I am giving away my tab s2 to someone and reset the tablet to factory default and gave it to them without thinking about the fingerprint lock I had previously. Just double checking. Resetting clears all fingerprint locks right? It won't freak out and think it's stolen right?

Factory reset wipes out everything. That includes any built-in security you had configured.

how do i get rid of the swipe scree with the new update
its a wasted feature as i prefer the lock screen to be the main screen with my pin settings
instead of a pointless screen to swipe. to access the above
thanks
Update came through today...
...and I'm getting exactly this. Its crazy. I think it has something to do with the device owner, as my tablet is being weird about the owner account. I've logged a call with customer support and I'll update here when I know more. I suspect a wipe and reset will fix it... but why should I, damnit. I've already had to send this POC back to the shop three times (two screen replacements and some 'driver fix', or so they claimed...)
As suspected...
Asus tech support have asked me to wipe the device. Will report back later with results...
Same issue here and still remains after factory reset. Absolutely bizarre...
Yep...nope!
I can confirm a factory wipe has no effect on this issue.
Stuck in ASUS support hell
Now wiped the device (twice!) and no difference. They want me to RMA the unit. For now, I'm refusing. Interestingly, I've found someone having the same issue with a MeMo Pad 8. Is this ASUS security policy...?

My fingerprint failed and it asking for a password. Apparently I got creative because I have no idea what it is. Is there a way to reset the password without doing a factory reset?
Thanks for the help.

Still me - Tried a tip from Android Central that works for the S6 - put it in privacy mode. In the S6, the scanner pops up again. On the Tab S2 that doesn't work
I ended up doing the factory reset then got the hint for the password requirements. At that time I remembered my password (which is super annoying) In case it helps anyone, the fingerprint password must be a minimum of 6 characters and include 1 number and 1 letter. Now, of course, I've put it in my password app
Just as a handy tip I add the same thumb several times in fingerprint security at slightly different positions to make it more reliable for recognising me...
You get at lease 15 times to scan your finger print, you can use different fingers, and at the end process, you can use any finger that is used during the finger scan.
So its been a while since I have used my LG G4 and last time I used it, I did a complete wipe. Now that I went through the setup wizard, after putting up Wi-Fi, it asks for the PIN. Why would it need a PIN if it is reset. I got the issue removed by going back into the setup wizard and turning Wi-Fi off. Ok I used the phone like normal and even did the system update by turning Wi-Fi on again. Now that Android is updated, the lock screen shows up and it requests a PIN. I used my old PIN which has been the same since my G2 all the way to my G5. I don't mind having to do a complete wipe as I stated before that I did a complete wipe before turning on the device. Since last time I have used custom ROMs and such my computer crashed so I do not have the SDK on the PC. Could anyone please help and maybe answer why my phone requires a PIN even though it was just reset? Thanks in advance.

Is your bootloader unlocked?
No, it's original

I think you're screwed then. You could try using eRecovery, I've heard of people restoring this way and all their data on the phone wasn't wiped (as long as you don't choose the factory reset option) but I don't know if this will clear the password settings or it would remain after eRecovery.
Are your photos not backed up with Google photos/Huawei gallery backup?
Hi,
it's possible with secret codes access to phone and save data?
With this code *#*#2846579#*#* Project menù it's possible to use HiSuite to backup data?
And wipe all data and all the photos he/she wants to get hold on. That's NOT what he/she want to do.
What usb mode is it in, can you connect to PC to copy the photos off, then factory reset?

Ha, dont think you can get around this otherwise the whole point of a lock screen is useless so i think you need to do a full wipe
Like others said, you gota do factory reset to be able to remove lock screen. There is no bypass since of security safety to prevent hackers and anyone who steals the phone from accessing the content. If you made a Huawei account, then check https://cloud.huawei.com and login with the same email. Hopefully the images and videos are synced there so you can restore it after factory reset.
tried asking your daughter for the lock pattern?
Suddenly the WiFi on my daughter's s8 won't turn on. I go to turn it on, wheel spins for a few seconds and then turns back off. Just started yesterday was working fine prior.
I've reset all network connections
Factory reset phone
Nothing seems to let me re-enable WiFi at all doesn't make a lick of sense. Anyone have any suggestions to try before I have to go buy a new replacement ugh.
Phone is TMobile s8 on the latest software G950U with Android 9 April Patch
When you did the factory reset, did you also reinstall any apps or settings? If so, reset again, but don't restore anything. If you still can't turn on WiFi, I'd say the radio has failed. Time to give her yours and get an S10. [emoji1]

Guessing radio is failed, because before it even hits restore point when first boot after factory reset and it asks if you want to configure WiFi it exhibits the same behavior Ugh this sucks

No reason not to take it to a T-Mobile shop and see if they can do anything with it. I just wouldn't get my hopes up.
