I can't remember my password since upgrading

[SteveQuinn]

As title.

I was going to pass my older phone, an S10 to my son but after turning it on it asked got the password and surprisingly, I can't remember it. 

I've tried to unlock it via find my mobile, it's located etc but it has apparently remote unlock is off. This means I can't remotely erase the data neither. 

What else can I try because I'm all out of guesses at the moment.

Try Google find my device and try to remotely easy it from there

Google find my phone is different from Samsung. It will give an option to remotely erase the data

[SteveQuinn]

Yeah I get that but it's not showing through devices there and that's probably because as the smart things site says "remote unlock" is off so it won't show up.

I've attached a screenshot. You can see my watch, s22 and tablet.

You will need to go into the recovery method and do a manual factory reset

I'm currently trying that by holding power and volume down button.

Waiting for the vibration and quickly changing to power volume up and bixby. But it just goes to the login/password screen.

You need to have it connected to another device. It can be another Samsung phone or any USB using device when trying the the steps

[SteveQuinn]

Ah ok I didn't know. Could it work whilst charging or does that not count as a USB device even though its using a USB cable into a plug.

[kingtom]

It won't work by charging . It need to be another device

I've got to the menu and used the factory reset option by connecting it to my tablet. Thanks a lot for your help.
