My galaxy s5 phone is locked with a fingerprint swipe but has for some reason i can now only unlock with an alternative password which i have not set up to my knowledge. How do i unlock my phone?
I can't seem unlock my device using fingerprint or backup password. The fingerprint animation isn't playing and doesn't recognise that I am swiping the home button.I have tried entering the backup password and it says I have entered it incorrectly when I am for certain entered it correctly.Changing keyboards doesn't fix this. Restarting the phone and removing the battery and SD card does not fix this.
I have previously registered for the Google Device Manager and have tried locking my phone, but that doesn't seem to work. Do I need to have an Internet connection or GPS on my phone to do that? If so, I can't connect to the internet or activate GPS due to it being locked. Is there any way around this?
I really don't want to factory reset my phone unless it's the only last option I have.And I have contacted Samsung support regarding this and am waiting for a reply. I will update if they have replied to my message.
I forgot my passcode and now it is saying IPhone is disabled connect to itunes and I tried to connect with itunes but nothing happened and I think I will have the option to unlock it by restore but I don't want my things to go is there any way that I can unlock it without restore.

i just purchased a galaxy s5 a couple months ago and i have chosen the fingerprint security option as my main entry to my phone. however the option to use the scanner is not available for some reason right now on my phone. it is asking me to use my alternative password which i do not remember because i have been using the finger print scanner for so long. I am worried that i will have to wipe my device to get into it, i have many important photos/information on my phone, is there an alternative way to unlock my phone?
My phone wants an alternative password, which I don't remember because I was using a fingerprint to unlock. I can't do a thing on the phone even if I reset it using press of volume, central button and on button.
I have GALAXY S5 AND I am trying to unlock my phone but I cannot because the fingerprint scanner does not appear at all and it asks only for alternative password that I cannot remember,,what should I do to make the phone ask for finger print.
I have forgotten my password and to make matters worse, the phone wont accept my supposedly registered fingerprint.
I would like to avoid a reset...... I think I might be able to submit the correct password if I knew the requirements of the password, i.e. #letters, #numbers, caps, special char etc etc.
I have a Samsung S6 and my fingerprint is not recognized, I forgot my password and now I'm locked out of my Samsung s6. What's my passcode recovery options?
Already tried remote access online but that doesn't work because my phone isn't connected to wifi or MD tried putting wrong password in for a reset option that hasn't happened and i cant for the life of me remember my backup password.
I was using samsung browser and I scanned fingerprint to autofill username and password for a website. and I failed the fingerprint scan too many times. And it wants me to enter my backup password. I don't remember what it is. The phone is not locked. I use different security - pin, pattern, etc. But I cannot access fingerprint section. Is there any way to get passed that or reset the backup password?
I set a screen lock code today and used it several time with no problems. Tonight the unlock screen shows 'Enter Password to Unlock' but when I enter the pin code, it will not unlock.
