Developer Mode password lock screen bug

My dad and I just stumbled upon this bug that we wanted to let the community know about, should anyone run into a similar issue. Feel free to submit it as a ticket to the BB10/QNX development team as well.
I put my dad's Z10 into Developer Mode to do some testing, and used a basic 4 digit password that I use all the time. Once finished I turned off developer mode and turned off his screen using the lock button.
When he turned his phone back on, he was not able to log in using his own password. So we tried the developer mode password that I had used, and it also didn't work. He tried every possible password he's ever used, and one by one we watch as the password attempts countdown climbed.
At 6/10 we did a battery pull in the hopes it would start the counter over again. No such luck, it booted back up to 6/10. However, the counting then stopped. Password after password we entered, both repeats and new ones, it stayed at 6/10. We gave up and typed in "blackberry" to wipe it, but it didn't respond either. Connecting it to Link was also unsuccessful for a wipe, it was as if the phone was brain dead.
So in one last ditch effort we did a hard reset using the top and bottom volume rocker, and when the phone booted up he tried his lock screen password once more..... boom 7/10.... so then we tried my temporary development mode password and..... VOILA, we got into the phone.
Shortly before I enabled developer mode the phone was updated to 10.2.1.

It's hard to say if this is an actual bug or not or perhaps you just inadvertently changing the password to the developer one without realising, causing the several missed attempts including a possible mistyped developer password.
If you can reproduce this let us know.

I need to restore my iPhone. Once in iTunes, I get an error message asking me to use my passowrd to unlock phone. The problem is that I can't get to the password lock screen. All I can get is the iTunes screen or the emergency call only screen.

yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
no worries

On 9926 but still suffering the lock screen bug (KB3016725)

How can I fix the lock screen bug on 9926? The update doesn't want to download on this version. Anyone have a direct link to the patch? Is the patch still applicable to 9926?
TIA!

According to KB Article :"To apply this update, you must have Windows 10 Technical Preview build 9879 installed."
So I doubt if this KB Article fix is applicable for later Preview build (eg.9926).
I shall suggest you to try a system restore to fix the current issue.

HT3802 password lock screen on imac osx 10.6

password lock screen on imac osx 10.6 please help

There is the initial login screen, or you can be automatically logged in after rebooting, which can be specified via:
System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login Options (you will have to click on the Padlock in the lower left corner before you can change any of the Login Options).
The other possibility is:
System Preferences -> Security -> Require password [5 seconds] sleep or screen saver begins
If either of these are not what you are looking for, please provide more information.

Lock screen bug

I don't want a lock screen so I go on settings and all that stuff and where it says get rid of passcode it's grey which means it won't let me how do I get rid of my lock screen

Even if you get rid of your passcode you'll still have a lockscreen.

FaceTime Audio lock screen bug

I figured out that when I'm on a FaceTime Audio call on my iPad in landscape mode, every time I lock the screen the call information shifts to the right about an inch and will eventually go completely off the screen. I'm using iOS 7.1. It doesn't happen in portrait mode.

Even if you get rid of your passcode you'll still have a lockscreen.

TS3694 After updating to iOS 6.1.2, iPhone 5 got problems which are lock screen, Sounds, syncing iTunes?

After updating to iOS 6.1.2, iPhone 5 can't connect to iTunes. When i am trying to connect, then i can connect. After secods, the phone is not connecting with iTunes again. Then Automatically connect to iTunes again by itself.
My sound works with headphones, the alarm works, ringer works but can not listen to any music/videos without headphones plugged in.
Then lock screen bugs; bypass fumble. When I start to open the iPhone and swiping is heavily to do on the slide to unlock. What's the matter with it?

firstly thanks for quick reply.
sorry sir,
i am confused in last line you wrote,
" This will erase the phone but you will be given an option at the end to restore to an existing backup, if you have one."
i did not understand last sentence - if i have one? you mean to say if i have data or not in my iphone?
i have many pictures, messages, contacts which are very much important.
so will it be all restore and will be backup again in my iphone if i restore?
i am extremely sorry to interrupt you again.
waiting for your quick reply
thanks and regards,
vishal

IPhone 6 Camera from lock screen, closes after 1 second...

When I access the camera from the lock screen, it opens for about one second then just blacks out to a screen off mode. I can still get to camera the long way by unlocking screen and clicking on icon, but want to know why the shortcut from lock screen is buggy. Please advise.

I'm not sure what you meant with the first part of your reply. However, the reset seems to returned behaviors to normal... so thanks for that.
Not that it matters much now, but again, the issue was that I wasn't able to go directly into camera mode from Lock Screen... the camera app would appear for one second, then the screen would just go into sleep mode. Unlocking screen with passcode or Touch ID worked fine then opening apps from there all worked fine. Just the camera shortcut from Lock Screen as the issue, but now it is resolved.

Curtain vs. locked screen

Hello
I don't see difference betweeen curtain mode and locked screen mode. In both of cases I can manage the "curtained" or locked clients.
Would anybody explain it?
Thanks a lot.

I could be wrong, but I believe that the only difference is that Curtain locks the screen and then automatically puts you into Control mode, whereas Lock just locks the screen.

Lightroom 4 Bug: can only see photos in Library mode, not develop mode

This may be related to other imported catalog bugs, but does not seem to be quite the same. In Lightroom 4, with an upgraded Lightroom 3 catalog:
1. Select a photo in Library mode.
2. Click on Develop to go to Develop mode
Screen shows "No photo selected". I cannot edit photos in Develop mode.
I can see and edit photos that are found in smart collections, but not photos that are simply in my collections from 2012, 2011, etc. folders

This happened to me, too, after importing a couple older LR3 catalogs (upgrading/consolidating). I could see the photo in Library module but when I pressed "D" (single photo selected) I was getting the "no photo selected" error message--for every photo I tried. I wasn't able to open any photos at all in the develop module. (These were photos that were fine before installing LR4 and upgrading.) Photos were from imported LR3 and LR4 Beta catalogs.
I restarted and everything seems ok--for now!
So if you come across this thread with this same issue, restart and see if that helps. (Before restarting LR I optimized as suggested above, which did nothing for the "no photo selected" issue. And this isn't related to the parent folder issue, I left my photos in the same place and didn't have more than 3k photos in any of the parent folders. I read in other threads that people had the issue again after importing other catalogs. I'm about to do that so I'll report back.

I recently inherited a macbook pro when my good friend passed away. the screen is password locked. is there any way around the login without knowing the password???

How can I get past the password locked login without the password

The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted from the disc, the USB device, or Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

Is it possible to change ur password from lock screen?

My iPod stopped charging after while of use, so I stopped using it, but I found a way to charge it, but I forgot the password on it. Is there any way I can reset the password from the lock screen?
