You can try thumb again in 30 or 60 second. But you can't reset your thumb without the pin or pattern lol. Factory reset only I think can work

Try force restart by pressing volume down + power button. If cannot, could you try to unlock the phone by using your Gmail login on the phone security page?

Guys yest I had a problem..I forgot my pattern lock n unable to unlock my device...I did hard reset by pressing power button+ volume up + home screen button

This method works n now I can use my device again.

My question is

If this method can bypass the pattern n fingerprint lock, wats the point of setting a pattern of fingerprint lock in the first place..u get wht I mean...

Any sort of locking method can't guaranteed you that your device is 100% from being stolen or safe. It's one of the measure to prevent your data being accessed by unauthorised party.

With hard reset, people won't be able to see what was left in your phone and get hold of your personal data in the phone.

I think u don't get what he meant above...

If someone get ur phone, u have ur password or fingerprint to unlock the phone. IF a hard reset can bypass this security measure, how safe is the data in ur phone? Anyone can access to ur phone data by doing a hard reset. A hard reset won't wipe ur phone data, I guess?

But I doubt a hard reset really works to bypass the security..

So its not safe to use the Samsung pay n stuff...
If data can be stolen y not remotely as well, looking at how fragile the android security...guess much hasn't improved all these years
