My note 8T recently updated its firmware to 12.5 or higher (don't even know, last I looked I was on 12) and now I cannot get passed the lockscreen. I never have set a password, but a 7 digit pin code and fingerprint scan... since the update it's asking for a password and I don't know what it is as I never set one. I've tried my gmail account password etc and still no access.
I had hoped to access the phone via pcsuite.mi, do a backup and reset the phone.. but it seems the phone is not being picked up.
Anyone else had this issue? how did you solve it?
If anyone has a link to a pcsuite.mi that works on note 8T it would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have just bought my new Note II coming from Note I. My 1st setting was to create my work Exchange Account and was impossible. A message saying:
Setup could not finish => Incorrect username or password.
Obviously they are correct and it is workin in my Note I, but in the Note II.
I have tried everything: rooted, flashed new ROM (Criskelo, Omega, etc); flash back to 4.1.1; applied Exchange policy patch; but always the same message.
Isit a problem of my Note II which need a repalcement or is it a common problem that can be fixed in some way? Really apprecaite any help!!!
Hi everybody,
I have got a couple of S4 mini, which are encrypted and saved via a 4 digit PIN.
Three of these devices had the problem, that they can´t remember the correct PIN to decrypt the device after a power down.
So I had to wipe all three devices and installed them again.
Anybody heared something about this problem? Is anybody knowing a specal reason for this behaviour?
Thanks in advice

It's not a password problem if it was it would say invalid ID or password. It goes through the process of signing in then it says Process failed.
findmymobile.samsung.com is able to RING MY DEVICE but I an unable to get past "This phone has been locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to the Samsung account that was previously used on this phone." Is there any hope for this phone? Knox is tripped because the phone had previously been rooted.

I Odin back to 5.0.1-N910VVRU2BPA1 and was able to sign in to remove Reactivation lock then I upgraded to 6.0.1-N910VVRU2CQF2. The ROMs I use came from SamMobile
How did u upgrade and does this remove reactivation lock?
I have tried flashing rom marshmallow but I can't still remove reactivation lock but am able to login using my credentials. ..if I upgrade through OTA Will I be able to remove d reactivation lock my phone is note 4 910h
Reactivation lock, need samsung account - solved
I ran into this "This phone is locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to he Samsung account that was previously used on this phone to confirm that it belongs to you." error and found that on putting bad username/credentials in 5x in a row, Samsung mailed a password reset message to the google account initially used when the phone was new (there never was a "samsung" account). In our case it was a forgotten seldom-used years old email, but the message forwarded to the current address, the password was changed and we were on our way.
The stupidest thing was I did a Samsung tech support call, dropped the phone off at their factory service center to have this fixed, had them return it as not fixable, and they never mentioned this rather simple solutions. Works fine if the phone is really yours or you can contact it's original owner.
Then I decided to update marshmallow and ran into the next problem and now it's busted again .... oh well.
I am using an Unifi security gateway and am not able anymore to connect via vpn, it did worked some weeks ago as my note 5 pro was brand new.. Thought first the problem is with one of the custom roms, but even after i did mui 10 on again it does not work, unable to connect. Still able to connect with an old samsung with the same username, password and so on... so my thought is, is it caused by the unlocked bootloader? if so, is there any trick to fix inbuild vpn?
I have an old Zenfone 2 (AT&T default) that has a password on it. I forgot the password (obviously), but there are a bunch of old texts and pics that I'd like to backup. The phone was not unlocked, it was the default operating system. I know you can hard reset the phone back to factory default, but I'd love to keep the texts. Is there any software or methods that can be used to bypass or remove the password?
