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.

How to check if my settings are all back up to Google?

I'm about unlock the bootloader and root, but I just want to be certain that my settings are all backed up. I don't mind losing pictures (dont have that many), but I would rather not have to go and set my whole phone back up the way I like it if I can help it. I have it checked under Backup and Restore, but does that just happen automatically?

only way to check would be to wipe data(factory reset), then restore your account. you will see if it did or not. but yea, that setting works for me.

What exactly does google back up? Do they also back up your texts and call log? App Data?

it backs up your main settings, homescreen layout(and app), and your wallpaper. that other setting with apps just backs up your apps, not app settings(very very few).

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...

Multiple Accounts

I know that you can put multiple accounts on the fire, but I have a problem. I added another account but it was the wrong one, so I removed it. Then I tried adding the right one again, now it says I have to wait 180 days. Is there any way to bypass this so that I can login another account?

Slightly drastic but I guess factory reset would do it.

Are You Sure It would fix it.

Sure? No, not done it. Maybe it's just based on the accounts, but seems odd that they'd stop you putting things on a clean tablet.
Unless it's down to drm things with the accounts.

notification issues on my p30 pro

Hi guys
I have a persistent problem with my p30 pro. I get notifications very late or not at all only if I open the app (whatsapp, messenger, email etc) then I get all messages at once. Its very frustrating because I had some important ones sometimes. Is there any fix for this? Anyone having same problems at all?
Also after I cleaned up some bloatware, I am not able to log in my mobile banking app. Is there any package I have to install back?
Please help... Thank you very much.
Regards
Alex

As you have a chinese version of the phone and you installed the GMS(if you did for having Google services) separately, therefore your notifications won't work properly, because many apps notifications are GMS related and your phone might not be Google certified. The same problem is present on P40 / P40 Pro users that bought the phone without GSM preinstalled and tried (some of them managed to install it, some of then didn't) to make notifications work, but they are out of luck. There are some replacing apps for email or messages, but need testing.
Your mobile apps were working before removing bloatware? If your answer is yes, remember what you removed (if you used my guide in order to remove, you can see there the way to reinstall the apps WITHOUT Factory Reset your device) and reinstall them using ADB.
Cheers,

Yes my mobile banking was working before the bloatware clean. I am trying to figure out which one affected the app and reinstalling them back as we speak. Hope I get the right one back.
Thanks alot buddy

Will definitely do buddy. Thanks
I was thinking to do a factory reset and start fresh again but realized that the mobile banking still lets me use the mobile token only to sign payments. Reinstalling the bank app requires a bank visit in person, for them to authorize the app with a code(stupid if you ask me, should be done by phone as well).

BTW if I install for example Evie launcher and use adb to remove huawei launcher would it work after reboot ? And if I mess things up would I fix them with factory reset ? Just don't want to brick the phone.

Awkward about the bank app (which bank is it)? Can't you do it over the internet, regardless the lockdown period we're on? Like they do it when you want to create an new acount (videocall, you ID's...)?
If you remove the default launcher, the chances to get errors are pretty big . And YES, if you mess up things on it, you can Factory Reset the device and all is back, like when you unboxed your phone.
