Hi -
I have just got the S6 Edge, I setup a password with Thumb Print. However, I have forgotten this password!
Can it be reset?
Yes. Go to fingerprint menu it's in there.

I did the same thing. If you setup a finger print and then go golfing, you can't unlock your phone using finger print because a day of golfing does something to your print and your phone won't recognize it again. I tried to use my password but kept getting it wrong. When I typed it in wrong 5 times, it made me use my google id and password to unlock the phone. Once you do that, you can get into your device and change it.

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if it was possible to reset the unlock pin, I understand it brings a little forgot pattern thing up if you use an unlock pattern, however it doesn't do this if you use a PIN afaik. I changed my pin because my little brother had figured it out and I didn't want him to screw around with it, but then forgot it when I tried to get into it later. Panicked for a while and then managed to get in with the bypass lock screen app in the marketplace. Before that I had tried entering the wrong pin like 80 times in hopes it would let me enter my google account or ask for a PUK. Unfortunately it didnt so I gave up and tried like 70 different combinations of what I thought it would've been. Now I've also used that disable lock screen app from the market to make sure I dont get locked out of it again, however I was wondering if it's possible to now reset the pin now I'm into the phone. If i can I'd like to change it to a pattern so I don't end up in this predicament again, I assume I have to factory reset, and if so is there a way to do a complete backup that includes everything except say settings, so it would manage to reset the PIN. It would be a huge headache to factory restore and do all of my customizations over again, not to mention re-downloading every single app.
Thanks,

Now that you are in...
Can't you just go into settings>Location and Security and select pattern?
how to remove the Unlock pattern?

hey guys, I own a Nexus 4, kitkat original ROM,not rooted, disabled for USB Debugging, and yesterday it fell on the street and broke the lower-right part of the touchscreen, which is right the part that the pattern to unlock is at. So now i'm not able to unlock the phone, and i can't also put the "forgot the pattern" option cuz almost half of the keyboard doesn't work. I'm going to buy a new phone, but I don't want to lose everything I have, so i was looking for solutions to unlocking the phone or at least accessing the files without going through the screen. i won't use it ever again, so any option at all for me to recover the files is good, no matter what. I thought of some ways to recover, but i'm not familiar with them, so i thought you guys could help:
-mirroring the screen on the pc so i could unlock it
-hacking through the password to either access the files on the pc or using the phone
-bypassing the lockscreen somehow
-tricking it so that the pattern would appear at the top of the screen instead of at the bottom
-hell even opening the phone sounds good to me if i could use its files after
thanks in advance,

How about you change your gmail password to coincide with what you CAN press on the keyboard so that when you enter a password, you'll be able to enter it.

Hi All,
I restarted my LG G5 phone and It got to the "enter PIN" @ Secure start-up (after LG Logo ) and the PIN I've always used was invalid. I'm pretty sure I never changed my PIN, but I've used 15 of 30 guesses trying any number that I might have changed it to, and none work. I usually unlock my phone with my finger print, but that isn't possible because this isn't the standard unlock screen, it's the screen before the phone even fully boots up. It's not connected to the internet yet so I can't reset it via Google and there's no "forgot PIN" option.
I don't recall installing or updating new applications recently
Can you help please ?
Thanks,
Rami

I doubt it but you rooted and twrp backed up? If not your pretty much screwed far as your data on phone. Going to have to factory reset it. I've tried all google tricks in book with that problem, but nothing worked.
Sent from my LG-H830 using XDA Labs
Try just one space, or just a '0'. If it doesn't work, one way I've found of getting the network ON when in "secure boot" mode is by doing an emergency call (Dial 112 or 911) and then hanging up. It should enable the network and data connection, but it won't be traceable trough "Find my device". Just to let you know, you CANNOT reset the PIN with your Google Account. It is an extremely flawed function that never worked except for pattern lock. It will let you enter a new PIN or password, but will just tell you that it can't reset it since there is already a password/PIN set.

Excuse me, but how did your situation end, could the secure start-up jump, or did you lose your data?
Hello,
I'm pretty good at computers but when it comes to phones I'm a dummy. I set a password in my Galaxy S5 running samsung-stang5litre edition 5.0 I just bought this phone and it had this ROM installed. I looked up instructions online for this phone to remove it (settings are not working or showing for this ROM) for this phone model and there are no instructions for this ROM. How do I remove the password or do I have to reset this phone ? If I reset the phone will it still ask for the password ? The person who sold me this phone also changed how this ROM looks and deleted almost every program out of it before I bought it. Please help me.
Found help
Since no one answered back I contacted someone to help me. I'd have never figured this out by myself. I'm so glad for his help. This is what worked.
What you have to do to remove that pin, go to Settings>Lock Screen> Screen Lock> Pattern> Setup any pattern, then setup Pin Code with it after you setup the Pattern. (You already have a Pin set in, just use it). It will ask you to type it in twice.
Now Power Off and Power On the phone it will ask for the pattern, do 5 to 6 wrong patterns, it might time you out for 30 seconds after that, on the bottom right of the phone it will say "use your Pin Code", hit that button, type in the Pin which you already setup while you were setting up your pattern, then use that Pin Code to unlock the phone. Now Power Off and Power On the phone, you shouldn't have any pin or pattern code to unlock anymore.
This worked for me.
