When the phone boots up and the SIM PIN screen shows up, after entering the PIN the phone shows "Please try again in 26 seconds", effectively not letting me unlock the phone until half a minute has passed. I have rooted the phone but I haven't tampered with the security settings other than going to settings and clearing credentials (Settings -> Security -> Clear Credentials, I did this to get access to the None and Swipe methods of unlocking the screen)
What causes this, and how can I fix it? It's really annoying.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I restart my phone daily, and after powering off, when I start it, I initially get the swirling dots, and then the screen to enter my pin ( white screen - not the lock screen). After I enter the pin, in get swirling dots again, and it then show me my home screen..
That is the normal behavior... Worked fine every day... Till today.
Today, when I powered off, and powered on, I never got the initial screen to enter my pin. After the swirling dots, it took me straight to my lock screen and asked for my pin. No idea what changed. I didn't decrypt my phone. Settings/ security still shows encrypted. I've restated 3 times, no difference. Straight to lock screen. Any ideas as to what has happened?
I'm on stock 5.0.1, rooted with auto root, boot loader unlocked. Nothing else. No change since the day I flashed 5.0.1 images. I did not disable encryption.
Edit: the only thing that comes to mind is that I installed last pass premium, and enabled it in accessibility. I then removed the app ( didn't like it) - not sure if that could have caused this issue?)
Looks like it is a known bug

I also had that problem, for me was the solution to go to security and change my password what i have set. So I don't select pin but password. Then restart the phone. If right is will ask for you password. And then go to you lockscreen. If it works you can switch back to pin again. Hope it helps

thank you for trying to help the op amyways
FWIW- I'm having this problem now/still... On two devices, oddly/incidentally.
I posted this elsewhere... But I'm having the same problem. Any thoughts? I can post more details, but don't want to repost this everywhere that I see people having the same unresolved problem.

* It used to be that when I did a reboot or shutdown and restart, I would have to enter a password before the system fully started.
* But now the phone boots into the phone without putting in my password. I can reboot the phone and it will boot all the way to the Lock screen, and I can unlock the lock screen with my fingerprint or my backup password.
* I am concerned that somehow my device is either no longer encrypted or that there is some setting which has stored the boot password.

I just got this too after I've uninstalled Greenify, which adds an Accessibility app, and I guess it triggered this.
Reset your password/PIN again, check the "ask at boot" option and that's it.
Hi there. I have the Huawei Mate S CRR-UL00. Here in South Africa, we stopped getting OTA updates after Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, which has been really frustrating. So I decided to do a manual update to Marshmallow using the Middle East update from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-s/general/huawei-mate-s-firmware-crr-ul00c185b355-t3411584
That was a couple days ago, and everything has been running brilliantly... Up until this morning.
Without me changing a damn thing, all of sudden the option to have no screen lock password has been greyed out due to it being disabled by "device administrator, encryption or credential storage". None of those things have been set for this. I've also gone through every fix I could find online, like clearing out the credential storage and disabling the device administrators. No luck.
But then while going through everything on the phone trying to find what could have done this, I realized that I'm no longer getting detailed notifications on the lock screen. But here's where it gets weird. When I go to the setting to change this, IT'S NOT THERE. If I search the settings, it finds the correct option, but when I click on the search result to take me to the correct screen, there's nothing.
I'm a little bit stumped on this one and could really do with some guidance.
go to settings > screen lock and passwords
go to password
go to pattern
draw a 4 point pattern
enter backup pin 0000
lock device with power button
unlock device with power button to show lockscreen
enter a WRONG pattern
wait 30 seconds
enter your backup pin (0000)
it should reset your lockscreen security password should be
set back to "none".
I cannot disable the screen lock!
I believe it is a result of that fact that I just enabled the Find My Device feature via google.com/android/device manager. I set up a password there. Then my phone locked, and I had to enter the pw to unlock it. Now, I always have to enter that pw to unlock the phone. I tried to turn off the password lock in the phone settings. Under Screen Lock Type, it says password. I am required to type in the pw, to turn it off. It temporarily changed to "Swipe", No Security. But then as soon as a navigate away from this screen on my phone, it goes back to "Screen Lock Type" - Password. I can't disable the screen lock! It's driving me nuts. So, I turned off the Find My Device feature. I also went into Phone Administrators and removed the radio button next to Find My Device. That didn't do it. I restarted the phone. I disabled google smartlock (I don't know if that is relevant). That didnt' work either. I read something about selecting Clear Credentials, but that option is grayed-out on my phone.
Please Help!!!
I had my S10 in auto restart mode. When I happened to check my mobile in morning it was not ACCEPTING my PIN. Ultimately I had to FACTORY reset my phone. Now the problem is that it is not ACCEPTING any new PIN or BIOMETRICS. With a message saying "SCREEN LOCK WAS ALREADY CHANGED. PLEASE TRY AGAIN WITH THE NEW SCREEN LOCK". ANY SOLUTIONS?
I have the same problem, I have not changed the PIN and now i can't unlock the phone, restart... funny joke
SOLVED: restart the phone (Power and Volume down key for up to 45 seconds.) + factory reset
But i havent saved my data. How could i have it restarted without loosing my data? Help. Ayuda
Hello everyone,
today I updated my phone (security update from xiaomi) so i had to restart my phone.
After restart it asked me to insert my PIN instead of Print, so I wasnted to put it in as usual but the pin is just never correct.
IS there a way to go around this WITHOUT LOSING DATA if im the true owner with correct fingerprint, all accounts verified etc?
The phone is not rooted neither with custom recovery.
Method 1:
1. After typing wrong password continuously for 5 times, you will see a screen with message “Phone has been locked” with “Forgot Password” option at the bottom.
try that
