Hi everyone 

I forgot my secure folder password and I can't inter it or reset pin (NO RESET PIN OPTION)

I am wondering if there's any other way to recover my files

Device samsung a53 5g

Unfortunately, If nothing else works, the only way to access your secure folder if you cannot figure out the passcode is to delete the entire thing. I know it sounds crucial but, you already have the information in another folder on your phone. Pre Galaxy 22 users who had the SD card as an option (which I am one) I used the SD card as my secure folder/backup. In my opinion, my advice to anyone, ditch the secure folders because the samsung cloud and OneDrive is quite reliable and you don't need to worry about forgetting your PIN.

I don't understand why so many people are upset by the fact that Secure Folder is ... secure! It's designed to be ... secure, which means that without the correct credentials nobody - including you - gets in. Otherwise it wouldn't be secure; if someone, anyone - even such as yourself - could get in via some other backdoor without the correct credentials.

If secure is too secure for you, don't use Secure Folder.

Because its not. 

I set mine up it asked for a pin. I set the pin. 

I put my keepsakes , tax documents, reciepts etc in there.  Next day I got a notification secure wallet locked enter password. (Password ) I only set up a pin. 

Now im locked out. Tried all my usual passwords. App is faulty no question about it.
