How to recover your Samsung Galaxy S6 lock screen password

Having trouble getting past your Galaxy S6 lock screen? We are here to help.

Uh-oh. You ave recently set up a lock screen backup password on your Samsung Galaxy S6, but you are plumb forgot it. Luckly there are two simple ways to reset your passcode and get back into your phone, provided you have some other critical knowledge to prove you deserve back in. Let us show you how to get back into that phone.
Option 1: Unlock with your Google Account

    If you enter an incorrect password, pattern, PIN or fingerprint enough times (usually 20+) on the lock screen, you’ll be prompted to enter your Google Account credentials, which will unlock your phone.
    If you are using two-step authentication, you will need to visit Google’s security site on your computer and generate a one-time password to enter on your phone.

Unfortunately if you dont know your Google Account password either, you are out of luck with this method (and you probably have bigger problems).

Alternatively, Samsung also has its own remote device management service. Among doing plenty of other things, it can also unlock your phone.

    You will have to have registered for a Samsung account already when you first set up the device for this to work. Here are what that process would have looked like.
    Visit Samsung Find My Mobile website on your computer browser and log in with your Samsung Account credentials.
    Click Unlock my Device on the left side bar.

Your phone will communicate with the website and unlock.

Once you’re back in, you’ll want to make sure your next unlock code is a little easier to remember.
