Hello, I'm stuck with my s7 edge screen lock, I've always used my fingerprint scanner but when configured enterprise email account into the cellphone it asked me to set a PIN (weeks ago) and since then I just used fingerprint to unlock it, however yesterday my batery ran out and its asking for this PIN now. I don't have the samsung account to unlock it and ADM from google wont set a temporary password as "there is one already in place"
1. My phone is not rooted
2. I don't have any recovery tool installed
Is there any zip or bypass up to date that I could flash via SD card to remove the lock screen, please help
Short answer - no. You'd need to factory reset the device or enter the pin.
If security was that easy to bypass, it wouldn't really be security.

There are tons of tutorials of screen unlocking and even apps that you just plug into the USB and click "screen unlock bypass" thing is I did not find any for S7 Edge, that is my question, no need to reply with such unexplored answer.

#1 - There may well be lots of apps which claim to do this. If it was actually that simple, why would you have a screen lock in the first place? These are snake-oil type apps
#2 - Any apps you may have found that do work probably (almost certainly) don't work beyond Android 4.4 as security became a much larger focus for the OS as a whole
#3 - just because I haven't cited sources doesn't mean that I haven't conducted previous research. I had an issue where my Google Pixel C would not authenticate with the pattern key. I could not bypass it and had to extract all the data I could using AirDroid before factory resetting the device
It wasn't an 'unexplored' answer, it was merely telling it to you straight rather than trying to sugar coat it. Remind me not to answer your question next time. :good:
It doesn't mean that it's not the answer you seek, it's not the truth. There's a reason why people are told to remember passwords, and if their memories suck, they should write it down somewhere.
Newer phones are more securely locked than older phones now precisely for the reasons that Android is being made more secure due to demands for use in corporate and government settings. as far as I know none of those hacks works for anything higher than Android 6.0, and the S7 launches with that Android version.

I'm in the same boat, took out my S7 after a couple of months, and do not remember the password anymore. The only saving grace is, it still connects to my home wifi network. I'm able to use Android Device managr to locate it, make it ring, send a lock meesage to it. I've logged into my samsung account, it lists the S7 edge as one of my devices but, it is unable to locate the phone. I may not have setup Samsung findmyphone on the device after I reset it t factory default in the past, which is why it is unable to locate it.
The phone is turned on, and connected to my home WiFi - but, is obviosuly not being located by Samsung Fund My Phone. There is NO option to reset, recover password, it have bumped upto 60 minutes wait to try again as I;ve entered the password unsuccessfully multiple times.
All the guides I've read on the net are completely useless, they all either require rooting, which I dont have as I had corporate email setup on it and the IT policy woulndt allow rooted phones ot be used, or they default to hard resetting the device. Some suggest after multiple failed attemps, the option to reset password should show up on the lock screen, but, all I get it, please try again in 60 minutes.
The phone is legitimitely mine, Android Device Manager finds it under my gmail account, but, Samsung doesnt seem to talk to it - is there any option avaialble?. I really don't want to reset the phone. I've emailed Samsung support as well, but sentiment on the net is, they're no apple when it comes to support.
Android normally secures your device by demanding a PIN, pattern, or full password. Your phone isn't useless if you forget the unlock code — you can bypass lock screen on Samsung S7 Edge.
As Google tightens security, this has become more difficult on modern versions of Android. But there's always a way to make your phone usable again, as long as you remember your Google account's username and its password.
Older versions of Android — Android 4.4 KitKat and older — have an integrated way to bypass your pattern, PIN, or other password if you forget it. Google removed this feature in Android 5.0 Lollipop, so you'll have to use a different method if you have a device with a newer version of Android.
To find this feature, first enter an incorrect pattern or PIN five times at the lock screen. You'll see a "Forgot pattern," "forgot PIN," or "forgot password" button appear. Tap it. You'll be prompted to enter the username and password of the Google account associated with your Android device.
Thanks Adeliz, however...

