[Q] Encryption still requires password? No chances to use PIN? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I PIN locked my screen. I want to enable encryption and phone asks to change PIN to password.
Still no possible to use PIN? I've seen discussions few years ago about this. No changes?
Entering password all the time to unlock screen.. doesn't sound very convenient.

Unlock Screen Freeze

Anyone facing issue of getting freezed when entering pin unlock screen? I use my corporate exchange mail in my phone. It applies policy to enable pin lock. Sometimes, when I try entering the pin to unlock, the screen is freezed. I've to wait for a minute and then it accepts my pin to unlock. This happens sometimes only.

Can't change screen lock type

Having trouble finding anything about this on Google. I have a Verizon Edge+.
When I first got the phone, I set the screen lock type to fingerprint. Today, I set it for password. The password is all lower case, is 4 words, and has spaces in it. Now, when I try to change the screen unlock type, it says "try again". I have tried several times and am sure I'm entering the password correctly. Funny thing is, the password unlocks the phone successfully.

Lock screen tells me my pin is incorrect (its not)

I dont see this specific question...
I have my lock screen set as a pin
On a daily basis, it says my pin in incorrect and does not let me get into my phone.
It is the correct pin and I make several attempts to do so, to the point where I am locked out for a certain period of time.
If I restart my phone, the same exact pin works.
Is there a reason this is happening or a way of preventing this from happening?
Wild shot... but have you tried with the phone on a flat surface just in case you are touching the edges as you enter it?
Also, why not use the fingerprint lock? So much easier and just as secure as numbers.

PIN Unlock screen

At reboot it ask for PIN which i don't remember
I tried some I used before but nothing, and after 3 times I have to wait hours
Is there a way to bypass that pin WITHOUT lose my personal data?
