Problem with Reactivation Lock

I've switch on the Reactivation Lock. My phone is rooted and in the reboot options I've selected reboot to recovery.
Now the phone is in a loop trying to enter in recovery and giving the activation lock warning.
I think that the problem is that the reboot to recovery option is always forcing to enter in recovery and the Reactivation Lock don't allow this.
Does anybody know a way to force to boot in the system to disable the reactivation lock? I can't believe that nobody had reboot to recovery by mistake without disabling Reactivation Lock previously.

I reply myself. I've found a solution, perhaps could be usefult for other user:
I've tried to flash a recovery with Odin. Obviously it fails because the Reactivation Lock, but when you reboot the phone, it boots to system and now it's possible to deactivate it.
The option Reactivation is useful but it's importan to take care.

You forgot to enable OEM unlock, now you have to flash stock rom using odin, and do it again, this time don't forget to enable OEM unlock, how are you going to mess around with your system, when you forgot to unlock bootloader when rooting?
no, i am still in download mode on the samsung. Flashing twrp just didn't work. Phone is still working ok. I am just getting this msg when i am trying to flash twrp with Odin.

You need to enable OEM unlock and than reflash TWRP in Odin disable auto rebot in option after finishing insert your baterry.

Can I enable my fingerprint lockscreen whitout enabling encryption

I like to regularly backup my data partition using TWRP. I noticed once I enable my fingerprint screen lock, TWRP is unable to access my data partition because Android 8.0 encrypts it from the moment I set a screen lock password (obligated when I enable fingerprint screen lock). For the moment my device in not encrypted and I don't want it to be encrypted, "preserve force encryption" is off in Magisk. Can I take the risk and enable my fingerprint screen lock now? Or will it encrypt my data partition again? I don't want my data partition to be encrypted as I like to access it out of Android. My bootloader is unlocked and my phone is a Samsung SM-G935F (Galaxy 7 edge) with Android 8.0 (TGPKernel.S7E.6.12.6).
ps: TWRP does not ask for a password after my Android device/partition is encrypted.
So does enabling a screen lock turn on encryption automatically and can I disable this behaviour?
Use the modded version of TWRP (the one on my signature, green one) for S7 edge.

SM-G950F can't restore?

Hi, on my SM_G950F at startup appeared the message "encryption failed" after going in Recovery Boot. It has an official G950FXXU5DSHC ROM and FRP Lock: On and OEM Lock: On.
Any idea how to restore it?

Do you know the last used Google account details? So you can access ones restored? Of so just boot to recovery and wipe data/cache. Then it should boot

Unfortunately the message appears at startup "encryption failed" and even a factory reset doesn't solve my problem
