Is there a way to prevent smartphones password remain even after wiped data/cache?
1. No need of the color. It should generally be used for important announcements or of kind.
2. Can you be a bit more specific?
If you mean whether the pattern lock stays, yes it does. You need to do a factory data reset to remove it.

Nope. In that case, you can use the imei number to track the device!

Hey I recently used this tutorial /watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=XOJz0-isyas (sorry wouldn't let me post the full link cause I just signed up) with my S3 i9305 and after rooting it, and turning it on, I see no change at all, except for the fact that my SIM card isn’t being read, and my about info says that I have a modified device. What have I done wrong? I’m assuming this isn’t for i9305 and I goof’d up hard. Willing to pay on PayPal with help on restoring this back to it’s default settings.
EDIT: Okay, I've successfully rooted it thanks to this thread;

But still, my SIM card isn't being detected.

Which SIM card do you use? Though I9305 supports nearly all mobile networks except CDMA, there still might be some incompatibilities. You can first replace your SIM card from your mobile network operators and see if it works. If it works, there must be something wrong with your recent SIM card. If it doesn't, there might be some incompatible problems or maybe your EFS was lost / broken.
For the rooting problem, if you have rooted your phone, of course you have a "modified device". So don't worry. If you want to bring your device to normal status, using "Triangle Away" first to reset flash counter and then restore factory settings. You'll find that your phone status restores to normal. Attention please: you'll lose everything after restoring factory settings so please do remember backing up your personal data including your phone book, favorites, apps & data, etc. Also you need to backup everything on your internal SD card 'cause I can't remember whether restoring factory settings will be to erasure your internal SD card. So just in case.
Hope my post can help you.
I Also have made the same mistake and my phone lost my imei Information
If anyone can suggest a way to restore this that doesn't involve a warranty claim it would be much appreciated

If I flash a factory image on my Nexus 6, will the device ask me for my google account, or does that only occur with a factory reset.
If you wipe the data then yes. I assumed since it's gonna be a whole ddffrent OS. Then yed

Click the top link in my signature for info. Especially if you are thinking of re-locking the bootloader.
You should remove your Google account and any security pin/password/pattern lock before hand. Then do a factory reset from settings before you begin. Safety first.

Giffgaff said they'd need the device protection taken off
"Don't forget to remove your PIN or lock code, and any other kind of protection so the phone fixers can turn on your phone and confirm the issue."
However it can be turned on and the PIN encryption is gone, I just don't know whether they will need my google account to get further into the phone seeing as it's a factory image flash. I can't lock the bootloader because i can't see anything on the screen and I cannot force it off without it auto rebooting.

If the screen isnt working, they can see the issue long before getting to boot up. To turn off device protection, you must remove the google account before a factory reset. You obviously cant do this without seeing what you're doing. And you wouldnt want them to have access to your google account. All you can do is flash factory and send it as is. Device protection isnt going to prevent them fixing a broken display issue.

On a PC or any other device with a browser you can access your Google account. Than change the password.
That is the first thing I should do ....

Just remember, you have to wait 72 hours before performing a factory reset after changing your password.

Change the Google password.

Why change your Google password? They cannot get into your Google account if you factory flash or reset.

By flashing the factory image, in its entirety, all of your account information would need to be entered before you could use the device again anyway. After the repair process, when the device is powered on, they would only see the start up screen, as if it were a new device.

True.
OP wanted to avoid access to his device by others. In general it is good practice to change password from time to time.
It is a point of view. Do not rely only on the security of a system.

I agree. That's why in my first response, I said that very thing. However with a broken screen, he could not do this from his device. So it was recommend that he do it via the web. But with the new features of security, you must wait 72 hours after changing your password before factory resetting. I think it's a time issue and the OP wants to get their phone off to be repaired.

Why don't you just unlock it using your Google account details?
i don't have
i don't have data is very important for me
Well, this doesn't seems legit at all.
Why don't you ask the person that the phone belongs to?

Maybe if the phone has recovery installed twrp/cwm try accessing data from there..!
Other than that there is no way as far as i know..
There's is no way to save data i think
So the recovery partition got corrupt and it would reboot my device when i tried booting into it, i used a app to forcefully boot into the recovery using root. My device bootlooped and would not boot into fastboot or turn off
I used this tool link to disable auth, then i flashed with sp flash tool. I was using firmware upgrade not format all
this video told me to uncheck preloader,cust,exaid during flash or i might loose my imei, i havent and i did loose my imei. My mom now uses the phone, she has two phones, this one she uses for paying with nfc and she uses her old one for everything else.
Im not tech savvy so i do not know if this is a important detail , it likely is not : when she puts her simcard into the phone it shows her contacts in the contacts app but she cant connect to mobile data, make and recieve calls/messages.
The bootloader is locked I do not have the box or a IMEI backup. Is there something i could do to maybe repair it? I could maybe use my imei from my other phone which is redmi note 9? its not important and doesnt really matter but would be great if i got it fixed

The device is linked to a Miui account which must be yours.
Check here:

There is the "forgot password" option.

If the phone is not linked to a Xiaomi account this request will never arrive.
This case is frequent with a second-hand phone where the former owner forgot to delete it from his account.
This is one of the security in case of loss or theft of the device.

If you never set a security lock, like pin, gesture or fingerprint, there is a small chance to startup again.
Otherwise you can't startup without Mi Service.
If you wiped your data, everything is gone, but not the encryption, so Miui can't acces the data partition. You need to format the data partition for removing that encryption too.

thx for the reply any idea or tutorial to proceed ?
It's the security on the lock screen that encrypts the data.
By formatting the data you delete your data and the encryption but you will still have the unlock request at startup since the phone is linked to a Xiaomi account.
I think you are right. Even without some security lockoptions, you must pass always the lockscreen.
But I was under the assumption that you didn't need a Mi account for that.

U can play around and see if it work...
YouTube can lead you for the tools you gonna need...search bypass m account
The other way, is to replace the logic board card ... Easy thing to do... Just make sure order the rite version for your device... That will solve it 100%

Mi account sign up process always asks at least one way to verify your account, either it's a phone number or an active email.
Hard to believe just because you said it's "your phone". If it is, the linked mi account can be recovered either by email registered by it or a phone number used to verify the account. Unless both of your email and phone number is already inactive, it just makes the process longer, but still possible.
Reminds me of case of hardware dealer claimed Apple intentionally "lock" their laptops so that they cannot be resold. Whatever he claimed to be, either it's "donated, the owner didn't know", "bought at trusted refurbished reseller" -- when it's locked, it's hard to verify whether it was really donated or just "stolen". Some people would lie to meet their ends.
Do you have a custom recovery? If you have twrp or orangefox, then you can install a custom rom that is not miui and it doesn't ask you for a miui account.

Since this cannot happen, be sure to refrain from providing any information likely to bypass security.

You can only install a custom recovery and rom if the bootloader is unlocked.
For that you need a Mi account.
Because this isn't the case he is complete ruled out.
