Huawei Mate 8 forgot password

Bypass(Reset) Lock screen Pattern/Password/PIN/Fingerprint scanning without wipe

We know it's a big pain when you forget PIN/Passowrd/Pattern and you simply can't afford to wipe device as you don't have backup.
Then What?
You were all the night busy with your new beast and when you wake up in morning and notice that your GF/BF took revenge by registering and locking device by his/her fingerprint
Then what? :p

Very simple. Flash attached file from recovery. :)
I can't remember my pass word. I take it that this method is now out dated and won't work for my phone?

What happens if the phone is corrupted at the 90% and putting the flash file in doesn't work? I still don't want to do a full factory reset on account that i lose everything. Any other suggestions

Will it work for Redmi phones?

I just wanted to ask whether this method will work for Redmi phones as well?
If there is any other method then also please let me know

Worked for pattern bypass

This does not work on Galaxy S5
Though every case may be different, this worked on my Galaxy S5.
It was a phone I bought off a police auction and only had the pattern lock (so I'm not saying it will work on fingerprint) and it was running BOF3 Android 5.0

However, I did not flash it as intended. I flashed it using stock recovery. In stock recovery I did update through ADB, sent the zip file through ADB, a couple of signature errors popped up but because the file was so small, it mustve completed the transfer and the phone reset and sat at the ATT screen for quite a while. I thought it didn't work.
But lo n' behold, after a good while it went to the setup device screen. So that is to say, I'm not sure if it actually spared me of a factory wipe as the device appeared as if it had just been through a factory wipe, but I suppose if nothing was on the phone before than it worked. Though I did see the phone's console (during adb sideload) say that it wiped data, so maybe it didn't work as intended, but no account lock either way.

Besides, I shouldn't be snooping at someone else's photos anyways *slaps self on the wrist*

I had the same problem. For clean up purposes, I'd deleted everything in the EFS directory. Then I used TWRP to wipe the cache and dalvik partitions. When I went to re-register my fingerprints, it did not recognize my fingerprints, or backup password., even though I'd just unlock the phone with the password.

Psyching myself up to try some of the suggestions made here, I thought i'd just try high king's suggestion to delete /data/validity/template.db for grins (see post #66). Now I'm grinning! It worked! Thanks!

Sorry for possibly being an idoit, but how exactly do you install this? I have gone into recovery and installed the zip through the sd card and ADB both, they both fail to install.
