Team, I have forgotten my PIN and have tried multiple times without any luck. I only have 4 more attempts before factory reset will be done by default and I want to avoid this and do not want to lose my data.
Please can anyone share steps to bypass this PIN entry. Samsung find my mobile is also not able to track and unlock my phone since it is not connected to the network.

many thankx~
have you tried a hard reset ?
Hard reset does not help in this situation
Hard reset,
hard reset should work, otherwise you can reflash rom.
Hard reset, not work - TESTED!
Still serching solution!
try using various operator sims
it sounds to me like the phone u were sent is locked to a certain operator
I try three different operators - the same thing!
I think the phone is locked to the card not to operator.
I know the first owner of the phone, but he can't remember the phone code.
I try ROM update and the factory reset - nothing!
The only way I can unlock the phone is to use the Programs application from the original WM5 - "Phone Lock" but the default "00000000" don't work.
If any idea - pls share, I'll try everything!
Thanks

i have the same problem have you solved yet yours?
same problem. someone please help
I was recently playing with some of the Samsung Galaxy Secret Codes and appear to have entered one that locked my SIM (see attached screenshot). The phone still works, but I have to enter the unlock pin every time I reboot the phone. I've searched all over and tried many different things (including the *#0011# menu) and nothing seems to work. Recently did a factory reset and took it into the Sprint store to reflash the software and still getting the message. Is there a code I can enter to get to an unlock screen? Please advise.
you have just set PIN on your sim , you can always disable it, i believe the option is in settings - security - sim lock. btw it is always wise to use a PIN unless you forget it!! plus this related to your service provider and flashing and resetting the cell won't work , if the sim is locked by a PIN it will always ask for it even when you put it in a different cell.
Yeah, its a security implemented on the SIM card not on your phone.

I have not found an option anywhere in the phone to disable the SIM lock. Please advise.
Hi everybody,
I have got a couple of S4 mini, which are encrypted and saved via a 4 digit PIN.
Three of these devices had the problem, that they can´t remember the correct PIN to decrypt the device after a power down.
So I had to wipe all three devices and installed them again.
Anybody heared something about this problem? Is anybody knowing a specal reason for this behaviour?
Thanks in advice
Temporer
It's not a password problem if it was it would say invalid ID or password. It goes through the process of signing in then it says Process failed.
findmymobile.samsung.com is able to RING MY DEVICE but I an unable to get past "This phone has been locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to the Samsung account that was previously used on this phone." Is there any hope for this phone? Knox is tripped because the phone had previously been rooted.
problem solved
I Odin back to 5.0.1-N910VVRU2BPA1 and was able to sign in to remove Reactivation lock then I upgraded to 6.0.1-N910VVRU2CQF2. The ROMs I use came from SamMobile
How did u upgrade and does this remove reactivation lock?
I have tried flashing rom marshmallow but I can't still remove reactivation lock but am able to login using my credentials. ..if I upgrade through OTA Will I be able to remove d reactivation lock my phone is note 4 910h
Reactivation lock, need samsung account - solved
I ran into this "This phone is locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to he Samsung account that was previously used on this phone to confirm that it belongs to you." error and found that on putting bad username/credentials in 5x in a row, Samsung mailed a password reset message to the google account initially used when the phone was new (there never was a "samsung" account). In our case it was a forgotten seldom-used years old email, but the message forwarded to the current address, the password was changed and we were on our way.
The stupidest thing was I did a Samsung tech support call, dropped the phone off at their factory service center to have this fixed, had them return it as not fixable, and they never mentioned this rather simple solutions. Works fine if the phone is really yours or you can contact it's original owner.
Then I decided to update marshmallow and ran into the next problem and now it's busted again .... oh well.
So, i bought this samsung phone sm-a520f/ds. It worked smoothly on marshmellow until the nougat ota arrived... So I did a factory reset as many stated that would fix the issues I was having with the new android version.
Now I am unable to connect to any wifi AP and I get the following message on screen after selecting my language:
"unable to connect to wifi due to unauthorized factory reset"
I have access to my google account which I was using on this device, but due to being unable to connect to the network, it is impossible to reach the login screen.
Any idea or solution will be appreciated !!
PD: I was planning on flashing marshmellow with odin, but i have no idea if that would make things worse... or if it will help me with this problem...
I ran into the same problem with same phone.
Did you find any method to bypass that lock?
Please help me with this
I suggest reflashing marshmallow. It should ask you for your google account details.
