How to bypass pattern lock without factory reset/data loss. I can't recover through google email and password as the internet is off and I can't turn on because device is locked, also usb debbuging is disabled. Please help!
Install the TWRP Recovery
Reboot to the Recovery
Go to Advanced -> File Manager
Browse to /data/system
Delete all .key files (password.key, gesture.key etc)
Reboot to system and type any password or use any gesture, it will unlock.

tested on delevopers rom's
Still didn't clear the lock screen. Help!
I think the title says it all, but if you ever set up your newly installed custom ROM only to find hours later that your phone is encrypted!!!
Now you went ahead and wiped your entire internal storage and successfully decrypted your phone. Your phone boots up and asks to enter your PIN. You proceeds to enter you PIN but you get a "Wrong PIN" error.
Now, this is an extremely frustuating error, but fixing is extremely easy if you have TWRP installed.
Follow the below steps to fix the error:
Go to TWRP ==> Advanced ==> File Manager
Navigate to /data/system folder
Delete the *.key files (There must be two of them)
Delete locksettings.db , locksettings.db-shm and locksettings.db-wal
After that, reboot the phone and the lockscreen wont ask for PIN. Congrats!
Your phone is unlocked and if you want, you can set new PIN normally.
Works perfect on Mi 6 !!!!!!
Thanks a lot!
Didn't fix it on my P600
Need help with this one:
Flash the latest RR Rom yesterday, with the latest OpenGapps, all fine. In the setup I decide to put a PIN on start, so to boot the phone I need to enter a PIN. When reboot the phone a window come up and ask for the code but... theres no keyboard or way to insert the code to boot the phone.
Decide then to reflasg the rom, so reboot the phone to recovery and in TWRP a window come up and ask for a password. Insert the PIN to boot the phone but says that the password was invalid. Hit cancel and go to the recovery but I can't acess to any internal storage, when try to Wipe anything an error apear: unable to mount storage".
I think the phone is encrypted. To solved this a need to format userdata and I will be allright?
I cant use the phone now. Sorry for my english.

Yeah it would appear that your phone has encrypted your internal storage. If you can still boot into the ROM, try setting another PIN, password or pattern and also check in Settings > Security > Encryption to see if it is indeed encrypted. If you changed the lockscreen security, try booting into TWRP again and try out your new password.
Otherwise, yes you will need to format userdata to remove encryption and make sure the ROM does not have it set to encrypt by default. (I thought that RR doesn't do that).
Problem solved, format userdata and reflash the all rom.
I wanted to flash a ROM, so I wiped system etc, then flashed a TWRP img and after I reboot to TWRP it asks me to enter a encrpytion password , but I haven't set any!!! please help
The password is your PIN/password on Android.
If you have a pattern, you can switch to a PIN or password to decrypt the storage on TWRP, or you can type the password in this order:
-1 2 3-
-4 5 6-
-7 8 9-
For example, if my pattern is a "L", I would type on TWRP: 14789

Hi, i have the same problem, i've just unlocked bootloader, (forgot to remove screen lock pin+imprint), installed TWRP. and keeps ask about password. The partition is encrypted in recovery.
I've tried to erase userdata from fastboot, wipe data and format data from twrp.
Any help how can i get rid of the encryption?
Should i lock and unlock the bootloader again?
After i've unlocked the bootloader i didn't boot normally in android and wanted to install twrp.
i come from Nexus devices and it's way more easier there!
erasing partition from fastboot make it have no filesystem or whatsoever and twrp sees that as encrypted filesystem . just press cancel or skip button at twrp encryption screen and it should show up twrp main menu. from there format data partition with ext4 and reboot. at least that's how I solved the problem. I highly recommend doing backup of your data first like photos , music etc. before messing with anything
I bought a Redmi Pro 5 from Banggood and have had no problems until two weeks ago. While I was using it, it rebooted and took me to the password unlock screen where my password no longer worked.
I have made no modifications to the phone other than enabling the developer options and turning on the USB debugging option. When I attempt to reboot into recovery mode, I'm prompted with an image outline of the phone indicating that I need to connect to it via the usb port.
When I connect to the phone via usb, I can see the device using
adb.
What can I do to bypass or remove or bypass the password lock?

To remove the encryption, boot into fastboot mode and use the following command: "fastboot format userdata"
It will delete everything. Thats how i decrypted mine.
Edit:
Nevermind, . I thought the recovery was asking for password.
