Hello everyone,
I really hope you guys can help me with this problem. Lets start with, I have the international version of the HTC ONE 801e, and today I don't know why but I just set up a random PIN password for the lock screen and I cannot remember it at all :crying: I've tried unlocking it like 100 times I AM NOT KIDDING. I've contacted HTC and they told me that I have to reset my phone to Factory Settings but I really don't want to do that. My carrier is AT&T, I thought about contacting them or going to the store but I wanted to ask you guys first. My phone is not ROOTED it is completely stock everything. I really really really hope you can help me. And if my only option is to reset my phone to factory settings, can you tell me how to access my folders before doing that. Because I have some photos and whatsapp chat backups that I really don't want to lose.
Any help would be appreciated, Thank you,
Hmmm... suspicious.
I'm gonna leave this here: http://en.miui.com/thread-5684-1-1.html
If it's not allowed on this forum, I'm sorry.

Enter a random PIN a few times and when it asks you if you've forgotten your PIN say yes and unlock it with your Google account credentials. Then you can set a new PIN and there will be no need to reset your phone.

Thanks for the opinion but that didn't work. I've read tons of threads and the "Google Reset Method" only works if you forget your Pattern lock code. I had to reset it anyway T.T
Hey MrGrey44 was your problem solved without formatting your device? I am also facing same problem on my tab. Here is link to my thread, pls help me out.

So my son(2yrs) got to my G1 and well im pretty sure he messed with the pattern unlock and then tapped "forgot password". now i cant sign in to my gmail account even though i know the information I input is correct, but i have achieved this before. i really need help!
Basically what i want to know is if there is any way to bypass the gmail sign in and how to go about doing that? i did a little bit of research and turned up that i have to download adb to do it, but im not sure, and i really dont want to do a factory reset...
If it helps? It is running on the factory OS and i have it activated through simplemobile
i am new at this and not much of a tech person so i could really use the help
thanks!
Is there any way to solve this other than doing a hard reset on the HTC One?
Can't really afford to lose the data.
SORRY. Forgot to click question.

this sounds like a way to access a stolen phones information, I doubt you'll get much help here
For all we know the phones not yours, in most cases it'll ask you to verify using the Google account on the phone. If you don't no neither than that says a lot.
But,
A nicely worded Google search should give you specific steps.

Why on earth would I care for the data if the phone was stolen? Then I'd go right ahead and reset it.
It belongs to a family member, and I gave said person the HTC One when I got my Z1 (you can see from my previous posts from several months back about the HTC One). Long story short: she messed up the pattern too many times (who knows how, I'm actually annoyed) and doesn't know the password to the Google account. So I reset the password for her (I have access to the Google account), but that password won't work because the phone is not connected to wi-fi or mobile data, so the only way is to obtain the previous password, and that's impossible as far as I know, especially since Google does not have any e-mail/phone support.
I read a couple of tips regarding calling the phone and the dropping down the notification bar to turn on the net, but it doesn't work.
So I came here hoping for a solution before we have to wipe the phone with lots of vacation pictures:/
I have googled a lot, and haven't found anything. Thank you though.

If you have TWRP installed use adb pull /sdcard/Pictures to retrieve your vacation pictures, then factory reset.
If stock recovery your only option is a factory reset.

Are you on AT&T? cause I think they can remotely unlock your device, if you give them your details

Hi
I was using Nokia lumia 520 and I apply a pin to lock phone. I used phon after a long time but unfortunately I forgot password. Every time I apply a pin, it gives me a time to retry after 4 min, next time 8, 16,32,64 min and so on.
Can anyone help me in removing this pin. I am not an expert of Windows phone. I know a little bit of Android. So please guide me in a simple way.......
Just hard-reset. You'll lose your app data but you'll have a phone again.

SORRY TO RESURECT OLD THREAD IN ADVANCE(im not new to xda, or android, bu windows phone yes, brand new to me)
is there ANY other possible way to bypass this pin lock?
i posted another threda just now about this before i found this thread.
details here;;; http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...mia-635-rm-975-model-street-passcode-t3181598
BASICALLY;
i found a lumia rm-975 (lumia635 at&t) lying on street...i have a galaxy nexus, so using this found device isnt really m=what im looking to do.
what i WANT to do, is find a way to get past this 4 digit pin unlok(either change it, or get by it SOMEHOW) so that i am able to contact the device owner hopefully and get it back to them. i have no interest in using thi device myself, im an android guy, this is a windows device. i just want to help out the owner who lost their device, which seems impossible since i cannot get by this pin unlok.
if there is ANY way, please let me know, pm me, reply here, rply at my thread, however you want to cnitact me for any help is fine by me.
i just am not looking forward to using a data reset to just get into device, because then i woudnt have any numbers left to contact family/friends of this ddevice owner.
please let me know if there is a way

I don't think there's any way to bypass the lockscreen other than to reset the phone, but you definitely shouldn't do that if you intend to return it to the owner. You could try putting the SIM card into another phone to see if it has any contacts that you might be able to connect with (e.g. home number, relatives) and let them know the build of the phone you found. If the owner set up the phone's recovery feature, they might also be able find the phone themselves (just remember to put the SIM back in and keep the phone on). You could also try your luck with Microsoft's support if you get the number associated with the SIM card.
Can you swipe down to see anything in the action center? If they set their phone to see it without lifting the lockscreen, then that might provide you with some clues to contact the owner.

That's usually what happens with a stolen device and if it is yours all you need to do is put your Google account and password in and that will go away and if you can't remember the password then just reset your password and wait 72 hours for the phone to allow the new password to work other than that we don't give out ways to bypass security because then everyone who steals someone's phone would just come here to get the answer to get away with it and I'm pretty sure no one's going to want to give the answer to this because you should know your own password or at least be able to reset it!

You've been "assigned" to do something you don't know how to do? Sounds legit!

I kinda find it funny! Lol.
Thread closed.
The simple solution to these problems are basically going to service provider and asking them for the code to unlock it.
There's absolutely no need for such threads.
