Hi guys.
I have really weird situation. So when I was setting up my Galaxy Note 4 I chose Fingerprint Scan to be my main authentication method. It prompted me to chose backup password in case Fingerprint scan cannot be read. Unfortunately I did NOT write down somewhere my backup password because I thought that the only case that will ever require me to use it would be losing my thumb finger. Since I was not planning to lose my thumb finger anytime soon I did not think about making sure to write down the backup password I chose....
Now where my problem comes. I have not used this phone for like 2-3 weeks because I use different phone as my primary one. Well guess what happened? After I booted my phone today it does NOT show the usual "Scan your Fingerprint" Screen and instead going directly to "Enter your backup password"
What could have happened?? Did the phone somehow think that somebody scanned wrong finger too many times and now the only way to unlock it is to enter the password? I guess it would be easy to just wipe the phone and start over but there are many pictures that I took on phone's internal memory and did not have a chance to transfer over to my computer... Anyone could PLEASE chime in and tell me how can I make it ask for Fingerprint instead of password?? I would really appreciate to hear what you guys think
Short version:
1. Had Fingerprint as main authentication method
2. Did not write down backup password anywhere
3. After not using the phone for couple weeks now its skipping Fingerprint screen and directly goes to asking for password
4. Any ideas?
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..

Hi!
I posted anonymously a couple of hours ago, but I cant find the thread so I will try to post again:
On my samsung galaxy note 4, the fingerprint scanner stopped working.
I can still log in with the backup password luckily. This means I can unlock the phone just fine.
I tried using the same password to reset the fingerprint scanner or disabling it, but at this stage I get a "wrong password error" even tho its the same password.
I have tried multiple times now.
The password is 16 characters long, and its a nightmare to have to input this backup password every time. Any suggestions?
this is happening to me also
tell me one thing when your fingerprint reader get small scratches from everyday use,does it give mismatch errors or are these scanners build to accept some inaccuracies
when i registered my fingerprint my phone was shiny new.
few weeks later i developed small scratches on scanner button,and now my fingerprint isnt getting recognized. that or i have forgotton the exact direction i used to register my fingerprints
Samsung really needs to go back and fix it's Samsung Pay app, here is the serious problem I am having re my Galaxy S7 Edge (not sure if other Galaxy phone's are affected).
Last night on my S7 I decided to remove my fingerprint security from my phone and re do it again, as in to add new fingerprint, that all wen't well etc. Than I went to add my second backup security which was my PIN code, just in case the fingerprint did not work etc, which I did and that all went well. Also added Fingerprint Security to my Samsung Account as well.
Now here is where the big problem is, re my Samsung Pay app, and Samsung please I beg you to fix this problem. When I went to Samsung Pay, it shows the Starup screen that says Samsung Pay etc than on the bottom of it my Samsung Account ID with my gmail address listed, fine. Than I press Start just located on the bottom right side and I get an option right on the bottom that says USE FINGERPRINT, so I click that, than it tells me to verify with fingerprint, than after that it jumps to a Samsung Pay Pin which is Powered by Samsung KNOX. And it also says Register a Samsung Pay PIN for payment authentication and app protection. Unfortunately in this screen I can't even type or put in my PIN, just does not allow me to.This is where my problem is. Basically I think what it's saying is that I need to input a pay pin before I can go ahead and use the Fingerprint for Samsung Pay

I have the same issue same phone. Running on oreo
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:
