image description I created a large (long) password using "mazelock". When the phone is restarted the password will not fit ... I was able to replace the folder / usr / share / lipstick / devicelock /. The phone is on, I can use them very well, but to do a complete reset still need to enter the password ... What file contains information about the password ..?

  1. there is no spoon
  2. the keyboard input device lock code is usually the maze-pattern typed on a keypad, if there is a length mismatch, maybe try 4.
  3. there is no point in replacing the file with a file from another phone (it does not work that way), see 1.
  4. did you ask the mazelock developer for help?
  5. a "lost" (as in lost for good) device-lock-code can only be recovered by reflashing the device, which can only be done by Jolla or Optima staff

Thanks for the answer! Yes, I applied with coderus .. he was trying to help me! But the problem is that the creating code in mazelok I miss a single digit (sliding your finger on the numbers "1" to "3" I can not miss "2"), and if the code consists of a large number of digits then the error (missed digits) can be a lot ... I have root and I can replace everything through ssh (edit or delete) on my phone. If I find out which file is saved password - I replaced it (delete). Now I can use the phone without limits, but to do a full reset - need the code.

Try this. https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201440487#4

If your device is asking you for a lock code you don't remember, or for a code you don't remember configuring with your device, only qualified Jolla service can unlock the phone

@simo: To get the correct Code when you remember your mazelock pattern think of the maze as the following:

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

What's "abttery", I wonder? :)

(A typo in the zendesk article, for future readers who find it fixed and wonder WTF I am talking about.)

Thank you, but I do not know the lock code. Which file contains the code? I need to know the code

Victorious ( 2015-10-21 20:27:06 +0200 )edit

The answer is right their you need to send your device to repair. Because it cannot be recovered at home.

I think I need to find out what file is stored password and replace it with a new one (from another phone)

And how are you planning to replace any file without knowing the code first? If that was possible we would have a pretty insecure device... If you don't know your code, just follow the guidance in this answer please. But if you know your code as mazelock pattern, you can use the relative numbers in terminal:

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
