Hello:<br />
<br />
I have a user that had her work email on her personal Android phone(Galaxy S4). &nbsp;I instructed her that if she wanted to keep her work email on her personal phone, we needed to encrypt her phone. &nbsp;She agreed.<br />
<br />
1. &nbsp;The user has a password; but, it was only 5 letters/characters.<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;a. &nbsp;The built-in encryption software requested that the password be changed to at least 6 characters.<br />
<br />
2. &nbsp;We did that and finished encrypting the phone.<br />
<br />
The phone is working just fine; but, the user has asked me to change her password again on her phone. &nbsp;She does not like the new password that she put on the other day. &nbsp;When I encrypted her phone the wizard stated that there is no way to un-encrypt it (Galaxy-S4). &nbsp;I am wondering how we can change the password on an already encrypted phone?

How to change a password on the Android Phone after you have encrypted it

Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, televisions, automobiles and other electronics. Applications are usually developed in Java programming language using the Android software development kit (SDK), but other development environments are also available, including Delphi, Ruby and Visual Studio (using C++).

A smartphone or smart phone is a mobile phone with an advanced mobile operating system that combines features of a personal computer operating system with other features useful for mobile or handheld use. They typically combine the features of a cell phone with those of other popular mobile devices, such as personal digital assistant (PDA), media player and GPS navigation unit. Most smartphones can access the Internet, have a touchscreen user interface, can run third-party apps, music players and are camera phones. Most Smartphones produced from 2012 onwards also have high-speed mobile broadband 4G LTE internet, motion sensors, and mobile payment mechanisms.

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.
