I had fingerprint ulock on phone and every few days phone asked me to enter password. Few days ago I changed that password and yesterday i entered that new password i set but phone says it is wrong. I've tried so many attempts without success. Is there any way to access data (pictures, contacts ...) without factory reset?

So I popped in another SIM to my phone temporarily, and in the process when I got my own back in, everything was fine EXCEPT
all my google accounts would not sign in, and would not accept their passwords. Strangely, 2/3 of them would not accept their password even on the pc in the browser. I briefly considered that I had been compromised but the timing is way too suspect with this never having happened before (the problem AND switching SIMs)
I reset those 2, and got them working on both the phone and pc browser again, on the phone only by deleting the accounts and re-adding them.
However, the remaining account (which I could always login on pc browser) will still not accept the password on the phone.
Because it is the main google account, it cannot be deleted on the phone except through a factory data reset.
I REALLY don't want to have to go through all that hassle of reconfiguring a million things just because something bugged out during switching SIMs.
How can I fix this without wasting my evening reseting settings and redownloading apps?
is data enabled on the phone? cuz if not it will give such errors. settings>wireless. data

mobile data has always been disabled on this phone; since day 1.
why would it being disabled suddenly cause a problem now?
I don't pay for any data, so what exactly are you proposing I do?
fixed it.
was related to 2 step verification crap. turned it all off and worked again.
So I sold my phone (Galaxy S6) on Swappa, first time ever. The buyer received the phone went to set it up and the an error reading "This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device." He recommended doing a video call where I would give him the password so he could get in and remove my account. And I would be able to watch him so I know he isn't stealing my information. I changed my password before giving him it because it is similar to other passwords I use for other logins. When we went to do the call it keeps looping back to that same screen with an error message. I know it recognizing my email because I see my picture pop up when it asked for a password. In my research I just came across articles like this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/07/13/dont-change-your-google-password-before-factory-resetting-your-android-phone-you-might-trip-a-72-hour-security-lockout/
I just want to know if I am permantly locked out because I changed my password after I reset, or if we can try again in 72 hours? I can't find anything more clear about changing the password after the factory reset, everything talks about before.

sorry, i cant help with your question, but in the future, remove your account from the phone before factory reset and you wont have this problem.
any phone running lollipop and forward will have this new security on it, and if your phone never had software older than lollipop on it, there is no way to bypass the security check.
Sorry to make a new post but the old one was locked. I've recently had a problem with Google's Factory Reset Protection on a relative's phone but luckily managed to retrieve their Google account. I understand there is a lock out of 24 hours (down from 72 - correct?) after resetting the password after a factory reset. I just wanted to check up that the Google login screen after a fresh install and password reset behaves like the usual can't log in screen, when the new password is pending?

Greetings again,
This is not a help desk where you come to ask all your questions. 72 hours is the norm for factory reset protocol.
Any further questions can be directed here:

I updated the firmware today and have now got a black screen asking for an encrypted password, I dont recall setting this up and have tried any password I may have used. I contacted Samsung but not helpful so far. I tried find my phone, but it cant connect. would a factory reset be my only option?
Keep trying man. There's no way it automatically encrypted itself. There's a setting that allows you to set a password or pattern before allowing the phone to turn on
HELLO
My little sister played with my mobile and entered a pattern to the lock screen (S8+) and no longer can I access mobile again after reboot
I have google account email but I'm not sure that is logged on mobile
Is there a way to bypass without wipe data and factory reset ??
WORK OF 10 YEARS WILL BE ERASE BY THIS DATA RESET !!!!:crying:
HOPE I WILL SEE SOLUTIONS TO MY PROBLEM
REGARDS
just enter an invalid passwor a few times, and it will take you to the forgot password page.
You can then enter your google account email, and proceed to unlock it with your google account password, or create a new pattern. ( You have to have a google account created when setting up the phone, but don't need it logged in on mobile).
If you perform a factory reset, you will still need your google account email and password, as those are saved to a protected partition on the phone, and you cannot erase that. This is to prevent people from stealing phones.
