Dear guys. I setup a fingerprint (F1) and a backup code. After, I have set up another fingerprint (F2) while the other one was active. I have deleted F1, but the unlocking screen requires it. To deactivate this unlocking way, I have to insert the deleted F1.
What can I do?

For some reason it is now saying my finger print is not recognised and won't accept it so when I try to change it using my back up password it also says that is incorrect. I have not changed it or anything. Is there a way of fixing this I am hoping I don't have to do a complete restore on my phone.

There is a guide on the forum for bypassing the fingerprint scanner without wiping the phone. I havent accessed the thread nor using the guide as I never needed it though.

I can unlock my phone as I managed to change it to using a pattern lock. But I want to change it back to o fingerprint but it won't allow me.

Maybe a defective fingerprint scanner?
i have the same pproblem, worked all fine, then i wanted to chance my fingerprints, did the first 10 swipes, then it said, there is a problem, couldnt do the 2. 10 swipes.. after that i deleted data and all, now it says i have a fingerprint on it, but it wont detect it, nor will the password work, i didnt factory restore yet, since im waiting for 5.1.1. to do so, hope it fixes it, but id love to know what the problem is.. cheers
I have the same problem with the backup password, I wiped everything no cure without root .

So you did a restore and it didn't fix it?
Wip data via recovery, and don't use finger print in 5.1.1. I restored my data via Samsung smart switch.

Hi all,
I have encrypted my device and using PATTERN as the security. I do restart device once in a week and it asks encryption pattern to start Android. Today when i restarted, it asked me PASSWORD instead of PATTERN. I tried Google password here but it does not work. I dont understand y its asking for PASSWORD when i have selected PATTERN.
I cannot start my device now. I cannot afford to factory reset as the data is imp to me
Please help/advice/guide.

Guys, Do not encrypt your phone. Motorola dont have any resolution for this problem.
Infact their Engineer told there is no such option which enables pattern/password at the boot up (Can u believe it?). They have such ppl on their support.
My only options are:
1. Delete all data
2. Install custom recovery to access encrypted data. But i believe that will void my warranty.
If anybody has any other solution, please advise.
Solved it
Guys i have solved the issue
Saved my data too. no need for custom recovery.

Hi,
yesterday evening my redmi 3s (http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_487801.html) crashed while I used facebook App.
it restarted
i gave in sim-Pin
but normally i use fingerprnt to unlock the phone - this does not work any longer - I tried to unlock the phone with my formerly used pattern but it does not work. perhaps i don't remember. perhaps it is erased, too?
now i can try a pattern each 120 Minutes - then phone is locked if pattern is wrong.
Do you have any ideas how to fix this? this is really important because i do not want to make new rom to the phone.
thank you in andvance

Always you Turn ON or reboot the phone, you must (Yes or Yes) get Unlocked with the Pattern or Pin, the Fingerprint do not work until the phone is unlocked at leat one time.
If you do not remember the Pattern or Pin, you sould to do a factory reset from recovery or flash MIUI rom via fastboot.

Trying to help out a family member. She setup a pattern on her phone and forgot it....
Google search returns "dr.fone" but when installed it only shows options till GS3 IIRC
Samsung find my mobile doesn't help as location is off
She has no backup and doesn't sync with Google Photos.
Any idea how to remove the pattern and retain the data?
if you set pattern only to unlock the phone then there is no chance you forget pattern i am using finger,pattern & iris to unlock my S8+ there is no way to unlock your phone without correct pattern factory reset is only option to unlock if FRP ia not On

i've read that there is a way to sideload other firmware, like in videos such as below (xda wont let me post video because i'm new), but search for "ALL SAMSUNG WITHOUT DATA LOST Remove Pin,Pattern,Password In FRP ON,OEM Mode Part 2 to Part 18"
anyone know how to do this for s8+ ?
I set a pattern and don't remember it, battery died so I couldn't use my fingerprint. phone is NOT attached to samsung account, so I am really in a bind here because I need to access it withOUT wiping
Please help
Hi,
I tried to change the pattern of my device, it seems that I didn't set what I thought and now that I restarted my system, the device (Android 7) is asking my for a pattern to let me turn it on, that I don't know.
Of course I'm the owner from this device, with my Google account and everything but I made a misstake and I don't know how to fix it.
What are my options now?, Should I restart the device with recovery options, wiping data user and that or what do I need to do?
Regards in advance.
Do you by any chance have TWRP installed? If so, there are certain files you can delete to remove the pattern.
Try it enough times and it should offer to unlock another way, then use your Google account.
And don't use pattern unlock... PIN an fingerprint are fine.