This issue has been addressed and no actual cause has been determined.
My pin lock pad which I usually use is replaced by a keyboard for no reason and my pin doesn't work anymore.
it keeps asking me for a password and after every 5 attempts I get a 30 seconds countdown.
To add insult to injury trying to restart the computer boots me into download mode.
It's very frustrating to say the least. Fortunately I have a twrp backup that I can restore but it's such a waste of time.
Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Useless posts just to raise your post count are all over this forum, seriously if you cant offer anything remotely helpful why post at all? Also put your tongue back in!
OP can you extrapolate how to arrive at the issue and also please state device model, device status etc?
Are you using an application to set/unset your PIN?
I had this happening to me repeatedly, however it was accepting my PIN as the password so was more just annoying that anything else.
After some experimenting I found that it was Secure Settings (setting the PIN) that seemed to be the cause - somehow it was setting the PIN correctly the first time it ran and then subsequently it would switch to password.
I ditched it and instead setup my set/unset PIN via Pebble Locker (also using Wifi and other bluetooth devices to set/unset PIN).
After using it for a few days successfully, it locked once setting a password instead of PIN, and this time my usual PIN failed to unlock it. Luckily it was about 11pm and I knew that it would automatically unlock at about 7am the next day when the wifi was automatically switched back on - so I didn't need to reset or anything (although I got the impression at the time that you could unlock it via going to your google account somehow - but I can't recall the details and may have this entirely wrong).
I setup a Tasker profile so that I'd have a backdoor to disable the PIN by plugging it into power and checking if I'm at home at the time. Not the most secure solution, but hardly wide open either.
I'm having the same issue and it also appears to be a quirk with Secure Settings. Actually locked me out of my phone yesterday, had to return home where I had task to unlock phone in order to get back in.

I've had this exact issue with Secure Settings
Solved (how can I add that to the title?)
Verizon Galaxy S5, rooted and running 4.4.4
I had a weird and unsettling incident today. I had my phone set up for pattern unlock. I pulled my phone from my pocket and it was on a pin unlock screen. I was unable to get it to go back to pattern unlock, even with pulling the battery. As so often happens when I'm ambushed with a password requirement (the old pattern unlock didn't require a pin), I couldn't remember it. I'm sure I'll remember it eventually but I needed to have navigation right then so I had to do the reset, lost some stuff, nothing too important (old factory reset didn't used to wipe the SD so I lost some stuff there too). Mostly annoying but neither here nor there really. I always assume that anything on my phone is volatile.
So that was that. I assumed my phone had pocket-swiped and got caught in a pin fallback. Except I'm playing with my phone now and I'm unable to duplicate the effect. I have a pattern set and a pin behind it but playing with it and getting the pattern wrong doesn't lock me into having to enter the pin. If I get the pattern wrong several times, I get prompted with forgot pattern (which prompts me for my google account info) or backup pin (which prompts me for my pin but allows me to hit the back arrow to go back to the pattern).
If it helps, I did not have encryption on this device. It was not new when I got it so I had performed a factory reset so it should have been in exactly the same state. Can anyone help me understand how I got locked into this "having to enter a pin" state?
[Edit: I just tried enabling the pin lock screen and it is different from the screen that I saw which was more like the "backup pin" screen]
As an additional question, I see there is an option to disable the auto factory reset. If you disable it, what are your options for if you forget your passwords? How would you reset the device?
Edit2: OK, the clue was in there. If the auto factory reset is disabled, you are able to go back and forth between the pattern unlock and the pin unlock. If the auto factory reset is enabled, you jump to the pin unlock and then you get 10 chances at the pin and there is apparently no way to get back to the pattern unlock. I'll reserve comment on whether having the auto factory reset enabled as the default is a good idea or not.
Just as an additional note, I just checked and it is not possible to unlock the device from the android device manager when it has a pattern lock or pin lock screen set
This just happened to me after the tenth try and fail it wiped the whole internal and external cards and went in to boot loop I had to reflash the rom best thing to do is turn off the phone boot to safestrap and restore a back if you go through with the 10 tries at least pull your memory card before the 10th try
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app
It looks like a good answer I found was that if you load up the play store on a browser on a PC, there is an app you can install that will unlock your device. Pretty smart (though not cheap [edit: actually pretty cheap, just not free]). I did need the nav but if I had known of this app, I probably would just have asked directions. I definitely should have pulled the sd card anyway.
Here is the link to the app. There is also a free version which does less. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.thomascannon.screenlockbypass.pro

Hello,
As i attempted to root my Galaxy Tab A (SM-T580), it came up with the following message..."custom binary frp lock". In an attempting to repair that error, this error come up..."An error has occurred while updating the device software".
Can anyone please give me a fix for this. My tablet is on 6 months old & i'd like to savage it if i can. any help is deeply & truly appreciated.

I found this on xda from someone else with the SM-T580:

