Samsung s9 forgotten unlock screen pin code

[Paulcristian]

Hello, 

I forgot my screen lock pin code, but I was able to unlock the phone using my fingerprint. Now, after many attempts to unlock the phone with pin code, even the fingerprint is not working. Is this a permanent or I can use my fingerprint after a few hours will pass?

Did your phone reject your fingerprints when you scanned them @Paulcristian  ?

If so then yes you do have to wait a short while for it to work again or may have to login using another avenue.

Other options if all else fails 》

Please be aware the below solutions can delete all your saved info on the phone.

Thank for you answer @BandOfBrothers.

Yes, after many attempts to unlock the phone with my forgotten pin code, my phone rejected my fingerprints. 

My question is now, how long do i have to wait until i can use my fingerprint to unlock the phone....12 ..24 hours ?

On my phone if I use the wrong fingerprint it gives a 29 second countdown timer to be able to use my fingerprints again @Paulcristian

Yes, so does my phone, but this time increases with the number of attempted mistakes. I did tried for 50 times or so....and i have this question if the device will permanently locked me, after so many attempts

[BandOfBrothers]

I don't think so as it just won't allow you access.

Then I'll wait a few hours before trying again.

Thanks for your help, mate!
