Usually that is a password from Sam mobile to unlock the firmware. Try samfirware. com as the password. On there site it tells you there passwords.

Hi
I had similar problem... After first reboot following an Odin flash I was requested to "Confirm password" and got on-screen keyboard. The hint was given after typing wrong password several times - it warned me that my personal data will wiped if make further errors.
So I eventually realized - I had an Exchange account sync set up previously - which required me to type PIN or password to unlock the device. AFAIU, apart from unlocking the screen, it may also be used for encryption of some contents on "sdcard". Installation realizes this and asks for the password... I typed my PIN - it complained that it is wrong - but still went ahead completing the installation.
For some reason I cannot replicate this behaviour again - maybe because I was running ICS before - which has improved security allowing for contents encryption and now I flashed stock Gingerbread. Anyway "Confirm password" screen looks similar to the one used by "Password encryption" (which I was not familiar with using a PIN).
Did you have similar scenario? Did typing previous PIN or password help?

Forgotten Pin on phone [SAMSUNG DIVE]

Hi i really need some help here. I stupidly was testing out the samsung dive mobile tracker feature and forgot i already set a pin for it. So when i locked it, i cannot remember the pin at all. I've tried everything.
Is there any way for me to flash the phone or reset it at all? Bare in mind i haven't flashed this apart from the official way of using samsung kies. I don't mind using ODIN if i have to flash it that way. It's just a case of whether ill be able to connect it up to my pc because it asks for a pin and there is no way of actually getting in by using a forgotten pin method.
Easy -.-'
Just start phone in Recovery Mode (Speaker Up + Home + Power) and select factory reset.

He means probably this http://goo.gl/o4I6T
Btw in the old thread there was a solution to this. But I dont remember
. What I do remember I wouldnt suggest to try.(He put in some random password over and over till it locked or something and then he did something)
Ok found it BUT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

FIX for anyone having "Confirm Password" issue on Boot:-
1) Just enter some wrong password multiple times
2) Then a Warning message will appear telling you it will remove all SD Card data
3) Type something wrong again!
4) Let the SD Card get wiped.
5) Then the system will bootup properly next time.
I just did one more *2767*3855# Full wipe after bootup.

link to the original poster http://goo.gl/hyzin not sure it will work
What on earth?
knowledge is Power. Guard it well.
Could that be the encryption password!!???
I was testing my device against a MDM (Mobile device management) system called Afaria, where I work and have enabled encryption in the policy applied to the device. When I got the enter password dialog box I entered the encryption password and the device accepted the password...

Help: password protection after boot

Hi All,
Well, I have just flashed my phone - using the samfirmware site.
A process I have done many times successfully, this time though the process was going well.. through an odin flash. I got to the stage of rebooting, an icon appears like packages are being extracted. It then prompts me for a password at this point (one I do not know). The only things I can do on my phone is enter download mode and flash new roms, I am unable to enter recovery mode or start the phone due to the password prompt, Would anyone know of a way I can get past this..
Help please.
Regards
Muff
If you had setup a pin lock on your phone, try that. Or try entering a random pin number a few times and you will get a message saying your internal sd card will be formatted. This method worked for me before.

Oh! This is a stupid thing ! Happened with me a few days ago when I was flashing 2.3.5 and is nothing ! Just enter anything for 3-4 times and then just flash what you want nothing will happen! It happens because of security apps.! like 'app. Protector pro.' ! Used by you and does not format your SD card!

I Flashed a Stock Rom with a Stock PIT
After Flashed Successfully When My Phone Restarted it is Asking

I am Shocked Because I didnot Put Any Password.

So when I restore My Phone I get back to its Normal State BUT . . .
MY PROBLEM IS" IF I PUT A ENCRYPTION PASSWORD" AND WHEN I FLASHED A ROM WITH A 4GB OR 6 GB PIT FILE.
IT WILL AGAIN ASK FOR A PASSWORD OR NOT ??
IF IT ASK FOR A PASSWORD THEN CAN I PUT THE PASSWORD THAT I DONE RIGHT NOW ?
I am asking this Because i ddidnot put any Encryption password In my Phone . Then also when i Flashed a Stock Rom with Stock Pit. It ask Me For Password Help me please . .

