hi

You realize that if it's easy for you to circumvent some (broken!) authentication, it's just as easy for an attacker, right? What you want is not possible, in the end. I guess that's why "factory reset" on "mobile devices" in many cases deletes storage and disables authentication - less chance for personal data to get in the hand of attackers.
