Reset, there's no other way. If there was another way to get in, it would defeat the purpose of the security lock.

I think you can't do anything.

Insert your SIM card in another phone, and disable PIN protection.
That way the phone will boot. But other than that, I don't know if anything can be done...
Maybe solved

Tablet keeps switching to PIN unlock

I bought my Tablet S yesterday and applied the 4.0.3 OTA update overnight so I can't say whether it was caused by the update or not, but here's what happens:
My phone keeps reverting back to PIN unlock. I never set it to PIN unlock before, and even when I change it back to slide unlock, after a little while it'll be back to PIN unlock.
Hi poebae,
that's a strange bevaior. Since u just bought ur tablet I'd assume u dont have much on it by now. So I'd factory reset it and see if it'll solve my problem.
Outta curiosity, how the hell do you get back in your tablet if it sets a PIN code you dont know?
Are you syncing corporate email? Some companies configure the exchange server to require Android and iOS phones to add extra security and one of those security options is to require a PIN.
However, it should have alerted you and prompted you to set the PIN rather than just changing the setting.

Yep, I ended up just doing a factory reset and that seems to have solved it.

I just used '0000'. I either got lucky and guessed the PIN that the original owner used (I bought it second hand), or that's some kind of default code.

Nope, not syncing corporate e-mail, but thank you for the suggestion!

[Q] What Apps can you use when password locked ?

Hi All,
I was wondering if someone could confirm what apps you can run while the phone is still password locked. someone confirmed it is possible to operate the camera. But I am hoping it is also possible to at least do some forms of quick note taking, possibly audio notes as well. Can these be added and operated from lock screen at all (create only, password to access existing etc.) ?
Work enforces a password lock policy and I find that often, I find the delay in having to unlock etc. just too inconvenient...
Thanks,
Zuber

I can't be the only one that locks the phone with a password or pattern surely ?

Hello, I have a problem, few days ago I added two more fingerprints and then added new password, today my phone turned off, and then when i started it, i cant remember my password anymore, I know that i can do factory reset, but I have a lot of pictures with my family and that stuff... And i know i can unlock it with my samsung id when i go to found my mobile but i cant go in, samsung says that password or id is wrong but i changed password and i dont know where is the problem...
I hope you can help me :/

You can't remember your password? Keep trying. Otherwise a factory reset seems like the only option

Verizon Note Edge - Reactivation Lock Problems

Verizon Note Edge - Reactivation Lock Problems (Legit Samsung Account)
Ughh, so I got my Note Edge, Had it unlocked and rooted running ver 6.0.1 (was originally 5.0.1) For some reason it would not allow me to turn off the activation lock even though it was legitimately in my account, I logged into account.samsung.com and verified it. Did a master reset on phone with no help. Next thing I did was delete the samsung account and recreate it. (Probably a huge mistake). When I try to use my account to unlock the phone I keep getting 'processing failed' I have tried every flash and bypass that I've been able to find with no luck at all. I've been dinking with this for over a week now.
Contacted Samsung yesterday and basically got a runaround response from them.
I still have the email stating the device was registered to me with this IMEI but it didn't help any. I have the original simm card and have done everything with simm installed. at first the OTG cable was working but wouldn't still wouldn't let me turn the lock off. Now it won't even pop up file manager when I conect the OTG cable.
I don't care how I get this lock off of here but can someone point me in the right direction for something that is currently working either through samsung or any other alternative means. Am so frustrated at the moment.
Same issue here. Help!!
Man, i cant beleive this isnt possible? I still have the phone sitting here because i have stuff on it i need. Anyone? Any solutions at all? It's not the google lock but the samsung lock.
What helped me with my note edge I found on technocaretricks website it is Samsung account bypass/reset solution for all models. Also watching a quick utube video or 2. (Sorry cudn't post links)
Hope it helps
