AVG Vault - Pin Stopped Working

I attempted to access files within AVG Vault this morning and my PIN number no longer works.  I am 100% sure that I am entering the correct PIN.

This was the first time that I had tried to use the app since my phone was updated to Android 4.4.2 last week.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

Hey reinstalling the app do help :slight_smile:

Hi Suzette,
You can unlock phone using web interface (https://www.avgmobilation.com/).
Please make sure your phone is connected to internet (wifi since new sim is not working).
Thanks

my phone just shut down without warning and I was unable to turn it back on until I took out the battery and put it back in, then it told me it was stolen and prompted me to enter a password I tried for hours to get back in and I was not able to get in, why is this happening to my phone?  It is NOT LOST OR STOLEN.  I have been trying to contact AVG since last night since they are supposed to have 24/7 help and up to now no one has contacted me, all I want is to remove their product from my phone, it is certainly more trouble than it is worth.

Thanks for your reply Mike …  your feedback made me realize that it had nothing to do with a server or account issue on an AVG server.

I did the following to fix it on my phone:

1) Went into AVG Vault app settings, cleared data and cache
2) Opened AVG Vault app, when prompted for "new pin" I entered my original pin
3) Selected the option to log in with my existing AVG account
4)  Linked the app to Google drive with my normal Google account
5)  Viola !  It works normally again.

It looks like something that the app needs gets clobbered when doing a firmware update.  At least it wasn't too painful to fix.

Have a great day !!

After I done a firmware update for my Zopo ZP980 (http://playfuldroid.com/zopo-zp980-specifications-and-price/),  I face the same issue as you. But mine is only at Jelly Bean. Any other Zopo owners facing this issue as well?
