Help！ Locked out of my phone!

Its pretty hopeless but maybe will be able to help me.
I think I tried to unlock my phone with a fingerprint with a finger that wasn't registered. Although I think it was. And the phone just cannpt be unlocked using any of the 3 fingers I was regestered with. It immediately going to the PIN screen, which I don't think I have. It gives me the option to reset with google account, but I cannot do it because I live in China and the VPN is off. Of course I cannot turn it on because I can't go into my phone.
Tried with Android device manager, didn't have my samsung account sync.
Is there any way I could reset it in other way?
If not, If I do factory reset will it erase all the previous settings and just give me to Re-setup my phone?
Thank you all...:crying:

That's what all shoplifters say. Your only option is samsung. Gotta show them proof of purchase.

I understand what you mean. But If I was a shoplifter I probably would not need to recover my data or photos. Ill just directly do factory reset.
Samsung here In china is useless. Any way I did already factory reset, Now have differen't problems.
Im very pissed at Samsung that has this insane bug that can just make the phone useless, i've used it with no problems for a week or so, all of the sudden, just lock my out , and Fuking China doesn't have google to help me recover..

Why don't you have your password? You have to type it in twice whenever you set finger prints for your lockscreen

Can't you just reset your google account pw on your pc, then unlock your phone with your google account?
After I got out of a long hot bath, i tried to unlock with my thumb print numerous times unsuccessfully, had to unlock by backup pin, which I had forgotten...thought i was outta luck, but luckily I was able to unlock via my google acct.
Honestly though...i tend to agree with Ambervals6...that's what shoplifters say lol

Actually I don't remember that I had the option to set the PIN. But I always do the same one. Now using MX4 Pro, and it works great, Probably my unit had a huge bug that waited to be exploited..
About google, I've explained, If I was not in China I could have unlocked, but my astrill VPN was not running, and I didn't setup samsung account which apperantly was stupid.
I've already bought the "package disabler" from playstore and disabled all the bloat including this..
Any way, i've got very unlucky, today will bring it to samsung service center.

You can install custom recovery I forgot where it is but you can use adb in the recovery to delete fingerprint and passw files and then any password you type will unlock the phone

Hm good idea, but the HK version SM-N9200 still doesn't have root. So couldn't do it.

Many international hotels have internet access which bypasses the Great Firewall. If you were to go there you wouldn't need a VPN....

Unable to access Note 5
Similar issue; unable to access my Note 5 with biometrics, password or Google account (even after resetting Google password). Absolutely ridiculous! I do, on some attempts, see a message that pops up stating, "bootstrap failed" but unsure if that's related to the issue.
I need help to access my phone asap WITHOUT resetting it!!!

To install a custom recovery, the phone doesn't need to be rooted.

OnePlus 3 A3003 - Locked out by Google Find My Device

Hi all
So I have an issue I hope the XDA community can help me out with. My girlfriend forgot her phone after a class, panicked, locked the phone via the 'Find my Device' service, but got it back the day after. Shouldn't be much of a problem except that we cannot unlock the phone at all.
1. We can log in and see the phone via the links below. The first link gives the option to set a new password, but since she has a pattern lock this is overwritten. All other functions via these sites seems to work.
https://myaccount.google.com/find-your-phone
https://www.google.com/android/find
2. When trying to unlock the phone it will not accept the normal pattern. She has also tested her previous pattern, but no luck. It tells her the pattern was incorrect and displays a timed delay for the next unlock attempt. She is 100% certain she's using the correct pattern as it is the same as on her work phone.
Even after 20+ attempts we do not get a prompt to reset the password or account recovery via the Gmail account associated with the phone.
3. USB Debugging is not enabled and standard recovery mode. ADB sideload works, but no luck with any of the various pattern reset packages. Normal ADB commands doesn't work (error:closed) so can't remove gesture.key (Newbie in this area)
4. Only reason we haven't done a factory reset is that she's a musician and have some demo files on the phone that were not backed up and she doesn't have any automatic sync going on... Despite I have told her to enable this many many times:-/
So we are getting a bit desperate trying to get the files off the device. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

I never try this but maybe it is possible to copy them by connecting the phone to a pc in recovery mode? I believe it's not possible as it is a privacy risk if it's allowed but worth a try..
With custom recovery it's possible but not sure with stock recovery.

i am copying this from other website. you can try this method.
If your phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network and it is linked to your Samsung account then you can unlock your device’s screen remotely from the Find My Mobile website.
Use any computer or mobile device with Internet access, open a web browser and go to http://findmymobile.samsung.com. Click on SIGN IN.
Click on MORE.
Click on UNLOCK MY DEVICE.
Enter your Samsung account password and then click on UNLOCK.
Depending on the network and the state of your device, this process may take a few minutes. You will receive a notification and the screen of your mobile device will be unlock.

