Worked great.. did the Aroma method because I already had that installed... just a note. at&t Galaxy S4 4.4.2 mine was sparepassword.key and there was not password.key and I was using a password.

tnx dude

is there any way to bypass email verification???

if not...can you make it ...??

Note 3. 1,4,5 and 6 didnt work. Kept getting settings.db permission denied error.

Method 7 didnt work either. all I could see was gesture.key, deleted it but it ddint get rid of my pin lock.

METHOD 7
Solution For Everyone With Recovery Installed :
INSTRUCTIONS:

1.Download and Copy Aroma File manager.zip (Download from attachments) to your memory card.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You saved my day! :laugh::laugh:
This worked BUT: The aromafilemanager.zip didn't work, I had to download it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
So, please update the link, with the zip linked above it worked perfectly! :good:

//edit: And there is one more very simple way, if you have activated the device manager as device administrator (for some odd reason my phone deactivated all device admins, that's why I locked myself out in the first way, I use TimePIN and suddenly my code and the failsafe didn't work ) :
Go to https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager klick on "lock" and enter some pin like 1234, the current lockscreen will be overwritten by the 1234-lock.

Thank you so much!

My Galaxy S2 slipped from my hand and battery popped out. After turning the device on, the phone would not accept my PIN! Strange as it seems.

Tried method 6 initially, but did not work. However went for Method 7 and profit!

I had TWRP recovery already in place, so didn't actually had to use the aroma file manager.

Thank you so much again. Weird days!

Here's a simple windows app I made that will do all that with just one click over ADB http://youtu.be/NxzGxb73CQE

Try the option "upgrade from storage"

Normally it's called install zip from sd card. If it's not working, change the recovery.

what one will do if he has stock recovery with usb debugging disabled and has forgotten lock screen pattern or pin ? Is there anyway to enable usb debugging in fastboot or stock recovery or any other way?
