Q. This phone is my daughters and she gave it to me to use with WiFi only. There is no service on the phone. It is a Galaxy S Android. She can not remember the password which is a shape. I was told by a computer friend of mine that it can be reset but he has no idea how to do it. Anyone out there know this procedure?
A. Turn the power off. If your Samsung Galaxy S is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
Hold the Volume Down button
Press and release the Power button
You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
Press and release the Power button
Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO
If you selected YES, all data including third-party applications will be deleted from the Samsung Galaxy S. Once the wipe is complete, the phone will reboot to its factory fresh state.

How do I completely reset my galaxy s3?
Q. I just bought a galaxy s3 from craigslist, but it's running on stock android. I want it to run on touchwiz. I have tried to factory reset the device through the settings. I have also tried to factory reset the phone using the physical keys, but the stock android remains. HELP!
A. Heh, it's rare to see one that prefers touchwiz today. Well, that's great, I actually prefer touchwiz, too (some of the developers also agree).
It most likely has stock android because it is rooted (you probably already knew that), by the way I prefer not having touchwiz on the S3 because you don't gain as many benefits as having touchwiz on the Galaxy note 2 (gives you the ability to use the S-pen).
I suggest you look around the xda-developers forum, I can provide a link in the source, and since it has stock Android it is probably already rooted and has a recovery for flashing ROMs (modified OS for performance and other tweaks/mods, some relating to security upgrades and stuff). I'm not sure what carrier that Galaxy S3 has but since it's probably rooted, it is also probably unlocked too. I provide a general Galaxy S3 android development area in my source, however... well... yeah... you probably have a different carrier. IF NOT, then this thread will just work, you can contact me via e-mail or google chat via ichigoyeh@gmail.com or google+ and I can help you.
EDIT: By the way I'm currently looking at the ROMs available there and will update this post with one with touchwiz, you can provide more information in your question by editing but hey. Also it's best if you don't paste your phone number here so I could help you via that, too. By the way are you by chance looking for a mobile carrier? As I know one that you might be interested in that is prepaid and works under the T-mobile network, however requires a referral ($49 for unlimited talk, text, data, and also has benefits that allow you to save but you'll have to be interested for more details).
UPDATE: The classic Omega ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663656 should fit your bill. Performance enhancements and mods and tweaks that are only beneficial, with no bugs, all on top of Touchwiz. Please go to settings>about phone and check your baseband and model (for example for the model number it could be something like i9250XXDLLJJ or i9300t889), post it in your question or e-mail me (could give phone number so I could call you and help live, as this might take much longer).

What do you do when you forgot your password on your android phone?
Q. My sister took my phone & changed my password then she forgot it& my google account isn't letting me log in. What should I do?
I can't put in the password anymore because I tried too many times.

A. go to recovery mode then choose wipe data/factory reset to erase current setting though it'll also delete ur installed apps(downloaded apps) to( but won't delete system apps)
I dunno what's ur phone model so that i can't tell ya how since each Android phone type has different way to enter into a recovery mode. just find the right one according to ur phone model, as an example type this on Google search bar "how to enter a recovery mode on Samsung galaxy s2?" usually in a form of phone buttons combos to perform it.
