How unlock Samsung Galaxy S6 if the fingerprint sensor fails

Answer 1

The fingerprint sensor has been one of the best features that have equipped next-generation terminals and high-end manufacturers. Samsung has been one of them and was from the Samsung Galaxy S5 when already implemented this sensor.

While normally the fingerprint sensor works well, there are some times that for whatever reason we do not put the traces properly. Today we'll show you how to unlock the Samsung Galaxy S6 if the fingerprint sensor fails.

The Samsung terminals can be configured to unlock screen is made through the fingerprint sensor but sometimes we can not, because they do not recognize us or because someone catches us and try to unlock the terminal with its footprint.

Unlocking methods without fingerprint

At this point we find that the terminal is no longer supported by further attempts to unlock footprint. As much as I turn off and turn on will not let you unlock it with your mark though is correct.

This series of attempts end but not the end of the world, there are two different ways to unlock our terminal bypassing Samsung footprint, they are through alternative password and through Google account.

- Method 1: password option.

Once attempts to put your mark agotes, you will get a screen where you have to put the alternative password, a password should be created earlier in case you fail footprint.

Normally this would be enough to just putting that password previously created and smoothly you could unlock your phone and the next and you could use the mark again.

You can use this method also if you would not use the mark such as the Samsung Galaxy S6 leaves you this option from your lock screen.

Answer 2

- Method 2: Google account.

If for whatever reason you have not created that password from the corresponding option in the Settings menu, you have the latter option to unlock your phone. This option will not work if you only footprint and whether alternative or write the password you do not.

If you have a password and repeatedly misspell or do not have it at that time, you will jump the screen to unlock your phone with your Google account. You just agree with her and the terminal will remain open.

Targeting these two methods work with the following terminals: Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge Samsung Galaxy, Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and Samsung Galaxy S5.

UPDATE: We have been investigating to find out if there is any method more if they fail the previous three and as a last option could prove Find My Samsung Mobile, a service that could allow the phone to retrieve information before making a future formatting.

However, to use Find My Mobile should have been registered the phone and create an account on the service. If it still does not work, we do not know more than possible alternatives formatting with all that that entails.
