[Q] Locked out the phone but there is no "Forgot password?" button

kubecicek · May 28, 2014

Hi,

kids were playing with my phone and they locked out my phone with password protection (I hope they have not done anything else).
After few wrong attempts I don't have that "Forgot password?" button which should be there.

I have my phone rooted (Android Revolution HD 33.1) and usb debugger enabled.

What can I do if I don't want to do factory reset?

Thank you very much

Solved my problem

So finally after I spent 4 hours trying to fix this problem. I called HTC tech support and spent few minutes listening to some woman about data connection and that there should be this button and I had to have a working internet connection (which I had). So I was browsing functions of CWM and figured out I can do it like that:

Backup phone in CWM
Do factory reset in CWM
Connect phone to PC and copy AROMA FILE MANAGER to sdcard from PC
Restore backup in CWM
Flash AROMA FILE MANAGER in CWM
In Aroma file manager settings allow automatic mounting of filesystems in CWM
Delete file /data/system/password.key in Aroma File Manager
Reboot

Working like a charm now.
