Here it is:
I have a Moto X that I bought from ATT. I had the phone encrypted. I picked up another Moto X on today's sale so I am selling this one. I did a factory data reset from the recovery as I always do to sell a phone. Unfortunately it is asking for an encryption password when I boot up, but my usual password, that I didn't forget (i've used it forever), is not working. I tried a few more factory resets and cache clears to no avail.
Any ideas ?
P.S. - this phone has never been modified, rooted or messed with at all, bone stock.
Thanks

Flashing back to stock worked, and it worked without USB debugging on.

Hi!!!
Some days ago stopped work WIFI correctly and today i decided to do system restore and i did it. But after restoring i can't get in anymore, it says that the password i typed is incorrect, but i'm sure that it's right password. I have tried to do hard reset, but unsuccessful, it doesn't did.
How i can unlock it or reset it?
Thank you!!
Best regards

Few month ago found out there was a stock option for encrypting the data. After the process everything worked great. However, I decided to try out a different rom and rebooted to the phone into recovery mode. Come to find out it's also locked out by the encryption. First reaction was awesome, android got this on a lock down on all sides. Here comes the bad news. My normal encryption password does not work with the recovery encryption password. It keeps telling me I got the wrong password. It's seems I can't make any changes anymore.
I was wondering, what do you do in this case? I can use the phone as is for now but what if I want to update or sell my phone, what do I do? I can't even full wipe the phone for fresh new rom.
I was under the impression that device protection on lollipop for android one devices would work no different than nexus devices .it turned out to be untrue. I was using stock 5.1 lollipop (encrypted) with no changes to the bootloader or recovery. On downloading the 5.1.1 update I went to recovery amd factory reset the device and flashed it with OTA zip file 5.1.1 . I was then able to go through the setup screen on first boot without it asking me for me google credentials of the previous rom.
Thus proving even if your device is looked and encrypted it can be easily reused by flashing the rom.
that happened because you formatted data sir and do one thing re encrypt THE device and wipe data again see what happens

Thats the point.. thats exactly what a thief would do ie format the data and use the device again.Even after format it should have been locked to my google account.
You don't really get the point of the factory reset do you? The point of the factory reset is to wipe everything and set the phone to the factory conditions. That 'everything' also includes your google account. Name one device that keeps an account that it signed on to after a factory reset, I'll name a unsecure device. Even nexus devices don't do that.
Try not to lose you phone.

My dear friend let me explain the point to you. Device protection for lollipop devices acts as a deterrent for thieves. In case you loose your phone, for a thief it will be nothing more than a paper weight . If you read the first post . I forcefully cleared the phone from recovery just as a thief would do because he wouldn't know the unlock code. However on setting up the phone I should have it hit a dead end because the device should have been locked to the google account of the previous user.
Here read this article to know how it works..Hopefully then you will get the "point" http://www.greenbot.com/article/290...ow-about-device-protection-in-android-51.html
Besides device protection will not work on your phone as you have unlocked the bootloader and replaced the stock recovery which defeats the purpose
pardon my ignorance then...
apparently this feature is only working on N6 and N9.

still if a thief knows how to do a factory reset, he's also able to flash a custom rom or reflash the stock rom without having to login in to the device. Which is really easy process with most phones out there.

This is where the locked bootloader comes into play, an average user wouldn't tinker with the bootloader or stock recovery. To install a new rom one has to unlock the bootloader . Now for a thief he wouldn't be able to unlock the bootloader because the stolen phone will be already locked with the pin even the usb cable won't work. So all he can do is factory reset the device ...had device protection been working as it should have he would have hit a dead end there as well.
Don't know why google didn't enable this feature for android one devices .
Hey guys,
I bought a phone off of Craigslist and it appears that the phone is locked with a password. I tried to go through the bootloader and do a factory reset but I get a message that the MDM Does Not Allow Reset or something along those lines. I have also tried to use Odin to flash a stock recovery, that goes through successfully, but upon starting up the phone it appears that the password is still locked to the phone and nothing changed.
I tried calling the person who I purchased the phone from and there is no answer, so at this point I feel like I lost money and cant use the phone.
Please help

The above post is correct. Odin will be your only option, although keep in mind that "MDM" stands for Mobile Device Management, it's what large companies and schools use to manage devices remotely to install updates and such, kind of like Microsoft Active Directory . Did your Craigslist source seem a bit shady? Because if that phone is linked to a MDM account and it was stolen and currently turned on, it's very likely that someone is going to track it down using it's data connection and gps.
Hi, please have a motorcycle x play XT1053, I'm trying to give a hard reset because my daughter forgot the password to draw, but after the procedure it returns to the ROM that is and does not touch anything. I also tried to update the rom but without success via adb, it returns the same rom with the configurations that are, that is, I can not get back from the factory because I do not have the password nor hard reset because it returns to what is already, somebody can help me ?
