[Q] how to reset alternate password for fingerprint lock - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am able to unlock the phone via fingerprint, but I can't reset the the alternate password.
How may I erase the alternate password without a factory reset? I am able to access the phone via fingerprint and via google password just fine.

Settings > Finger scanner > Fingerprint Manager
Select and delete all fingerprints. Doing this will also remove the alternate password, allowing you to set it to something else. You'll have to re-register your fingerprints again, of course.

first make a nandroid backup. now wipe data and cache in recovery mode. if you dont know then search here. if you know then after wiping data and cache use nandroid manager to restore your apps,sms,call logs,wifi and bluetooth settings. i dont exactly remember on how to fix it. you were supposed to replace a file in /data which holds the lock pattern info using adb

Iv posted this a few times but here it is again
flash the attachment in cwm with everything mounted
aroma file manager starts
goto data/system
delete gesture.key
delete password.key
reestart
thanks guys, i will try those. btw, the phone is asking for gmail account to unlock, and it always say incorrect username/password, but i put it all correct (i tried in my other device). i think it's another file to delete other than password and gesture key.
anyways, i will still try your suggestions
i deleted the gesture.key but still the phone asks for gmail account before unlock..

try this buddy,
1. reload ur sim card
2. press power button [hold for a seconds until u see a prompt screen showing Power off, data enable..etc
3. if the screen prompt after pressing the power button choose "DATA ENABLE' then at status bar u will see H, 3G, E signal.
4. enter ur gmail and password
no nid for reflash

thanks man.
i also tried it, but still nothing happens.
i believe i correctly entered my account and password.
maybe there's another file to delete in /data.

you don't need internet to use your gmail account to unlock, it uses your last set password stored offline
or delete gesture.key from /data/system with adb

yes i deleted it already. i entered my google account correctly (i believe), but still no success. sometimes it says, after entering username and password, that i should wait for 30 secs coz i entered the pattern incorrectly. and after 30secs, nothing.

did you change your password recently? cause if so, you should try your previous password

nope. i think i have to do the last resort. nandroid backup and nandroid manager.
Wiping data solves this problem.

pls help
Why don't you try to reset the pattern? Fail a bunch of times and try to reset via Google Account. Or go to the Android Manager online on your pc and change the code.
Just make sure your phone is connected to the internet!

You must have a Google account on your phone otherwise you wouldn't be able to have FRP on
I can't make Internet connection to activate my Google account on the phone...
Try calling yourself and pulling the notification bar down.
Try using a flashable ZIP with stock recovery! I don't know if they use zip sign or not

You can go to stock recovery and wipe your user data. Otherwise you're out of luck as I guess your data is encrypted.
