Backup password lost. Any way to recover ? - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All !
I've used Edge S6 with a great success for 1 month. No issues using fingerprint unlock, etc..
Today i had a problem using the fingerprint to unlock the phone. I've manageŠ² to unlock the screen, but when i try to get to the fingerprint part of Security menu in Settings it asks me for the backup password which i do not recall. Tried all the passwords i could imagine and none worked. Browsed through the Internet and the only method found was to make a hard reset.... DO not want to do this.
Is there any way to reset the backup password ? Or restore it ?
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,

Really needed help ! Cannot use the fingerprint scanner...

[Q] Resetting/Changing Lockscreen Password

OK. I installed an update to my ROM and restored apps + data to my phone and now the lock screen is stopping me from unlocking the phone. so i installed a bypass app to at least unlock my phone.
I need to either remove/reset the password so i can change it or have something to change the password.
Any help much appreciated!

Don't Matter Fixed it!
For those that have the problem get Screen Lock Bypass and clear settings/setting storage data on titanium or related. then restart and your password is reset/removed!
You'll have to redo your settings though which dosent really matter.

Bypass PIN required on boot...

How do you bypass PIN on boot? I have tried finding the hack but do not know where to look?! I want to start making my own rooms and that is a feature I want to add. Any help will be credited! Thank You.

Let me get it straight.You want to unlock your phone and forgot the pin?If yes then try deleting the locksetting.db(Look online for location, ,in data partition)and delete it.

No. What I am looking for is the code edit to allow fingerprint unlock on boot. Every time you restart your phone or if the security times out, you can't use fingerprint to unlock. You have to use the PIN method. There are roms that have added a tweak that allows fingerprint unlocking at boot. I'm trying to find out how to do it?!

Forgot find my device password.

Hi I lost my phone few days ago but I was able to find it however before finding my device I locked it using find my device password. Now the problem is I cant remember the password I set for it. And there is no option to either change or remove password. I cant hard reset my phone either because it asks for the screen lock password and I dont remember that either. So what should I do? Am I locked out for good should I buy new phone? What should I do? Thanks

RE:Help for lockpattern on huawei honor9

Hello,
I have Huawei Honor 9 STF-AL10(al09) (chinese version 6gb/128gb) which can not unlock. Before some days i gave the phone to my child for playing, then he put lock pattern and he forget it next day.I was using my phone with my fingerprint ,whitout know the lockpattern,and some days later, it says fingerprint suspend - pattern required. And i am trying everything and cannot unlock it. I know the email which is connect the phone, i try when open it in google devices, but is not allowed USB debug and not allowed Find my phone and cannot unlock. Is there have any way to unlock and keep information in. I have a lot of doc, notes and some apps.
I need to save everything as it is inside.
I can wipe and recover, but i need to save everything.
Is there any software do this(doesn't matter if its paying).
Until somedays i have option every 1 hours to try 3 times, but from now is every 24 hours only 1 time.
Or, if there have any way to unlock again with my fingerprint and after that i will allow usb debug and remove lockpattern?
Please help.
Thanks!
Regards,
Georgi
Have you tried third party programs like dr.fone?
This article has some positive reviews, check it out as well.
You can't unlock bootloader on huawei devices so you can't recover data from it :/
If you're desperate you can follow this article here to unlock bootloader on your device, it's quite expensive though.
Also unlocking the bootloader wipes all data and that's obviously not what you want.
Should all of the above mentioned fail then I really think wiping it is the only option.
Should you succeed then do post what worked for you here so anyone viewing the thread in the future knows what to do.
I can do wipe data/cache from boot menu and i can reset it, i know the email and everything, but i need to save everything as it is inside.
I was thinking, if there have any way to bring again to unlock with the finger print and i will fix it.
It is not a problem, i will pay for Dr Fone, but i was write to them to ask, is the software can help me, without losing anything inside, but they not responding me.
I am trying any combination with lock pattern, but the problem is that now is only 1 try in 24hours and killing me.
Yes, If i find solution i will post it, to save a lot of searching for somebody else.

If you know the email then why not reset the pin?
You can't get the fingerprint to work if it says fingerprint suspended, it's a security feature in Huawei phones and you have to enter your pin.
Try sending it to an authorized service center, they may be able to help you.

How to reset the pin? I have no PIN, i have lockpattern and fingerprint. Yes, it says fingerprint suspended.
I was try with Find my Phone, but i am not activate the location and the option find my phone and cannot connected when i open it from browser, i see my phone, i see the imei, but i cannot do anything more.
I was talk with the authorized center in my country Bulgaria, but they say, that they can only wipe data and restored, but I dont want this, i was ask them for the contact to the central service center, but they not gave me any information.

What I mant by PIN is the device password, or lockpattern.
Did you try forgot my password?
If you have a Huawei ID and you're signed in on your device then follow this guide here.
If all of that failed as well then I'm sorry to inform you that your data is no longer recoverable.
Make sure to do regular backups to avoid this mistake again. I personally use this app.
Also turning on parental control mode when giving your device to your child is another way to avoid this happening again, I personally wouldn't blame my child for this.

I commend your determination annon, but please don't waste your time.
There is no way to recover the data. You don't have debugging mode on, no root, no unlocked bootloader or custom recovery, you don't have a Huawei ID, and google account/google find my device doesn't work.
I don't mean to interfere in your family issues, but as I said I wouldn't blame my child for it. Judging from the way you spoke they're still young.
Instead I'll turn on parental control mode before giving my device.
I will try to find a way with fastboot, if there have some way to do it, i can see the device in ADB terminal , it recognize it at fastboot device, when start the phone in fastboot recovery menu.
Yes, he is 8 year old, i'm not blame him, they are child - it is normal for them.
