I have a set a password on my phone and forgot the password. Without haveing to do a hard reset, is there a way to reset it? I hear I am suppose to be prompted for my gmail login info but that is not happening. Any help would be appreciated.
jpal,

OOPS, I see this URL that I saved ages ago refers to your Verizon password and NOT the one you want.
Sorry,

I have worked with many customers who have locked themselves out of their phones. In order for you to unlock your phone you have to attempt to enter your password 5 times. Once the password is rejected on the 5th time you will be prompted to sign in using your Google credentials. I hope this helps. Thanks.
For me that didnt work and i did it over 5 times...
Sorry that you're still having trouble brookechad. If those steps don't work out for you, the next best thing we can recommend is a factory reset. You can find the steps at support.vzw.com Assuming your device is a Samsung Charge, here are the steps to complete a master reset (Alternate Method): http://goo.gl/sXZ2j Let us know if that works for you.Regards,MikeS_VZWFollow us on Twitter @VZWSupport
