My buddy forgot his lock screen password on his Fascinate. Is there a way to bypass it without doing a factory reset? (He has pictures of his recently passed-away daughter on his phone that are not on the sd card.)
It doesn't ask him for his Google ID and password after not getting the code right a few times in a row?
You can bypass doing this:
Go into the Dialer and enter *#83786633 then press the Home key
Go back into the phone dialer and enter *#22745927
Now a box will come up asking for the SPC code. Enter 000000
Press the Hiddenmenu Enable radio button.
Now you can use these codes.
Shutdown
*#7594#
This enables you to shut your phone off by long-pressing the power/lock key.
No more pop-up confirmation.
I have tested this and it works successfully.
I've also discovered by doing this, it will disable the puzzle/glass unlock screen.
Personally, having to push a button and slide the screen is redundant.
