Wife forgot password anyway around it besides hard reset?

Phone is completely stock. Is there any utilities to get pass the lock screen password? Can the carrier unlock it or Samsung without wiping it out?
Thanks in advance.

Think I've read somewhere that's it's possible via adb, but you'd need usb debugging to have been previously enabled before you got locked out.
That's all I got as a possibility....

Thanks for the reply. Unless usb debugging is checked by default, I'm 99% sure she did not check it.

I don't see it happening I your case. It's kind of the whole reason behind a lock code. Factory reset is going to be your only hope.

I dont know if things have changed. but before if you kept failing. eventually It would ask you if you forgot your password. Then you would it would email your gmail mail account with a link and instructions to unlock your phone.

We've tried so many times and it hasn't prompted us forgot password questions.
I see under the stock recovery you can still side load through adb.

I'm not thinking our phones do that.

I thought I would post what I think was the problem in case someone else has the issue. I think it is Gmail verification feature. It maybe possible if you forget your phone password, you can use the Gmail email password to get in as mention on some of the post? AT&T also said she should be able to unlock phone with Gmail password. Details below.
Phone has been reset a few days from posting this. Good thing pictures are syncing with Google Drive.
I believe the problem why the password would not work is because of Google's verify feature on Gmail. For example when you go on to another computer and try to access your gmail, it will ask for a verification code and send you a text with the verification code. I believe this was the problem because once the phone was hard reset, the phone would not accept her Gmail account password. After diagnosing this issue, I decided to try to disable the verification feature on Gmail. Once it was disabled, I was able to get past the Gmail password issue.
To avoid from this happening again I put Androidlost which will allow me unlock the phone remotely. Great App especially being free. My wife doesn't want the phone rooted so this is the best solution for me plus I been using this App since the Galaxy S2 was released and never had an issue with the App. I actually had the app installed before she got locked out but never finish registering the phone, yeah that sucked. Lesson learned the hard way.
Thanks everyone who tried helping.

If u have linked your phone with android device manager you can simply change the password to whatever you want on android device manager on your desktop.

Can't unlock bootloader (no email from moto)

Anyone else run into the problem of not receiving an email from Motorola with the bootloader unlock code? This is super frustrating.

Mine showed up under the 'promotions' tab, check there?

Dumb question..but spam?
Slapped my Moto

Mine took forever to show up. I gave up and it was there the next morning

I am having the same frustration. Checked in Spam, Promotions and any other area that I could. I submitted mine last night. Although after I submitted for it, it never reverted to another page though and was just a blank webpage. I have no idea if that has anything to do with it at all.

Yeah I'm going on 4 days now. And I've used two different moto x's on three different computers with 3 different browsers. FML. I'm just returning the phones to Motorola. I'm tired of this crap.

Oh wow that stinks! Wish I could help. I did mine on a Saturday afternoon and literally got the email within minutes of requesting it.

Did you try to resubmit ? Maybe a different email?

Yeah, its odd if it isn't instant. Mine have all been there as fast as I could switch browser tabs. There have been times the website has gimped though, so maybe the email portion has been down when you requested the keys.

I resubmitted. I'll try again with another email address this evening.

mine appeared instantly as well. but i was signed in with my google account so i didn't have a choice of what email it got sent to.

i guess you could always just call them and they can figure it out. stupid question but maybe you were signed into a google account that you didn't think you were when you clicked on the button to sign in with your google account... i don't remember it telling me what account i actually signed in with or if it told me what email it was sending it to. but i just did it less than a week ago and it was instant. maybe their servers are screwy or something.
i know someone already said it but there is a junk email box in gmail. didn't notice it before i was looking for an email that didn't come. but clearly you already probably checked that. just thought id mention it.
just thought of this, might not matter at all. but maybe the phone needs to be connected to motorola device id or something. wouldn't make sense that it would matter but i had my motorola device id connected to my google account before i tried to get the code. just another idea.

Would the "junk" folder your referring to be the same as the "spam" folder in Gmail? Sorry but is the Motorola Device id stuff in the Moto Care app? I don't have my X set up with the thing of clearing my phone from the Motorola site. Is that what you are referring to?

i have a spam and a junk folder. I don't know why both of them exist but they both do. By motorola device id i didn't mean being able to clear stuff from motorola. that probably needs to be set up in some motorola app that i don't use. i was referencing:
settings>Motorola Device Id (found under the personal heading on the verizon moto x).
when you click that it asks if you want to connect your phone to your google account. Like i said, i doubt it matters at all for getting the unlock code. it shouldn't anyway. but i figured id mention it just in case it does for some odd reason.
edit: just realized the junk folder i was referencing only gets email in it if you tag something as junk. so yes the spam folder was the correct folder i was meaning to say, not the junk folder.

