Okay so my dad wants to get into the security option in his phone to add a fingerprint, however to do so required the backup password.
Knowing my dad, he had forgotten the password and cannot get in here, the only suggestion we have found is reset your phone which obviously is a bit last resort.
I have found some suggestions I. e. sign in your Google account however that did not work nor did a suggestion which was to go in private mode and from there it will prompt the fingerprint and make that default.
Galaxy S6 Edge - get "unable to recognise your fingerprint" message - gives "Emergency Call" only option (why not "Backup Password" option) - trying to tap on Backup Password doesn't work on the "Power On" screen doesn't work and the "unable to recognise fingerprint" message pops up after about 5 seconds. I've tried tapping on the "Backup Password" option about every time - no luck. How can I access my device???
I'm having trouble figuring out how to reset my backup password on my S6. I can still unlock my phone just fine using my 2 registered fingerprints. But in the event I have both fingers chopped off for whatever reason, I'll be out of luck.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S6, and for my unlock screen I use a pin. However, for some applications, I use a fingerprint unlock as well as a pin.
Recently, the scanner was unable to read my fingerprint so my phone disabled the fingerprint unlock option and came up with the notification "Enter backup password to verify fingerprint." I thought I remembered the right password, but apparently not, so I am unable to change or update my fingerprint at all.
From what I've read, a lot of people have problems on the lock screen, but my lock screen is fine since I use a pin, I just can't remember my backup password for my fingerprint. I've already tried Samsung's Find My Mobile, and I would really like to avoid doing a factory reset.
how I either reset my backup password or somehow change my fingerprint?
I got a new phone and set fingerprint password. It didn't really work so I got rid of it and just used a PIN. Now that I got my scanner fixed I want to use it again but it needs the backup password which I don't have. I tried scanning my finger and it didn't work. It will not let me scan again and is asking for the backup password for it to be able to open. I am not locked out of my phone rather I just need the backup password to change some settings. I would like to know if there is a way to reset the backup password without resetting my phone and keep in mind I am not locked out and still have full access just not the backup password?
had an N97 before my N8I gave it to my wife 1yr ago phone still working great but forgot the security passwordwant to know how to remove/reset the password because i want to give the phone to my son and buy the N9 for my wife
I would like to know how to reset the password that appears on my computer screen when I try to synchronize, run back ups etc. The password that I recorded when I installed the software does not work. The blackberry keyboard password doesn't work either. I set up a Blackberry ID and that doesn't assist at all. I cant find an explanation of all the different passwords.

I have a new s6 edge and I never quite liked the fingerprint to unlock option but I find it quite useful and responsive on this device so I do use it.
Question is is there a way to have fingerprint n pattern unlock working simultaneously? I want the fingerprint for myself and for a few friends who use my cell they could use the pattern cos the backup password is to annoying to type otherwise
I followed the directions to adjust my Android Galaxy S6 Edge but when I went to "Display " to find the "Sensitivity Setting" there was none. Idk if it's been uninstalled or deleted. Either way, can I get it back if so?
How do I go about changing the snooze on my alarm on the s6 edge? I used to be able to change it to different intervals on my S5 but I can't seem to figure it out on my new S6 edge..
my S6 Edge's phone app's Favorites, it does NOT have an order alphabetically option! For example, say i have 30 Favorites, and it self populated due to that Samsung app called.SmartSwitch or something like that, it transferred via bluetooth from my S5 to my S6 Edge most of the
settings, wallpaper, etc.Well, believe it or not, those 30 favorite contacts are NOT in alphabetical order! There is only an edit function called Re-Order, where YOU must re-order it yourself! So, it's a little like a puzzle, where you'd have to move almost all of your 30 favorite contacts in order to put them in alphabetical order!! that can't be true, right? (i.e. lacking a "put in alphabetical order" option).
I have been using the fingerprint scan security for a week or so and I decided it's just too laggy to keep using. Now I can not figure out how to go back to just swiping up top unlock the screen. The section labeled "swipe" in the settings is grayed out.
I had some issues with my snapchat notifications not showing up on my task bar and didn't know if/when i had new snaps. So i did some research and tried everything besides a factory reset. Unfortunately nothing worked so i had to resort to doing the factory reset. After that my notifications worked like normal. The only issue I"m having is when i add my facebook in the accounts and click sync nothing shows in my contact list.
I have quite a few people on my personal contact and fb contact that i enjoy merging their respective information with both profiles for said people. How to resync them while the phone says it's already synced. I've also tried the "show only facebook contacts" and it says i have no contacts to display.
Is there a way to Backup Themes that were downloaded from the Theme Store ? Is it possible so these themes can be later restored to a fresh S6 without re-downloading them from the Theme Store ?
I have been using Power Amp for years but I can never seem to get the Backup and restore correctly when it come to backing my playlist.Because of data cap and T-Mobile coverage, I don't stream my music.
I have the s galaxy s6 edge and I am trying to activate the video calling. Every time I try to use it it says network error has occurred. then when I tried to follow directions I found on youtube : activating the video calling option under "advance call" options I have found I don't have "advanced call" options on my phone?why would the option not be there? how do I get my advance call options?
