I can't remember what mail was it.
Is there a way to check what mail is registered or just backup my contacts and than, I'll do a factory reset ?
NOTE: USB-Debugging is disabled and when I concect the phone to the PC it says Charge Only.
If' there's a way to root it with download mode or turn debuging mode on or backup contacts or find the registered E-Mail, please tell me because I have 1000+ contacts and they're not backed up on Google.
Thanks in advance.

If you synchronized ur contacts with google, then after a reset,your contacts would be sent right back to your device after signing in with that acount. If you dont remember that account then am afraid you are going to loose em.
I havent heard of a way to enable USB Debugging remotely. It can only be enabled from the device.

I can't remember what account I used. If I knew i could reset my password or install Lock Bypass from my PC on Play Store but I don't know it.
I can't afford to lose those contacts :/

Then your options are really limited. Unless....
This is going to be difficult as i havent tried it before but it might be possible.
What i would want you to do is flash a custom recovery and back up ur rom. Then send the file onto ur pc and extract the backup. And go through the data part, since your conacts are held by an apk called contacts storage.
I havent tried it before.
But it might work

I can't access my phone because it's not rooted and usb debuging is disabled so I can't put a custom recovery :/
Don't get Panic...
After reading all the conversation, what i was thinking is that, If you're not rooted then you must be on Android OS 2.3.5(last update) or lower. So you can do either login into all your Gmail accounts One by One and check which accounts has contacts sync with number which you were expecting not to loose. If you find that one then just click "Forget Password" on your device. They'll sent reset password to your account or else last option Hard Reset.
Where i found: http://everydaylife.globalpost.com/unlock-android-smartphone-after-many-pattern-attempts-34229.html
I think your answer lies somewhere on above link so try it. let us know.

I tried all the mails I can remember but non of the works :/
It doesn't give me a "forgot password" option :/
None on the methods in that link worked...
I'll try to do something with Android SDK and terminal when I put the phone in Fastboot mode because it's the only way that my PC recognizes my phone...
I'll let you know what I've done
Hey people,

The first 2 option are unavailable(Lock screen and no lock screen) and it says "it is disabled by administrator encryption policy or credential..."
Help plss
Anyone has the same ploblem?
Help
Thanks
Hope this works for you too.
I faced the same problem and here is how I solved it for myself.
Go to Settings
Under Personal select Security
Scroll down to Credential Storage
Select "Clear credentials (Remove all certificates)"
Once this is done, I managed to gain back the first two options of "Lock Screen" and "No Lock Screen".
Hope this helps you!
Same issue

Wrong device, wrong ROM. I doubt anyone in this section can help.

Hi fellows,
So i bought that S810 beast and i am fully enjoying it
Only one of a sudden, i found a bug which i thought it might not be that annoying, but it turned out to be freaking me out
I can not remove the lockscreen protection back to the normal slide lockscreen for an unknown reason that i failed to discover.
It says,
Disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have nothing in the administrators, my internal storage is not encrypted and i haven't touched that credential thing!
So i guess that the only way out is to "clear the credential storage"
Now the question is, is there any way out of this problem rather than factory reseting the phone or clearing the credentials?? If not, then can anybody tell me what are the side effects of deleting the credential certificates ? AFAIK it affects VPN stuff, which i never used on my phone and i am sure i won't use it! Are there any other side effects?
P.S. I am not rooted no need to void my warranty, yet
Thank You!

AcDisplay, Greenify, Android device manager only
Nothing special
Screenshot attached!
Try removing AcDisplay from your device.
Might be AcDisplay indeed. Have you tried to remove it?

Well this issue was there before i install the apps
Only android device manager was there once i detected the incident
However i will try to remove them and see if there is anything changed
You could also reboot into safe mode, see if that solves the problem (which would indicate that an installed app is the source). To go into safe mode, press and hold the power button until the power menu appears and the touch & hold 'power off' until prompted to reboot into safe mode.

Navigate to /data/system/password or gesture (Pattern) and delete that entry depending on what type of password you have, reboot done.
If you are unable to get into the phone you will be able to do this using the file manager within TWRP.
PS: Not 100% if it'll fix the isse due to an app locking down the phone but it certainly removes the pin / pattern or password from your phone, so should work.

Ah i see, sorry mate, then no you need root access to be able to see lower level files.
In all fairness, I would say to back up your data and flash another ruu / rom, or even factory reset the device and be careful what you install, I'm assuming that it's something to do with an app you have installed or an email which needs to lock down your device.
I would do that, back up, wipe and go lightly with the installing of apps until you find the culprit, if that doesn't work then I would flash another RUU.
But I imagine it will.

Nice one.
click thanks instead of saying it fella Glad you're back up and running.
Actually it turned out to be even better with Smart Lock options like trusted devices "when connected to my bluetooth speakers/handsfree" and trusted place "put my home address here" and also turned on the "body detection"
In this way i am prompted to type my PIN only when needed :good:

I assumed you reset your phone while it's still locked and you forgot your Google account, is this correct?
If yes, then sadly there's no way to unlock the phone without your former Google account, as far as I know.
This was made by Google to prevent theft on your phone as explained in http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...evice-protection-feature-and-how-do-i-use-it/
And what about people like me who are the phone is locked by mistake?

Try pulling your sim card and resetting again. When it starts up DONT turn on internet.. When you get the "configuring your phone" screen use power and volume up 4 or 5 times then power and volume down 4 or 5 times.. If it doesnt work keep trying. I just randomly pressed the key combinations and it went to a "skip activation" option and bypass google FRP.. (i was stuck on the configuration screen and it didn't give the the chance to log into my account) Once your in ADD YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT TO THE PHONE AND RESET IT AGAIN.. youve just effectively took over the phone. Hope that helps..
I have forgotten my pattern and ive been trying for a whole day to get it right, but it just wont work. I'm on 6.0, theres no alternate way to log with google account.
I've been trying things out, but even with my computer, no luck at all, my usb is like "use usb for charging" and i cant change that cause i need the pattern.
If someone knows a way, how to pull those photos out, knows a way how to bypass the lockscreen, I'd really really appreciate it, these photos mean the life to me and im gonna be very depressed if i lose them.

Assuming your phone wasn't in airplane mode (ie, it is powered on and is connected to wifi or your cellular network), you may be able to use Android Device Manager. Log into the Google account associated with your phone, select the device and click 'lock'. You'll be prompted to put in a new password, which you can then use to unlock your device.

I did that but its asking my pattern first
Since Google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password you entered won't be needed.

Well darn. I should have tested that before posting - I'm sorry.
There are some things I've encountered via Google search about deleting a file but it's not clear if it actually works and in all explanations requires ADB debugging to already be enabled and the bootloader to be unlocked. I'm unwilling to test the method because I don't want to mess up my own phone's setup.
Unfortunately, I think you're straight up out of options, besides a factory reset.
Does stock recovery supports adb? That might be woth a try
Do you have TWRP i got a file to help you
