I use fingerprints to unlock my phone and, for whatever reason, it said I could not and to use my loving knock code. Well I forgot it, but in the past if you made enough attempts you could recover the account by clicking Forgotten Password or whatever and - you know - enter your username and password which makes loving sense and is far more secure

But now instead it gave me a warning that if I enter the password wrong just one more time everything will be erased.

So because the phone was previously reset I have to enter my google account info to continue to use it.

WHY COULDNT I PUT THIS INFORMATION IN BEFORE TO ACCESS THE PHONE , SINCE APPARENTLY THATS WHAT YOU NEED TO ACCESS THE loving PHONE AFTER THE RESET

On iOS you can turn off that setting. Also you can just restore/wipe out your phone but save your pics at the same time even if you forgot your code.

E: when you hook it up to iTunes/iPhoto I mean.

I just set up a Knob Code where I can unlock my phone by putting the tip of my dick on the fingerprint sensor. Seems pretty safe.

I never lock my phone. It's always in my pocket or otherwise near me and it's not like I have a bunch of top secret poo poo on it. If someone wants to look at my handful of photos or check out what you nerds are posting today then I suppose they can.

I guess locking it would frustrate someone if they stole it, but knowing my luck I'd wind up in the same boat as the OP if I did so.

Sometimes my fingerprint sensor works and sometimes it doesn't depending on how greasy my thumb is and how my waterproof case decides to shift its fingerprint sensor cover. I hate typing in my password I want it to be EASY. Blarh

No, even though I DO have a backup pin number (wtf is that for if you cant use it)

You cant use your actual login details that they then require you to put in AFTER they force you to reset

Yes, dont forget your pattern guys.

I talked to tech support before my Final Attempt and they suck sux to be u bro essentially

A gay rear end pattern that you set when you first get the phone. Since I did that exactly one time (as it has a very effective fingerprint sensor), and it explicitly tells you to also provide a backup pin (which I know) and the fact the phone USED to be unlockable via username and password (which I know) I didn't really think forgetting a pattern would reset my phone. You also get exactly ONE WARNING, the "final attempt" message that says if you enter it wrong one more time everything will be erased.

It definitely didn't used to do this, when you look it up there are tons of articles and posts about "well just push the Forgot Password button that pops up after you enter too many wrong attempts"

nice
