Hi all,
I'm very confused and frustrated. Per my Google Apps Admin policies, I had to encrypt my phone. I followed the encryption procedure (which required that I have the phone charged to 80%+ and plugged in). Before encrypting the device, it asked me for a pattern password. I assumed that it was asking me for my lock screen pattern, so I entered that but I found it odd that it said something along the lines of "you'll need your password to decrypt your storage" (something like that...).
It never once asked me for a PIN or Password.
The encryption process started. And I fell asleep waiting for it.
The next thing I knew, my phone was making clicking sounds (???). I woke up and looked at my screen: "Type password to decrypt storage". I've literally tried EVERY combination of ANY password I might have to no avail. ...I never set a password! I also tried a few PINs I figured might have been preset (1234, 0000). My next thought is that maybe the pattern I entered right before encrypting the device was somehow set as my password... but there's no way for me to enter a pattern. I googled "convert pattern to password" figuring a pattern is probably stored as an integer, which I could maybe try entering -- couldn't find anything helpful there, though.
I'm on a RW Moto X with Android 4.4.2.
PS: Why does Android constantly click if you leave the screen on?!
