Hi everyone.. My friend has a galaxy s6 and accidently his phone is been locked by entering wrong password more than 10 times without using fingerprint scanner.. Now it ain't showing even the fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone.. So is there any ways to unlock the phone without even losing the data ? I know the hard reset but he doesn't wanna loose all the data and numbers..

No I think you need to add in more of your prints to the phone , but could also just be your phone. Try going into settings>lock screen and security>fingerprints and adding more in different positions. So don't just keep giving the scanner the same finger in the same position, change it up so that one scan will have the same finger in different ways
Hmm. That doesn't explain the pin part. Lol. It tells me incorrect pin when in fact it is. Might master reset it's wife phone. Personally, I think Nexus 6p fingerprint is so much better.

She could be not wanting you in the phone lol but a hard reset would help I'm sure
That's funny since my wife's phone did the same thing last week. Reboot fixed it. I have also setup her phone to automatically reboot once a week to possibly prevent this from happening again.
sounds like a fingerprint issue. I'd go in delete all the finger prints, then factory reset the device. If you factory reset the device before you delete the fingerprints you might just mess it up further.
Hey I have an issue I need help with ! I just Bought a Tmobile Galaxy S7 EDGE with Android 7.0
My lock screen camera if I use it the pics or videos I took while the phone was locked can be deleted without unlocking the phone! How can I make it so it can't be deleted without unlocking the phone?
You can't. And I'm pretty sure that you can only delete the pics that you took during the session, you can't actually access the rest of your library without unlocking. Also, not sure why this is such a serious issue for you.
Hello everyone.
Well, as stated in the title I really had a week of ****. It started with the theft of my Samsung S7 edge.I am really disgusted
As I really like this phone and the price is interesting now and having a TWRP backup on a USB key I've bought another S7 edge thinking that I could easily reinstall my backup TWRP of my missing phone with all my very valuable data and programs. Unfortunately for now it's total failure. I could actually reinstall my backup but impossible to enter into the phone. I had put after the boot the security by fingerprint plus pin code for the phone and neither function. I am absolutely sure of my pin code, I always use the same but the phone answers me incorrect pin and my fingerprints are not recognized. :crying::crying::crying: I mean that the phone for the first reboot does not accept the fingerprint asks me the code and does not accept it. I tried to flash fingerprint wakeup to be able to use the fingerprint after the first boot but it is even worse the phone say that the fingerprint does not work and that I have to try again later. I specify that I tried the fingerprint with the phone I bought used before installing my backup and that it works properly. In your opinion, is there a way out of this inextricable situation? Is it possible to bypass the fingerprint? Or another solution to recover my data and my programs? Thank you to those who will take the time to read me and to those who will answer me if there are any :fingers-crossed:
Hello dear people from the all knowing android community,
Today I fixed my old phone (galaxy s6 edge plus) by exchanging the battery myself (ty youtube). I wanted to do so to get back some old pictures from a brighter time & to maybe check if I still have logged in on some accounts there. I am pretty sure my fingerprint is still in the system but since its rebooted I have to use the pincode again.. Its been 3 years and I tried every combo I could think of but no success.. Anyone knows if its possible to bypass the pincode?
I'm eager to hear from you all
Regards, Ezra

If you want to give it to your kid, you do not need to keep your data and can do a factory reset. As long as your Google account is connected to the phone, you will have to enter your Google account password to verify that it's your device. Have you already tried to boot into recovery mode and wipe data from there?