Unlock PIN not recognized and phone blocked

Hi all, feel silly posting a question like this but I am completely out of ideas at this point.
This morning I woke up and my P30 pro asked me to unlock it through PIN instead of using fingerprint (it usually does this sometime during the day "for security reasons"). Put my usual PIN, same one I am using since 20 years on all my mobile phone... PIN not recognized. Did it again various times paying attention, still no luck.
Things I did till now:
- Rebooted and retried, no luck
- Rebooted in recovery, safe mode, retried, no luck again
I am trying to unlock it since hours and after 3 wrong attempts I am blocked for 1 hour. I am absolutely sure that the PIN I am using is the correct one, anybody in the forum ever had a similar issue? And any idea on how I can solve this?
I own it since July 2019, never did a factory reset, phone upgraded to latest rom EMUI 12. There is a way I can at least access the internal memory to save some data? Photos are backup using google photos, but I would like to keep the original images before trying with a factory reset from recovery menu.
Thanks

Hey, I have exactly the same issue today. It asks me for a pin and I use the correct pin but it does not unlock. Did you find a solution?

Hey again,
I found the solution on my side. After the update the lock screen pin was replaced with another's app password (bank app screen password in my case). In order to be able to try many different passwords you are using to access different apps on phone and bypass waiting time:
Solution
1) Find old android phone and format it
2)Set up the old phone and use the gmail account you have on your p30 pro.
3) Select to restore from gmail and it will ask for lock screen password.
4) You can try many different passwords without waiting and when the password is accepted you can use it to unlock you are p30 pro.

Hi @apoelultras , now that you are saying that to me I just remembered that exactly the day before I also changed the PIN of a baking app on my phone! In the meantime I also tried other PINs and I finally unblocked the P30pro using a very obvious PIN (my birthday date), that for instance was the same PIN I momentary put in the banking app (I usually access it using fingerprint).
But how is that possibile that an application is changing the lockscreen PIN? This is a bug of enormous proportions!

I've the same issue, but i've tried all possible PIN's i'm using, but it doesn't work for me.

Phone locked, PIN not recognized

Hello,
TL;DR: I cannot unlock my Huawei P10 device, PIN code was not changed by me, but the device does not recognize it. Need to remove PIN or push forward without resetting.
Long version: I was driving with my device connected through Android Auto, Spotify was playing and I was tracking an order through Uber Eats that should arrive a bit after I got home.
After parking the vehicle, the music died, and so did the phone. After taking the cable out and trying to restart the device, it came back up.
However, even though it accepts the SIM card PIN, it does not accept the Screen unlock PIN (which is actually the same). After rebooting, it still does not accept the PIN and I'm not waiting for 1h before I can try a new code.
In order to insert the SIM PIN, I have to press OK, but the screen PIN does not, I just add the PIN and it unlocks.
Can anyone make heads or tails out of this situation and help me recover access to the smartphone without doing a factory reset and losing all the unsaved data?

Give your girlfriend her phone back if you feel insecure about your relationship it's better to talk to her about it, if you can't do that then it's best to just leave
Also if that is your phone and not your girlfriend's then you might be giving it a hard reset unless you have developer options open with enabled USB debugging and a computer nearby

It's not my wife's phone, it's mine Plus, if I wanted to do such a thing, I just need to use finger unlock
I do have developer options open, not sure about the USB debugging, but it might not be because I've been trying with ADB and whatever commands I could find, but so far no success....

I use to sell drugs to a guy who named himself jimmy_jams on telegram. Your not Australian are you

No, I'm not.
Also, is there no solution to this problem? Do I really need to do a factory reset?
