Hi, i lost the lock pattern cant remember it, is there some way to remove the pass without losing the information on the phone?
Try this:
tricksage. com/ 2013/05/forgot-pattern-lock-on-android-easy-way. html
XDA doesn't allow me to post links, so here's a copy/paste:
Easy way to unlock Forgot Pattern lock on android device
Draw the pattern 5 times in any way.
After five times you will got a message "You have incorrectly drawn your unlock pattern 5 times. Please try again in 30 Seconds".
After 30 seconds, you can see another option named "Forgot pattern"
While pressing forgot pattern you can see a window asking your email address and password with which you registered your android device.
Give the email address and password there.
Now you can see the option to reset your pattern lock.

This only works if you have your google account configured on the phone.

Just reset it to factory defaults using recovery.

Generally I change my passwords annually, but I'm wondering how this would affect the sync on my phone. Does this automatically "update" on your phone; i.e. do I even need to change anything on my phone to keep the sync going (along with the paid apps).
I'm probably over-worried about it, but i would like to change my PW but would hate to have to wipe my phone to do it.
Has anyone changed their Gmail password since setting up an Android phone?
If you change your Gmail account password your phone will eventually popup with a sync error message. You'll then be prompted to enter your new password at this point to sync. So, a wipe is not required.

I get a captia over and over again. No password box. How do I complete this task?

I have exactly the same issue. Amazingly, It looks like google didn't implemented a easy feature to this scenario.
For several forums I searched in, I only could find that if I wait an unspecific number of days, eventually!, it will pop up a window to insert a password! Completely unacceptable. I'm very frustrated with this.

How about just remove and re-add gmail in "accounts & sync".

You can't remove your primary google account.
But, if you change your password, within an hour it should popup asking for your new one. It's relatively easy; I've done it a half-dozen times.
If it's rooted then I think wipe cache or davlik resets account.

If you try to log back into the Android market, it asks you for the new password, and resets this across your phone.
I'm on HTC desire.
I had the same issue with the endless Captcha. There is a solution though.
Go to www .google .com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha on a PC or a web-browser and unlock the Captcha for your account. You will then be able to login again with username and password on your device.
Hope this helps

for all of you who have forgotten your gmail account and password this is simpliest way to do it without loosing everything on a HTC Hero
ok i did this and it took me about 2 hourse to figure it out and went duh after i did it.
what you need:
another phone, a email address that you can access
send your self a text messagen then call yourself, after you answer your phone scroll down the missed text message from the top of the screen, tap on it hit then hit menu then composetype in a person you know in the to box,click on his/her name and a box appears under the to collum click on it and click on view personslide over to email, click on it where it says add email address, add your email address that you can access then click on then scroll back over to the information tab and click on send e-mail then compose, then compose again then send.
This sends it to the address that you used from your gmail account.
you then have to sign in to your e-mail account on the internet click on the message sent there.
you will see the gmail name copy it down that is your account name.
if you forgot your password go to google click in long on and follow the directions for recovering or changing your password.

My phone is locked. now it requires my email and password but i entered the correct email and password but it keep saying wrong username or password.
my phone is on nova hd. please.. anyone could help me please?
Install screen lock bypass free android app. However its not recover your lost password, pattern, pin. It only skip lock-screen, but you can assess anything on your phone, including settings. If you uninstall the app its again start lock screen.

Guys, if I accidentally drawn the pattern wrongly 15 times, then it will request for the google account email and password. When I type it CORRECTLY (I recheck a lot of time), it says invalid username and password. What should I do?

Suppose if Gmail username & password correct its should ask redo pattern. I think performing factory reset will clear the password but all your setting will clear.
Hi All, Please if anyone else has problems adding an email account using the MS Exchange option in the stock Email app can you share a solution. I get prompted to add an Administrator access before the app searches for the server and it then always fails. The admin never shows up in settings security. I tried this for 3 Exchange servers, same issue.
Thanks...

I had the same problem, found it is due to it doesn`t prompt to set password. Go to setting and set the phone password before setup exchange account, then it will Work.

May be I have the same problem. If I want to setup an exchange account in Stock-Mail-App, there should be a dialog, in which I have to accept the creation of a "device admin" (i´m german, I hope thats the correct translation). But this dialog never appears anymore. At first time, the dialog was there and I could create my account. But later on, there is no entry visible in "Device Admins" for Stock-Mail and after a Restore of a Nandroid-Backup, I couldn´t create the exchange Account anymore, cause the dialog doesn´t appear.
So, may be ur solution could help me. But what do u mean with "phone password", where to set. Did u mean lock screen password or what else? Please give advice, where to set "phone password". Thanks in advance!
Yes, I mean the lock screen password.
On Samsung S2, after aceept the security setting of the Exchange server, it prompt to set the lock screen password, but doesn't seems to be happen on LG, so I go and set it manually and it works.

Besides, swipe or pattern may not work, need to be pin or password.
