... I woke up this morning to find myself late for class because my phone crashed at 7:59 one minute before my alarm was supposed to go off. I soft reset my device and BOOM! Password screen.
I HAVENT SEEN A PASSWORD SCREEN EVER!
Where did this come from? Ive tried every concievable password to get by but to no avail. What sucks is that Ill loose some phone numbers in it.
Anything I can do?

so.. I woke up today and looked at my Kaiser and it's telling me to enter a password to unlock it... I never set any password for it.. and I've tried 3 times.. and no luck..
If I continue trying will it lock my phone?
and what caused this?
I just woke up and it was like this.
probably somebody.... got ahold of your phone and set a password on it . I believe u can unlock it by just calling ur phone, or soft reset
No one touched my phone. I always have it on me.. soft reset doesn't work.. I have to take out the battery, but why would it automatically pop up like that? it was fine before I went to sleep.. then when I woke up it says enter password. Ohh.. calls didn't work either.
If you keep trying, nothing will happen, it's not a SIM PIN code, so don't worry about locking your phone. Soft reset won't help.
I've looked through the forum for a solution to my problem, but to no avail, and it doesn't seem that others have the same exact problem I have.
Here goes..
To start off, my phone got wet, and as it was barely booting and crackling and flashing RLOD came on, I decided to let it dry for ~2 days, and then kept it plugged in for a day.
Now, I have normal green flashing light, the phone boots as quick as it used to, but it lags on the passcode screen (and shows my details as before), before saying that several incorrect passcodes have been entered and I need to type in 'a1b2c3', BUT before I get a chance to do so, the phone vibrates three times and shuts down :S
I have hard resetted the phone, but that didn't do any difference.
Anyone have any idea what's going on, and is there any way for me to able to save it??
Thanks beforehand
Today I went into location and security and I changed the Screen unlock setting to "none"....
Immediately the screen went off and has stayed off. Opening the keyboard, pressing the on button, restarting does nothing. I wonder if anyone else has done the same thing, It's hardly an obscure setting.
Anyone have any idea what i should do?
I'd say the best choice would be to do a hard reset and start all over.

I would call tech support, return it to the store and shoot an email off to moto-dev. Obvious software problem motorola should be made aware of.
Hey, I have been having the same issue, although mine doesn't seem to have been from changing a setting. It seems more random than anything else. So yeah sometimes the phone will just randomly restart (this last time while I was playing Air Attack HD) and then it will get stuck at the Droid Eye boot screen, eventually the screen will time out and then the phone is pretty much dead after that, except I can still receive notifications and even phone calls, but I can't act on any of them. The screen won't turn on no matter what I do. After pulling the battery and restarting, it keeps doing this same thing. i have factory reset 3 times now and it's getting annoying. I'm trying to keep as many apps off as possible. Does this sound like your issue? I'm going to keep searching the forum, and maybe start up a thread on this issue.

Doesn't happen for me..

I restart my phone daily, and after powering off, when I start it, I initially get the swirling dots, and then the screen to enter my pin ( white screen - not the lock screen). After I enter the pin, in get swirling dots again, and it then show me my home screen..
That is the normal behavior... Worked fine every day... Till today.
Today, when I powered off, and powered on, I never got the initial screen to enter my pin. After the swirling dots, it took me straight to my lock screen and asked for my pin. No idea what changed. I didn't decrypt my phone. Settings/ security still shows encrypted. I've restated 3 times, no difference. Straight to lock screen. Any ideas as to what has happened?
I'm on stock 5.0.1, rooted with auto root, boot loader unlocked. Nothing else. No change since the day I flashed 5.0.1 images. I did not disable encryption.
Edit: the only thing that comes to mind is that I installed last pass premium, and enabled it in accessibility. I then removed the app ( didn't like it) - not sure if that could have caused this issue?)
Looks like it is a known bug

I also had that problem, for me was the solution to go to security and change my password what i have set. So I don't select pin but password. Then restart the phone. If right is will ask for you password. And then go to you lockscreen. If it works you can switch back to pin again. Hope it helps

thank you for trying to help the op amyways
FWIW- I'm having this problem now/still... On two devices, oddly/incidentally.
I posted this elsewhere... But I'm having the same problem. Any thoughts? I can post more details, but don't want to repost this everywhere that I see people having the same unresolved problem.

* It used to be that when I did a reboot or shutdown and restart, I would have to enter a password before the system fully started.
* But now the phone boots into the phone without putting in my password. I can reboot the phone and it will boot all the way to the Lock screen, and I can unlock the lock screen with my fingerprint or my backup password.
* I am concerned that somehow my device is either no longer encrypted or that there is some setting which has stored the boot password.

I just got this too after I've uninstalled Greenify, which adds an Accessibility app, and I guess it triggered this.
Reset your password/PIN again, check the "ask at boot" option and that's it.
I leave my phone on during the night for the alarm. Sometimes when I wake up and the alarm goes off I turn off the alarm and when I go to unlock the screen it shows the message saying that the phone has been restarted and I need to enter my password (I have the fingerprint unlock so it happens every time you restart the phone). Today I woke up at 6:04am (before the alarm went off) and I checked my phone to see the time before going back to sleep and the message wasn't there. I went back to sleep, my alarm went off at 6:55am and I turned it off. When I go to unlock my phone the message pops up. I don't know if it's an alarm thing or if the phone randomly restarts while I sleep. I attached a picture of the battery usage and I'm not sure what the huge gap in the middle means or if it helps. Thanks.

So that huge gap means it's rebooting? If it is, then that's a long time it's off then. I've recently flashed stock EPG2 and factory reset. I'll try doing the factory reset again tomorrow when I have more time.
I have these issues when SYESTEM UI automatically restarts. I'm just too lazy to backup and factory reset the phone, so I've just been living with the issue.
