  14. John says:

    So, I have an Honor 8 running Nougat/EMUI5 and this doesn’t appear to work for me. I can follow this, but when I enter a pattern, it does NOT ask me for a backup pin. It just sets the lock to “Pattern” and that is it.

    If I then lock it and enter the wrong pattern 5 times, it says to “wait 60 seconds and try again” — and forces me to wait until I can try the pattern again. Never asks for any backup password.

    Any ideas?

    Yes thank you so muchI, after trying a bunch of things to try to clear credentials and what not and nothing was working then Google told me to go to android lost.com and that didn’t work, so thank you so much. I was skeptical I will admit lol but it worked perfectly on my Huawei xt ascend… it was a life saver, I put the pin on, then it was such a hassle I wanted it off badly and that stupid none wasn’t selected…why Da Fuq they do they to us????? Was that really necessary.. who is in charge of the none option, cause that was a lot of.research just to get the Damn thing OFF, anyways, thank you again.