I had that problem of not receiving the email from motorola when I was requesting the code via Motorola's website for my country (Brazil). When I tried using Motorola's USA website I got the email immediately. So try using the website for another country. You don't need a proxy, just change the location on the bottom of the site (http://www.motorola.com/sites/country-selector/index.html)

Ok I finally got it to work. I signed up for another Google account, and logged into the Moto site using the new Google account. I went through the unlock procedure and it worked first time no problem. I have no idea what's wrong on Moto / Google's end and why the emails got lost in space.

Marshmallow login problem

This is a new one for me, but here it goes:
Coming from a 5.1.1 ROM, a full wipe (just not internal data), then installing one of the two 6.0 ROMs I get the same error upon start up:
After putting in my email address and password, I get the notice "You must login as one of the device owners", or something to that effect. They keywords there would be the device owners...I'm not sure what that means and I've never had a problem with my account.
I've had my same gmail account since 2004 and I'd hate to have to change it only because of Marshmallow.
I haven't seen anyone else experiencing a problem like this, and I'm concerned as to why it seems to be unique in my case. I an NOT encrypted, neither before the install or after (custom kernel).
Unlike Lollipop, there is no "skip" button when logging into a Google account, you HAVE to with Marshmallow upon first install.
Any help would be appreciated.

Did you change your password recently? If so, you'll have to wait 72 hours from changing your password until you can log in again...

The first 6.0 ROM I flashed made me reset my password for some reason. No matter how many times I'd enter in the CORRECT password, I was told something wasn't right and got kicked back to the login screen. Once I changed the password on my PC, I went back to the ROM and thats when the scenario in the OP happened.
It looks like I have to wait...or create a new email address possibly?

No, your gonna have to use your original account to unlock your phone. 72 hours it is...

One question I do have is if I can have multiple gmail accounts linked to one device. I have another gmail account but I looked at the "My Device" settings, and it has no device attached to it and no option to attach one!

Well, yes you can, but you'll have to "attach" the account from the device in question.

I think I just did that, verified phone number, added google account to the 5.1.1 ROM, I'm not sure where else I'd attach the device.

You need to first be logged in, with your original account...
And by the way, I saw you were trying to get help in another thread as well. I don't know why you ended up in this situation (being unable to log in in the first place) but I do know you need to wait 72 hours. If you can't log in after that, come back and we'll try to help you out...

Fingerprint account

Hello all,
Just wondering if there is anyway to create a different account base on the fingerprint.
Someone suggested kids mode but it does not work well.
I was wondering If there's an app that can do this. When ever my daughter gets on my phone and she puts in her fingerprint it opens up to her account without giving her access to my work email, apps, or work pictures.
Thank you

How to register for a vivo account on the phone?

I live in the US. Does anyone know how to register for a vivo account on this phone? I’ve been going back and forth with vivo but, they’re no help at all. I think if you’re living in the US like me this phone is basically useless to you. Which sucks cause I think I’m going to have to return the phone.

If it’s Chinese version then no real way to register unless you know someone in China you trust who can register on their sim.

You can register by email over the Internet.. And then just log in from your phone

Jup, I can confirm that. Have a Nex 3 for a weekend now, and there are some querks in the procedure but it is quite easy to get a Vivo account up and running on the phone. A few of these querks were:
First, on the registrationpage don't forget to click "Send" to let Vivo actually send you the verificationcode, I assumed that it got send after I click Next, but on the page thereafter there is a Send button which you shouldn't forget.
Then it all worked smoothly.
On the NEX 3, in settings, I went to login, and encoutered the +86 requirement again, but there is an "Account password login" option in a grey-ish colour which you should use in order to get to the Email sign-in option. Then just put in password and off you go!
On a sidenote, I can confirm it does allow me to change the launcher!

My modelnumber is V1923A and my software version is PD1923_A_1.12.6. I read somewhere that distinguishing the global from the chinese version is the addition of some "EX"part in them software version, and since I don't have that I assume I got the chinese version.
And yep, running Microsoft Launcher fluently now!

Not sure if this will work, I chatted with this Vivo Global Support guy called Joe, and he was very helpfull and sent me the below picture through messenger.

That's the easy part, now did you find a way to activate the warranty of your Vivo Nex 3 ? It same to work only with a phone number ...

How can i know that my phone is Chinese or international
I've ordered the international version, however no google store? Is this normal and how can i install google services
The version i have is PD1924_A_1.12.9

Hi you just have to download playstore from the net with your browser and install it. That's what i did and everything work fine.

I'm registered and can log on to that as well. But can't log in to my account for the phone itself. I did buy the phone 2nd hand so not sure if that makes a difference. I may try to factory reset it.

Yes, you can try.
In the past when I was using MIUI Roms on my devices, I had to manually disconnect the MIUI account before flashing another version, because the system would detect that the phone had another account attached to it and wouldn't let me use a new account. However I have no idea if Vivo has something similar since this will be my first Vivo phone and I haven't used FuntouchOS roms.
