Android has Factory Reset Protection. You'll need your Gmail password to unlock it even with a factory reset.

Did you set up a samsung account? In that case, just go to https://findmymobile.samsung.com/, sign in using your samsung account and then do the unlock option, it removes all locks and biometrics you have so you can get access and set new ones.
I tried doing that but get === Can't unlock your phone. Remote unlock is off.
Can i use ODIN to unlock the phone but keep data intact using HOME CSC

The password is part of the data. If you didn't bother setting up the remote unlock with Samsung, or Google, your screwed. The only way to remove the lock is to factory reset. Even then you will need the password to the Google acct.

You have to install twrp, then do backup of data partition to the sd card, transfer it to the pc then extract it.

Hi,
I was changing pattern. Somehow I applied wrong pattern and then locked phone.
Now I can't unlock with fingerprint. There aren't any connect Google Account button even I am connected to internet mobile + wifi.
I didn't install TWRP and my phone is not rooted. Are there any way to unlock without losing any data? I can do anything possible (like root or install twrp) if I wont lose data.
wont a hard reset work
Without TWRP you can't do much...

That will delete data.
Unfortunately, hard reset is the only way out of this. Since the data on the phone is encrypted, you require the pattern to decrypt the data in order to access it. This also includes access to the hash that is generated by your fingerprints which is why you need to enter your PIN or pattern on startup before you can unlock with your fingerprint.
Bottom line, never ever forget your backup authentication method!
Edit: I can't guarantee this will work, but it's worth a try:
Visit https://www.google.com/android/find (Find My Device)
Log in with your Google account
Click "Lock" and enter a new password.
Try that new password on your phone.

Go to settings, fingerprints and security, from that screen you can adjust whether or not to use pin screen. Hope that helps.

Apparently you didn't read the question..she can't get to the settings to change anything...and unfortunately my wife and now my daughter has locked their screens. and they can only be reset by doing a factory reset on them.

there a stock image flash it with twrp, that what i had to do to get around a invalid pin problem.
flash into trwp n go to data deleta any files that says lockscreen etc password pin patter
Flashing TWRP will likely cause an issue and you'd have to reset the phone as it's Android 7.
There's a way to do it by overwriting the encrypted sector that holds the lock files. Basically what that means is you'll have to spend a good amount of money on flasher box software.

Hello, my friend gave my a Samsung Galaxy J510fn, because she forgot her lock pattern. Phone is not stole or something, as you might think first I got a login and password for google account registered on this phone if that would help. Phone has been using by woman so there is no things like custom recovery, root or usb debbuging turned on and it has stock firmware. Normally I will factory reset this phone but she said that she don't want to lose anything, specially photos, videos etc. I tried to unlock this pattern by programs like dr.fone or backup data by Kies but none of these are seeing this phone :crying:
So is there any possibility for cracking this phone without losing any data?

But when we boot phone for the first time it's force us to create samsung account or we can skip that step? Because she said that she didn't mention of creating samsung account. Even tried to search her ID through email but can't find anything.

then wiping everything is the only choice i guess
You can backup files from recovery mode (should be able to do it in stock recovery) I think (maybe copy to PC). Then make a factory reset.
Recovery Mode - Vol+, Home and Power buttons
Download Mode - Vol- , Home and Power buttons
And 2nd option. If you can, go to Download Mode and flash her TWRP! Make Nandroid backup there and then make factory reset. Flash TWRP via Odin of course.
But you must read how to enable USB Debugging if it is needed, I forgot how to

HEY HEY HEY.
Chill, boyes. Leave reset alone.
You can go to Google Find My Device and change something from there.
So I just got this S8 from a family member and it they forgot their password to their google account and couldn't factory reset it. So I decided to factory reset it through the power+bixby+upvolume menu but then I got the google lock. Afterwards I went on the internet and attempted to bypass it using odin and the Factory binary. If anyone has any suggestions or could offer any help, it would be much appreciated. If it helps, the carrier is Sprint and the FRP lock is off on the system.

Hey All
Was looking for some help. I have a Galaxy sm-t550 with a passcode lock. I am unable to do a hard reset (holding down power + volume up + home button) because this device has been locked to an MDM, so that option is out.
I have successfully flashed the stock firmware using Odin downloaded from SamMobile. The issue is that is hasn't erased the user data and I'm back where I started. The only file contained in the download was the AP file (No BL or CSC). Is there a way to flash with Odin using this file to completely erase the old user data? Maybe it's simple but couldn't find this exact situation on the forum.
Thanks!

It's through my company that uses an MDM. User forgot passcode and it's not connect to WiFi so can't sync remotely.
Current build is 6.0. Just flashing to 7.0.1 T550XXU1CQJ6

Ok. Well, I flashed to T550XXU1CQJ6 but I can always flash back to 6.0.1.
Do you know of any solutions?

Install the combination firmware then factory reset from settings. Hopefully it should wipe mdm.
Enable OEM unlock also in developer settings if it's available.

I'm in the same boat. Son bought a tablet on Offerup. Dude quickly removed his seller profile. Son didn't even test to see if the device was locked as the buyer quote on quote told him "That the device was just dead and needed a charge." Device can't be factory reset due to MDM lock.
No idea what the password may be.
Unable to reach encryption settings to force the device to wipe itself due to a password..
Feels like he just bought a really expensive paperweight. Mind helping? I'll post any other information that is needed.

Have You fixed it yet?
I'd say pop a sim card in and sync it with the mdm database
Cannot find a way to do it otherwise,
