security unlocking

[TomTurtle]

I secured my phone by pattern. Battery was empty and the phone shut down. I connected it to my PC to recharge because I wanted to browse a little anyway. As I turned on my phone it suddenly wanted to get a code (not PIN, I entered it) and not the pattern I used before! So I am a little helpless right now, because I never had set a code. Is there any standard code ?

I tried entering the wrong code until it was entered wrong 60 times but he won't let me answer any security questions or connect to my google account.

I am still getting WhatsApp Messages... WLAN is active.

Do you have any suggestions to try?

Thanks in advance,

Tom

Do you have an antivirus?

[TomTurtle]

My PC has Kaspersky Internet Security 2014, my phone did not have any AntiVir.

Usually,an antivirus has this kind of issues with blocking a phone.Have you tried a default code like 6 of 0 or 123456?

[TomTurtle]

I tried both. None worked.

But I now remember installung McAffee on my phone. This could be the problem?

Try to boot your phone in safe mode,see how it goes:

I now started the safe mode as you suggested but he still wants to get this code after I entered the SIM PIN.

I just did the software reset and it works now. I lost every data but it works now just fine.
