Is there any other way to unlock this phone? EditĪfter posting this question, I came across this answer.

I really don't want to have to wipe the phone. The phone is most definitely rooted, as I regularly use several root-only apps.

I tried to use su, but again, I got a Permission denied error. I get the following error when I try to do an ls: opendir failed, Permission denied However, I can't seem to access /data on my phone. This answer suggested going through adb to fiddle with an SQLite database. I rebooted my phone, and though I can easily decrypt it, I can't unlock it. My password kept being rejected, and the "Forgot password" button that I read should come up never appeared. Later, the screen locked due to the timeout being reached, and I wasn't able to unlock it. I tried to change the screen lock PIN, but the settings app wouldn't accept my PIN. The first time I rebooted the phone, I was able to get past the lock screen with no trouble. I recently installed CyanogenMod 10 on my Galaxy Nexus. I have a similar problem as the one described in this question, but that question doesn't solve my problem.
