Draw Password Pattern

[Totaly Pavlina]

Ihave a S8 (bought new) for long time, and today, sundely Pattern lock stop working always says "Incorrect Patter Draw". I'm pretty sure I'm doing it correctly, as it is the same I have on other device. Consider this:

Well, actually @CarlH was correct, although he did not explain completely. But let me go a step back, before giving the conclusion.

After having the pattern not working for 2 days, Finger Print also stopped working, but this time I believe it was security protection that forces you to use your main security option after few usages of other options. At this time I've become completely locked, what to do?

Well, Samsung Account, you are able not only to unlock your phone but ALSO to remove all security protections, making your phone usable by anyone that picks it up. This was actually my solution, but it still had a momentary drawback, as I was completely unable to set any new option to lock the phone (Pin, Pattern, FingerPrint, etc). After 1-2 days and a restart, I could restore my pattern+fingerprint solution working!

But, as soon Ill have to restart it (be that an update or a battert run out), I'l became locked, as it patten unlock at boot is configured! Besisdes, daily I'll have to pickup phone to swipe finger on sendor, and not directy on display as I used to do.

And the thing is... I cant change anything, as any change on this area will require a patern unlock first!!

I have been using the lock screen pattern for a little over a year now and I always remembered it so it was no biggie. Today, literally out of nowhere, my phone asks me to enter a password. I have no idea why it asked me this, so I tried entering a variety of passwords. All it does is lock the phone for 30 seconds before I can try entering another password once I've had too many tries.

I have no idea what password it wants from me, I only have so many and I tried all of them. It says: "Use password after restart (before I restarted it said Use password to unlock screen), Your password contains at least 4 characters, including at least 1 letter." What password?! See, that's why I hate installing updates, this is just bull*****. I also tried to unlock my phone using Find My Phone and it does not work as it is not connected to the network (I tried restarting it before and I guess that screwed me now). I honestly don't even know if a factory reset would work at this stage, since it does not show any notifications either (apart from: Phone restarted, Unlock your phone to get app notifications).

Did anyone run into the same problem as I did and find a solution? I honestly don't want to try a factory reset (and I don't really think it's gonna work anyway since it's not showing any incoming notifications, either and I can't let my phone ring using Find My Phone).

I got the same issue. I was using the same password for years and never forget it in my life. Also, my password is not 4 characters and one letter. I'm sure, it's Samsung issue.

One important thing is-----I haven't installed the latest update of Samsung for over a month even though the notification keeps showing continuously. If you too ignored the Samsung latest update then we can 100% confirm that it is Samsung issue.

It would be great if a person from Samsung replies here

I see this as quite a big issue and don't understand why Samsung would not fix this after many months. This is my first Samsung and i am starting to regret buying it. I was trying to find a way to report the problem, but i can only chat with a robot or call support where they just tell me to use FindMyMobile.

Found the problem. When I first tried to set up my email or my outlook app on my S22. It kept asking me to set up a new password. I finally figured this out and it took me to settings and I just used the same password again for my outlook email password.

Today all of a sudden my phone locks me out and is asking for a password. I had no idea what password it wanted, then I read something about a password set up in settings and I remembered I set up a password in settings for my outlook email, I tried that password and my phone immediately unlocked and functioned normally again.

Kevin B - thank you for the above. I set up Outlook email on my new S22 ultra this week so will bear it in mind when mine next locks up. I've had this problem since I used a train charge socket last November (irrelevant but it never happened to me prior to then). I had a galaxy S10 then. Now got a new S22 ultra and sim but it still continually locks me out, won't recognise any password, and a relative has to re-set the password for me remotely. Ridiculous situation. Are Samsung looking at this?

I just set up Pattern to unlock my Galaxy S21. I wanted to switch it back to Pin. However, when I go to Screen lock type it asks me for the current pattern. It doesn't accept what I believe I did set up. What do I do from here?

I had to run down the battery on the phone which took like 2 days since I couldn't actually use the phone (I did put on the LED light, though) and I just charged it to 100%. Then when I started the phone I could go into the basic settings to do a factory reset.

It's a bit of a pain because it takes so long with backing up the phone and restoring it and while the apps get installed you have to log in (if you remember the password), setup all your email accounts again, etc. etc. But I got it back.

Thanks for the quick response. Fortunately, I kept the screen on as otherwise I would have to put in the pattern to unlock to phone and do a backup. The backup just finished now. I tried to do a factory reset by going to Settings->General management->Reset->Factory data reset but it asks me for the pattern. I am factory resetting it because the pattern doesn't work!!! So how do I get out of this? Btw, now it will probably lock up in 10 minutes and then of course I can't get into the phone because the pattern doesn't work.

Forgetting the PIN, pattern, or password to your Samsung Galaxy device can be a stressful experience, locking you out of your personal data and disconnecting you from your digital world. But don't worry, even if your memory fails you, technology has your back. This guide outlines several strategies you can employ to regain access to your Galaxy device. Whether you've set up Smart Lock options in advance, need to perform a factory reset, or require the help of a Samsung Service Centre, there are solutions available. However, it's essential to understand that some of these methods may result in the loss of data, so precautionary measures like regular backups are always recommended.

The Smart Lock feature on Galaxy devices offers a convenient way to bypass your PIN, pattern, or password under certain conditions. These include on-body detection (keeping the phone unlocked while it's on you), establishing a trusted location (like your home or office), or connecting with a trusted Bluetooth device (such as your car's system or a wearable).

It's important to note that Smart Lock must be set up while you have access to your device, as it cannot be enabled after you've forgotten your access credentials. If Smart Lock was activated prior to forgetting your PIN, pattern, or password, your phone can automatically unlock when one of the predefined conditions is met. For instance, if you've designated your home as a trusted location, your device will recognize when you're at this location and unlock itself automatically.

If you're unable to unlock your phone or tablet, a factory reset through Google's Find My Device can be a last resort. It's important to understand that a factory reset will erase all your personal data, including downloaded apps, and this data cannot be recovered. Ensure you know the Google account information initially used to set up your device, and that Find My Device is enabled on it.

Note that the service centres are not equipped to unlock devices without deleting all user data due to security and privacy protocols. Therefore, a factory reset is the standard procedure for regaining access to your device.

Draw Password is a new way to ensure that passwords are more secure and difficult to guess. This innovative method aims to help users protect their information while being fun to use.

Draw Password is based on a system used to unlock smartphones, called tracing-based authentication. Instead of entering a standard password, users will draw an 8-pointed star shaped pattern which is then converted into a string of characters.

What Makes Draw Password Unique?

Draw Password Security is an innovative form of two-factor authentication that takes security to the next level. While regular passwords are easily forgotten or guessed, Draw Password Security is a much more secure way of authentication that requires users to draw pre-defined shapes on their device. Here are some benefits of Draw Password Security:

Draw Password Security is an easy, secure, and adaptable way to protect your cybersecurity. With its intuitive interface and extra layer of protection, you can be sure your account is safe and secure.
