For this purpose is there app /usr/lib/qt5/plugins/devicelock/encpartition

Arguments:

Code:

--is-set lockcode
--check-code <oldcode>
--clear-code <oldcode>
--is-clear-device-set ???
--unset-clear-device ???
--imei <something>
--clear-code <oldcode>
--set-code <oldcode> <newcode>
--set-config-key ???
--developermode ????
--clear-device <oldcode>

True/False are returned via exit code where 0 - success, 1 - fail
else as standard output.

Configuration is stored at directory /usr/share/lipstick/devicelock/ and encrypted/hash key is stored at /usr/share/lipstick/devicelock/.devicelock.enc, quite interesting are stored texts at binary file encpartition:
41414141, 42424241, 123456789012345 and /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/QOTP . More on http://www.onlinedisassembler.com/odaweb/4fDoTf/0

Unfortunately still don't know how reset device lock without sending to repair facility or brute-force.

Test all numbers with length 5 takes less than 3 hours on the phone with utilizing 20% of CPU.

For more than two years I lived with the awkward situation to have full control over the device (as root), but being unable to set the lock-code (fortunately "automatic locking" was unset, so the device became my testing phone).

Cheers!
