Cannot sign into my phone after factory reset

[Crystal_545]

I factory reset an old galaxy s5. I can still use so I reset it. Though of course I have a new note 10  phone -  sometimes I need my old one. Samsung won't let me in.  How do I get access back into my old phone.  I need it for recording and the camera. I reset the password. And tried everything. I think I should call Samsung maybe ?

Hi,
Try Below

Go to Samsung
Find My Mobile 
from a computer, tablet or another phone

Select UNLOCK

Set a new password or pin

Samsung Find My Mobile also disables biometric scanners, so once you set your new password you can use it to unlock your Galaxy phone.

Hi @Crystal_545  @xSteveuk has provided the steps needed to unlock and set a new password/pin.  For some more detail see here https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/what-is-find-my-mobile-and-how-can-i-use-it-to-loc...  It now also works with  offline Devices  https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/24/21399627/samsung-find-my-mobile-offline-feature

I am also locked out of my S21 and had it 'factory reset' but still can't access it as it isn't registered on my Samsung account. How do I get around this?
