Title: Phone locked and can't send bitcoin now
Post by: Emufassa on July 18, 2016, 11:28:41 AM
My company bitcoin account was set with two-factory authorization.  The phone which receives verification code was locked because of wrong passcode. Actually, it was set by a former employee. So how it possible to remove or set the lockscreen passcode without losing any data? It is an old HTC One M7.

there are many ways to unlock your screen lock password for your HTC phone.
1) You can reset factor to your HTC phone, these will wipe your data.
2) Login in your account via Google account if you have.
3) Try some Android screen removal tool to unlock your screen password.

Hi Moddrious,

thanks for the tip. First, I didn't sign in with Google account. And I don't want to lost the data. It would be much appreciated if you would give more details

I'm not an htc freak but you can read this

maybe it helps, also if you know you receive a sms then just put the sim into another phone ... if the code is generated by an application then you pretty much have bad luck and will have to become some htc geek to unlock your phone ... but from that link i understand it's possible. Be careful not to lose any data.