Not very helpful. I also have this EXACT same problem. Never set any passwords. Have tried PIT and ROM flash via Odin, both stock and custom ROMS
Same message.
Strange thing is it appears to have booted fine and that this password is being requested by the OS.
This is evidenced by the fact that there is an 'Emergency Call' button giving access to the emergency dialler, and that i can adjust handset volume settings via side buttons.
Indeed if i press the volume button the slider appears with the settings cog which if pressed shows the sliders for Ringtone, Media, Notifications and System volumes.
I have heard of a phone lock that can happen if you overstep the flash counter that some mobiles have installed at some level. i.e. if you flash ROMS too many times. Could it be this?
But if so how come it still persists after flashing? What level is it then stored at and how to get rid of it?
thx in advance
P.S. i note that if i go into download mode there is small text at the top left of my screen saying:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-N7000
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (4 COUNTS)
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
what is putting this there? and why is it counting the no. installs i do?
ALSO NOTE THAT when in CWM6 and do a Factory Reset itsays this halfway thru the wiping process:
>Formatting /emmc/.android.secure
>Error mounting /emmc/.android.secure
same problem, can't make it go away
got same problem ? going to have a play see if i can get it gone , was hoping i would find an answer on here but may be time to bury it lol

SOLVED.
Ok guys just a quick update. I haven't had time and forgot about this thread but here's what I did and I am posting here so that somebody in same situation could benefit. I created a note to self in past and found it.
"In case I ever get that annoying Encryption message.
Do the following:
1) For this method to work you must have access to SDcard or internal memory.
2) If you dont have access, make sure you have Superuser file on any type of Memory (internal or external).
(On the sidenote I will always keep that in internal as well as external card from now on.)
3) Fire up Odin - Install Clockwork Recovery in PDA - Do Not Check reset time.
4) START....
5) Install zip from sdcard... superuser
a) it will fail first time with error code 0.
b) do it again (dont worry about that).
6) Fire up odin again.
7) Rename the MD5 i717 file to TAR. (see NOTE)
8) PDA that ****.
9) START and wait....
10) PASS you're done. Thank PAST ME...!!!! "
NOTE : Now I think this will work for other devices than just I717. You must get a stock rom TAR for your device. Dont get the latest but the one before latest.
After booting is complete and the device no longer asks for passcode. Go into security settings of the device. Then Setup a password lock for your device. Make sure its password lock and is at-least 8 characters. NOTE DOWN THAT PASSWORD
REBOOT.
Device will ask for password to unclock, Enter it and then go to security settings again and disable password unlock it or simply set it to slide.
Make sure you have NOT enabled any device Administrators in security settings. Most commonly people with exchange accounts on phone have that.
After this you can flash the any ROM you intend to flash (On stock rom it will still appear.) and if that encryption screen comes up use the password you setup previously.
Again I cant guarantee this will work for individual devices but yeah It worked for me and my friends device (both i717). Its now a goto method to get rid of it.

I9000 - factory reset intended, but recovery asks for PW then?

Hello,
found an old i9000 in a friend's "electronic trash" box. No SIM or SD card in there, phone still working (boots into PIN enter screen).
Now I wanted to toy around with it, see what custom ROMs can do to that old beauty - but upon entering recovery mode (Vol+, Home, Power) and selecting the "Factory reset" option, I get asked for a PW. All the tutorials on how to hard reset the phone never showed the PW request - is there some way to bypass it? I would hate to discard a phone that is 100% good from the hardware side of things -
thank you very much in advance,
Mirrorblade

Thank you - that actually did not help, as I still needed to enter that password on rebooting.
But when crawling the web for the exact "confirm password" phrase, I found the solution:
"Just enter the PW wrong four times, that will cause the data to be deleted". Did it for me, then
