Blackberry Priv security Issue/Major Flaw

[Gypsyfaixd]

Fellow BB users & Experts,

Here's the thing, I forgot my lock pattern shape and I added the setting of Android won't start without that lock pattern shape. There is no timer. a Google account option. or whatsoever. I tried pressing the volume button along with the power button to enter the safe mode but tough break. I cannot even start my android or use the ADM setting. Please HELPPP!

Hi!

Do you have BlackBerry Protect or the equivalent installed on your laptop or computer?

If not, contact @BlackBerryHelp on Twitter. Send them a direct message. I know it sounds silly, but they check that.

Please keep us updated on this. So sorry this happened to you!

Edit: Head on over to CrackBerry, our sister site. The mods and helpers there are really good at what they do and I'm sure the Priv-specific forum will be of use to you, as well.

With pattern set up, isnt there still the option to enter in a back up password if you have forgotten the pattern.
I haven't had experience with the pattern lock.
I currently use picture password with the password required on boot up as well. However when I turn in my phone, it doesn't use picture password, it just uses the primary password.

So, the security issue / major flaw is that you forgot your unlock pattern and can't get into your phone? Isn't that the point? I'd say that the security issue / major flaw was if you could bypass the unlock pattern. I guess I just don't understand the point of having security on your phone lol
