Hello,
My wife has forgotten her PIN, I currently have no way of accessing the smartphone.
I can't get the email, she forgot about it or the Samsung account.
Is there a way to bypass the pin without completely resetting the smartphone?

Hello
I recently bought a Samsung Corby GT-i5500.
A my friend, trying out various functions, had fun using the unlock patterns; but he, after another intricate pattern, has come to forget it!
How should I do to unlock my Corby?
Thanks!
P.S.
The corby don't require me the gmail account.

Q. What if I've forgotten my unlock pattern?
When you fail to draw the correct unlock pattern on the screen after five attempts, you will be prompted to wait for 30 seconds before you can try again. If you forgot your screen unlock pattern, tap Forgot pattern. You will be prompted to sign in using your Google Account name and password, and create a new screen unlock pattern before the Home screen displays. You may also reset your phone back to the factory default settings. Resetting the phone deletes all data, including downloaded applications, and resets the phone back to its initial state
Google is your friend mate
Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately the corby don't prompt me to log in my g-mail account..

Have you tried?
1-Removing the battery for more than 5 minutes
2-Hard Reset
3-login in to your GMail account
4-Contacted the vendor/SP www.samsung.com/mobile
5-any of the above?
I get to unlock my corby installing a new firmware.
Anyway, thank you so much man!
Hi All,
I wondered if there was any app available to remove the PIN or password requirement from your phone while having exchange email sync'd?
Even if i could change to the pattern unlock i would be happy
thanks

Mine is gmail, does not require pin. Only in set-up.
I made the the mistake of activating the lockscreen password feature of my Galaxy Note 2 and now I can't seem to deactivate the feature. When trying to turn off screen lock password/pattern, all options (Swype, motion, face unlock, face and voice, None) are disbled (greyed out) but the only active options are Pattern, Pin and Password. The grayed out options are written "disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage"
Anyone know why its like this? How to go around this problem? By the way, I am using all stock.
Go to security-device administrators,uncheck if any app is there as admin.

Tried it.... didnt work...
You sure either using a VPN or exchange email with high security settings. Get rid of that and you'll be able to remove lock pattern

I am wondering if all Note 2s allow for using gmail account to unlock phone when you are unable to remember pattern lock. I, Myself, do not have a problem, however, I have seen people mention they can unlock the phone if too many unsuccessful attempts are made at trying to unlock the phone. I do have a gmail account which is linked to the phone. I have tried 100 times to get it to give me the option to use the gmail account without any avail. I am a ATT user, was wondering if this might have something to do with it. The phone is not rooted. Any ideas? Also, it doesn't give me a countdown timer saying try again.
Thanks
I need to have Microsoft Exchange on my phone (for work email) but that presents me with a dilemma, The system admin requires a pin or password, but does not accept the knock code as an adequate security measure. I am rooted so I just install Xposed and disable the stupid PIN requirement, but now the phone will sometimes turn on in my pocket. Are there any options in the middle? I would love to be able to re-activate knock codes on top of the Xposed keyguard disable, or at least have to swipe to unlock the screen to prevent it from excessive butt dialing.
Kind of a noob but can you post some instructions on how you bypassed the pin requirement for your work exchange? I need to do the same.

As it says in the OP
1) Install Xposed Framework - it is on on play, so Google it and sideload - you need root
2) Install one of 3-5 available keyguard disablers, my personal favorite is called... you guessed it, "Keyguard Disabler", it allows you to specify that a swipe is required after waking up, which reduces the possibility of "butt waking"
What is the safest root option for AT&T using a windows computer?
Generally for this situation it's easier to just use Touchdown or Nine, which will containerize your Exchange security within the app instead.

Mine requires the same, but seeing as the knock on option also requires a pin code as a backup, I don't understand why this won't work for you.

Exchange server policies don't recognize things like Knock Code and facial recognition and even fingerprints as a classifiable authentication method. Basically, on the Exchange side, you can "require a password," which forces password level of security on the Android generally. Enabling "allow simple password" lets you get away with using PIN code security. The protocol doesn't really know anything else exists, and neither does the Exchange server.
What should be happening is LG and Samsung and the others should be setting up their devices so that these alternatives appear as "simple password" to an Exchange server, since they're essentially equivalent. But clearly they're not doing so.

I think i understand. Exchange wont let me set up my work email without a pin code, but knock on works for me maybe because it also requires a pin code to set up.

That is not what he said. If your administrator requires a pin then knock code will not even be an option. If you can use knock code then your administrator does not require a pin.
The solution to my problem is to use the right keyguard disabler. There are at least three on the Xposed repository and they all behave differently. The best one for me is called "keyguard disabler" as it allows the option of nothing or slider as a lockscreen.

The police department I work for requires a PIN code in order for us to get work emails on our phones. If I have no security in place, I get a message saying I need to set a PIN. When I set up knock code, it also asked me for a PIN. My work email work email works on my phone, and yes, our Admin requires a PIN. Maybe I'm lucky and snuck through a crack or whatever.

Maybe this time LG implemented Knock Code properly, and made it appear as PIN security to the Exchange server? I could also see that being different between different carrier builds as well.
