Help Able to unlock phone with any pattern

[TheArchedOne]

There's some weird stuff going on with my old phone. Pattern lock is enabled, but any pattern unlocks it. I'm worried this might be a sign the phone has been compromised or something. Has anyone seen this before? Also lookout security app is constantly force closing.

Phone is HTC desire S running android 2.2.2.

I'm going to reinstall lookout and try resetting the pattern lock but wanted to post here in case this was anything sinister.

TAO

Doesn't sound sinister, sounds like corrupted data. Reinstall lockout, turn off pattern lock (yes, I know, it's effectively off - turn it off), then turn it on again.

If someone had physical access to your phone and USB Debugging is turned on they could have hacked their way past your pattern lock using ADB.
