5 Ways to Unlock Secure Folder in Samsung Without Password

If you find yourself locked out of your Secure Folder on Samsung, and can’t remember your password, don’t worry; there are several methods you can try to gain access again. Here are five ways to unlock your Secure Folder without the password:

1. Reset Your Secure Folder Password:

Samsung allows you to reset your Secure Folder password from the device’s settings. Here’s how:

– Go to Settings.

– Scroll down and tap on Biometrics and security.

– Choose Secure Folder.

– Tap on Forgot PIN?

– You will need to enter your Samsung account credentials and then follow the on-screen instructions to reset your Secure Folder PIN or password.

2. Use Your Samsung Account:

If you’ve set up a Samsung account on your mobile, you can unlock your Secure Folder by using the ‘Unlock via Google’ feature.

– After a few unsuccessful attempts to unlock the folder, you should see an option to ‘Unlock via Google’ or ‘Unblock’.

– Tap on it and enter your Samsung account credentials.

– Once verified, you can change the lock type and regain access.

3. Factory Reset:

A drastic measure, if other methods fail, is performing a factory reset. This will erase all data on the device, including everything in Secure Folder.

– Turn off your phone.

– Press and hold the Volume Up button and the Power button simultaneously until the logo appears.

– The Recovery Mode menu should appear. Use the volume buttons to navigate to ‘Wipe data/factory reset’.

– Select it with the power button, confirm your choice, and the phone will begin resetting.

Remember that all data will be lost if not backed up.

4. Use ‘Find My Mobile’ Service:

If ‘Remote Controls’ is enabled on your phone through the ‘Find My Mobile’ service by Samsung:

– Visit findmymobile.samsung.com

– Log in with your Samsung account credentials.

– Select Unlock my screen > Unlock, and wait for the process to finish.

5. Contacting Samsung Support:

If all else fails, reach out directly to Samsung support for help with unlocking your Secure Folder.

Note that not all methods may be applicable or available based on device model or software version. Always backup important information before attempting to reset passwords or perform a factory reset on any device.

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
