I already read many threads about forgotted pin but I think mine is different.
I installed avast on my android device (Samsung Galaxy S2 with ICS 4.0.3). On the first time I ran it it asked me about anti-theft installation. I proceed to install then config. I configured a PIN number (I know it, I didn’t forget it!). After to finish anti-theft install, Avast now shows PIN screen. I already tried my pin, many standard combinations like all zeroes, 123456, etc… None of them worked for me.
Now the odd part: if I use the recovery option, I receive in the another configured device the temporary PIN. But it is: “O reme”. Shouldn’t it to be all numeric digits?
What could be wrong?
Please help me. I gave admin rights to anti-theft, my device is not rooted and I don’t want to make a hard reset!
that’s really weird, it should definitely be digits. Is this the whole message you get?

PS: I think the whole message should be “O remetente deste SMS pediu-nos que lhe enviássemos um novo PIN do avast!. O novo PIN é “PIN” e é válido para os próximos 30 minutos.”
Yes, that’s all.
I think you are right about the SMS text…
I think that I will have no choice, right? :-[
If I have root access to device, would I be able to remove anti theft?
