Please Help Urgently; Locked Out Of New Samsung Phone by adanny01(op): 9:36pm On May 04, 2021
Got a new Samsung phone today, I logged only my Gmail account through wifi. I setup fingerprint but had to set up a pin and confirmed the pin. I subsequently added two fingers then switched off to charge.

When I got 100% I turned it on and it asked me for the pin for first logging after restart, to my bewilderment, my pin was wrong. This Pin that I typed twice and it is the same pin in this phone I am typing with.

Now, I don't know-how to enter recovery mode.

I am not sure I can sleep this night

You can simply reset your pin if you have a samsung account and it's linked to your phone

I only logged in my Google account and nothing else, it's a brand new phone with nothing inside, not even sim card.

It's a simple 4 digit PIN which I can't forget. It gets me angry thinking how I night have typed the wrong pin wrong twice in the same way

Guys, I am typing from the phone. I was able to wipe it using the recovery mode. I then used WiFi to log in to my Google account. Entering the recovery mode was a hassle.

I just wonder why they will not provide the Google option when you don't have the right password only to allow you after you have wiped the phone.

See as I dey enjoy typing, my Xiaomi screen had serious ghost touches that tormented my life and the Chinese AliExpress seem to have sent me a bad screen purposely. By the way, Samsung was my first choice, Xiaomi was.
