My Samsung Galaxy J7 have fingerprint lock and pin code lock. I forgot the pin code and now after my mobile is restarted it says
" Your phone was restarted and needs to be unlocked using your pin. You can use your fingerprints next time you unlock your phone".
What is the solution with out data loss. I have access to my gmail account.
I don't know why this issue started now days. .. but if u can access the Samsung account u can unlock it there . I did the same the other day . U didn't forget the pin but the phone forgot the pin. I don't know how it possible.. but I didn't change my pin for over a year and suddenly it says try later. Even now after I unlocked it thru Samsung findmydevice I can't setup pin or password.. it says setup crashed .. but I got my phone back

Hi I'm having a problem with Galaxy 5 i5500 i have entered a pattern [the one wich you use to see the home screen] and i forgot it. now i entered the pattern wrong too many times and my phone is locked and asks me to enter a google account. i havent set up a google account in my samsung so i can't access it. can anyone help me if they could tell me how to reset it or factory reset it? i have tried the secret codes and they don't work.
Why is it that 90% of the time, the first thing people do when they get a phone or tablet is put in a password (same with laptops and desktops). While I'm at it, why in the blue hell do people always hide the password on the unlock screen when making vids on youtube? YEAH
ANYWAY, google is your friend bro. You should be able to boot the phone in recovery mode (someone please correct me if I'm wrong on that because I'm not 100% on it) and do a factory reset. I'm not going to take the time to google it or search XDA on how to do it for you though. I learned how to walk because my parents refused to carry me around for the rest of my life....just sayin
I have a Galaxy s4. My 4 year old was playing with it yesterday and it is now locked. I had a swipe protection on it and he did it so many times that it went to 'enter a pin code". I have NO idea what the pin code is! So I spoke with Verizon and Samsung and they gave me different generic codes to use and none of which worked. So they told me to use google device manager. I was able to locate the phone. It rang when I hit ring. So they told me to lock it. I typed in a new password and confirmed it. My screen lit up with a lock screen. I entered the password and it said "entered unsuccessfully". I tried using a password with a cap...then we tried with just numbers...then we tried with just letters and no caps... nothing worked. and now the pin code screen is not coming up. Just the locked by device manager is.
We took the SIM card out and it still rang and we tried a new password and that didn't work.
I have no idea what I am missing. I don't want to have to reset because I will loose over half of my contacts and word docs and pics. (I don't use backup and I don't have an SD card)
Thank you for any help anyone can offer!!!!!!
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. It sounds to me like you need a PUK code? Your carrier wasn't able to provide you with one?
No response in two days, thread closed.
I have a samsung mobile ( galaxy grand 2) with android version 4.2.2. and I have a problem:
when i want to connect via internet at work i should enter IP server address so I should use pattern or pin to safe my connection but unfortunately in this kind of samsung i cant use pattern and just i can use pin. this is so hard for me because i should enter pin every morning and clean it every noon. I should clean it because of my little daughter. she is so tiny and cant use pin. of course my previous samsung mobile didnt has this problem. please let me know how i can use pattern to solve this problem.
yours sincerely

My mobile's LCD was broken and after 4 months I've got it repaired but I've forgotten my pin code. I know the email and account is mine which is linked with it but not showing any recovery option on lock screen, even after entering wrong password for 10 to 15 times. Is there any way that I can use my phone without losing data?
Hellow, I am the owner of a Samsung Galaxy S6 I think its Europe version because I bought it in spain.
In march 2020 I had decided to factory resset my phone because I had a lot of junk. To my surprise when the Welcome screen for a setup showed up and I was trying to set it up (I did this probably once a year) a message of "The phone was factory resseted on a anormal way please sign in to your samsung account to unlock the device". Keep in mind here in spain we were in a complete lock down. I did put my email and password it showed 2 messages and noething happned, and I know its not the wrong password because if i did type a random thing it will show "Wrong ID" so I tried contacting samsung but as we were on a lockdown it was imposible, I tried from find my phone (samsung version) and I clickcked on unlock phone (while the phone was connected to the inernet) but noething happned as a last resource I tried flashing a custom rom (I had Samsung Official Rom) but when I go to oddin mode or download mode it shows: Reactivation Lock: ON.
Is there any way to unlock it, my mothers phone is broken and she is in need of one.
I have attached some imagenes.
I hope I can find a fix, because the most anoing thins is that is supposed to be a mecanisim so if the phone gets stolen, but i have been the owner of it for 5 years
for starters, try the methods explained here

i think that there are a couple more options if those are without success, but i'd have to research that a bit more at that point
