Bootloop after requiring password on startup



Hi guys,

I am kind of stuck here.

I am using the xtrasmooth rom with the elemental x kernel (Marshmallow) and everything worked fine. Today I decided to add a little more security, so in the security settings I required a password when starting up android. I had been using the feature a while ago on android 5.x and everything worked fine.

Somehow my phone crashed today and now I am stuck on bootloop. It is not even asking me to enter a password.

However, I can access the recovery (TWRP) normally after entering my password to decrypt storage. I tried to wipe system and restore a backup. Still no success. I did a fresh clean install but no sucess again. It's always stuck on bootloop.

I don't want to factory reset or flash the complete stock image, since I do not want to lose my data. I tried to active ADB Sideload in TWRP, but somehow that is stuck at "starting adb" after cancels after a while with no success.

Do you guys maybe have an idea how to fix the problem? I guess I would need to disable the password but I do not know how to do that without an functioning rom.

Many thanks for your help!!