It's very frustrating because I need this tablet working in order to take notes in my college classes. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks.
I was having the same problem, but i figured it out last night. Without OTG cable, Odin, SideSync, Realtek, or a PC. I'd been messing with it for 3 days, so Im not 100% sure of what everything said and i'm definitely not going to relock it to try an duplicate it, but if you've been all over youtube then you've seen methods that require a wifi connection, (I found it easiest to use my phone's wifi hotspot) you disconnect your hotspot or unplug your router immediately when it says checking for software update, which appears after clicking accept on the privacy policy. (Again it's easier to just turn off the hotspot than to unplug your router" When done correctly it souls say "couldn't sign in" and then the next screen will either ask you to set up time and date or it asks you to add a name to the tablet (can't remember which is first) then asks to set up a screen lock passcode or pattern (set up either one), after doing all this 100 times I noticed it asked me if i wanted to set up a IMAP/POP3 account to use within the Gmail app (which I'd been skipping) but for some reason it didn't give me this option every time. You have to be connected to the internet for the next part so if you haven't already go ahead and turn your hotspot back on or router and add any email address other than a Gmail (I used my yahoo account) then follow through with the setup into it takes you back to the very first screen you see when you turned on the tablet. Now just turn the tablet screen off and back on (just the screen, do not power down the tablet) put in your lockscreen password and now In the top right corner there should be a little yellow icon which lets you switch users (if you see this, you've got it beat) now create a new user signing into your Gmail and Samsung accounts (if you don't have one, create a new account) once you're done with that it will take you to the home screen, pull down the notification bar and go into settings (notice since you're on an added user you can't factory reset the device) find "Users", and then switch back to the owner profile, it then tells you that you still need to set up the tablet to continue. Once i clicked okay it now let me pull down the notification bar to access settings, but this time you're on the owners account so you can factory reset it, go to "Back up and Reset" and then go ahead and factory reset it again. If done correctly the FRP will no longer be on the tablet. I know this probably sounds extremely complex so if you have any questions feel free to message me and Ill give you my email and phone number and ill help walk you through it
Ok this is going to be a nightmare to explain, my brother has an S8 on Sprint, his battery was low and turn on max power settings and enabled some sort of restricted app usage setting or something to that extent, after locking his phone he went to unlock it (he has a password lock) the keyboard to type won't pop up I'm guessing because he switched his default to Gboard, ok this is where it gets screwy and yes he managed to mess up this bad, I did some googling and realized Samsung find my mobile has an unlock screen option if you sign into it with your Samsung account on your phone, so I gave him my phone and he tried to sign in here forgot his password because he used a randomly generated password with lastpass, ok I download LastPass it won't let me in I'm not a recognized device, I think try the desktop site I get not the right location because he's not living where he originally set it up at, so I thought reset your Samsung account password and send it to your Gmail he can't get into his Gmail because again he used a randomly generated password with LastPass and he can't get into LastPass, id factory reset with Stock Recovery but FRP will kick in and he doesn't know the password.
Look I've done my fair share of rooting and roming and installing stuff I shouldn't have, but I've never messed up this bad, it's beyond what I can think of though, I've tried everything I can think of but any help would be appreciated thank you in advance
I've contacted Samsung support and tried explaining everything but they are just f***ing worthless, they kept thinking I wanted to reboot the phone when I was asking if battery saver turned off when the battery was full
Should also say he took the Oreo update whenever it dropped for the S8

Hi everyone.
This morning I woke up and about to answer my text but once I tried to unlock the phone by the fingerprint, it won't respond and shows the message "The fingerprint sensor is not responding, try again later." So I decide to unlock by the pattern which is a simple 4 dots pattern that I've been using for more than 6 years so it can't be wrong. But the device said "Incorrect pattern" for 5 times until it lock itself for 30 seconds.
As far as I've known I didn't update or install any suspicious apps either. No Anti-Virus, No Cleaner No root and anything just FB and some games that are unharm. I didn't change the security settings for like years since it was already safe. I haven't set the smart lock or anything either. The way to unlock my phone is only fingerprint and pattern only. No tricks.
I've manage to unlock by restart the phone on the lock screen and manage to get in by that pattern that I've been using and the fingerprint sensor came back to work.
My question is what can cause this to happened? Is it a bug?
Side Note:
Scenario 1: My aunt's Galaxy Note 8 happened as well. But my aunt's phone doesn't even have a password lock or fingerprint set up because she doesn't leave the house much and she got nothing to lose on her phone. One day she install a mobile banking app and the bank staff asked her to put set up a lock screen security so she set to the password that she can remember and writes it down on the note in case she forgets.
When she came back home and she tries to unlock the phone it said incorrect password many times I even try to fix it for her but no luck until we solve it by unlocking it with Find My Mobile.
Scenario 2: My colleague's Galaxy J7 also encountered the security problem where he can't use his own password to unlock his phone but that's because he install some phony app called "Samsung Max" which is not made by Samsung but he thought it was the Samsung's app. I don't know what the app can do but it seems that it some sort of cleaner app. I've read the comment in the Play Store and saw that someone was like "Thanks a lot Samsung (implies Samsung) this app save me more space" and the dev replies back like "Thanks a lot" (won't denied that he wasn't an actual Samsung company)
Can apps even change the security settings on people phones these days? I've haven't visit XDA for many years since when I was having fun rooting my Galaxy S2.
What's your opinion?
Happened to my sister's note 4 before, and since then she don't use fingerprints in fear she gets locked out. Use Samsung find my device and unlock the phone. It didn't happen to her since then (around 2 4 years)
