hey thanks for the suggestion i got it downloaded and tried a few times. to no avail.

phone turns on but is stopped by encryption password and the keyboard seems to not be working because android hasent booted yet?. i'm not sure and i'm out of ideas. thx anyways you're the only one to give me something that might have worked

Damn, :(

So it's getting stuck on the pin it seems?

It's a bit of a gamble, but how does your screen look?
Something like this?

Maybe if you could guess where the keys are and try type in your pin. Or get a google image of lock screen, print it and try that?

Haha, sorry it's quite a long shot.

Otherwise perhaps it's possible to get a SIM card from a manufacturer that doesn't have a PIN?

haha i wish my screen looked like that. it's completely shattered and is just black. i encrypted my phone so its not a pin lock its a 14 character password. before i broke it it turns on then you have to enter the password to decrypt it then it boots android and then i would have to enter the password again to actually get past the lockscreen. not sure what would work. i can hear the keyboard click every few seconds as if the shattered screen is pushing on it. but i myself can't type on the screen and make it click. i think i might just have to get the screen repaired wich i planned on doing sooner or later anyways.

Haha wow that's a pretty huge password. Yeah replacing the screen seems like the easiest fix for this issue.

If any of the data was on an SD card it would be retrievable, but I'm sure you know that already

Sorry I couldn't help you further

ya a screen fix looks like the only way. thanks for that program i'm sure it would have worked if i wasn't stuck behind boot encryption and thanks for the help!. almost had it :p.
