you have not mentioned which phone you are using, but i found this step in XDA forum, and this seems to have solved it. Could you check if one of the solution helps you: xda-adm-unlock, check out the post #3 by maysider. Here is the complete snip of the sollution from XDA..

so the BUG is "made by Samsung". Samsung just do not accept any correct PIN or password (maybe because of "wrong" keyboard). could anyone tell me how to remove the lock without wipe? thx

edit:

solution 1) just if you have debugging mode on then follow this solution http://maxoberberger.net/blog/2013/0...ice-using-adb/

solution 2) just if you can change your keyboard for another (if you are allowed when entering password)

solution 3) just if you have Samsung account, log into Samsung Dive >> "unlock" (my case)

solution 4) no debuging mode + no keyboard solution + no samsung account? >> just and only wipe through recovery or Google Device Manager

Happy now, but I was lucky

SAMSUNG BUG in 100 %

HTH.

Edit by Izzy: The link with "solution 1" proposes changes made with ADB, which require root access:

adb shell
cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
sqlite3 settings.db
update system set value=0 where name='lock_pattern_autolock';
update secure set value=0 where name='lock_pattern_autolock';
update system set value=0 where name='lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently';
update secure set value=0 where name='lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently';
.quit
exit
adb reboot

This will unset your device lock completely, as if you did not have defined any.
