Galaxy S5 :: How To Unlock Device When 5 Finger Swipes Exhausted And Can't Remember Back Up PIN
Jun 13, 2015
Can't remember back up PIN. Battery removal didn't resolve. Went to android device manager and changed the password, but the old back up PIN question pops up and I can't get into my phone.
Has noticed there finger print unlock slowing down? I swear it is 2x to 3x longer than when new, restart phone regularly so I am not sure why. Just curious if it's just me.
so I've had my Galaxy S6 and the fingerprint sensor has always worked fine. Yesterday it worked great all day long at work, then when I got home, it wouldn't work at all. I rebooted and still it wouldn't work, I cleared cache and data, did the hardware test, and it passed. It still didn't work, so I erased the fingerprints, and retrained my right thumbprint only. Now it seems to unlock with any finger of anybody! As long as they touch lightly, it unlocks about 90 percent of the time.
My fingerprint is not being recognized by my Samsung Galaxy S6, my back up password is not working even though I'm pretty sure it's correct but maybe i have forgotten it I don't know BUT the other problem is I can't access Samsung device manager online because my Gmail account I have created on my phone requires the 2 step-verification thing where a code is sent to my phone first for me to type into my computer but since I can't access my phone I can't view the code!
I do have a password but want to know how many tries I get with the fringerprint swipe before the galaxy s5 will not allow me another fringerprint swipe ?
I keep sliding my finger across the unlock bar but it doesn't work. Whereas the double-click music player works fine. Has my phone locked itself? It was fine an hour ago.
For some reason, the screen on my at&t gs6 doesn't seem as responsive as it should be. It often misses swipes I make while playing games or in the ui it also seems to take a bit longer than normal to register taps while typing.
I searched settings and developer options and I see no way to increase screen sensitivity.
Also happens a lot when pulling the drop down menu.
I was "playing" with my phone and first tried the fingerprint, which i had trouble getting in after that. Then i tried the 4 digit code. I went back in to change it back to swipe but it is no longer an option. It says it is turned off by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage. Not sure what I did, but I need getting swipe back. Should have been working instead of playing anyhow...
My galaxy s5 is locked , it is showing now alternative password option only, no finger print option...., i am not remembering alternative password because i am using only finger print.. how can 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'm trying to root Galaxy S6 G9200 HongKong Dual Sim edition with CF-Auto Root but it failed and showed:
Installation Failure You need to unlock your device to install a custom OS. For information about how to unlock, please refer to your device information at [URL].... Please press the power key to restart.
I have Nexus 5 with Marshmallow 6.0, I forgot the screen pattern and now i can not access it even with my gmail account. I dont want to loose any of my data.
I can't remember my device Password. I am on the 5th attempt and the message is stating that if I try the last attempt and miss it, it will delete all my data on my device.
I accidentally select "forget this device" on one of my recent connected bluetooth device. Now I can not pair with that device anymore. How do I remember that device again? note that I am using an iPhone 3Gs and its software version is 4.1 (8B117).
I have a Sprint S5 running stock Lollipop. I have moved any apps that can be to the SD card. Anytime those apps are updated, they move back to the device storage. I got this phone shortly before Sprint pushed the Lollipop update so I cannot say for sure if I was having this issue prior to Lollipop.
I need to restore a iPhone that we are no longer using. The trouble is we cannot remember the password for this old device and Find My Phone is turned ON the device. In order to restore the device, Find My Phone has to be OFF but in order to turn it off, you have to know the password. Vicious cycle!
New T-Mobile Galaxy S6. Is there a way to set the screen-time for the fingerprint log-in feature to display longer. Sometimes my login screen stays up long enough to press my thumb print, but many times it appears and disappears before I can log in. Is there a setting to increase the time it stays visual?
In the Screen Lock Type setting I have Fingerprints. At times when I wake the device it looks for me to use my saved fingerprint, but most times it still expects me to use swipe style to unlock.
