Question

How can I reset my Secure Folder 3P(PIN, Pattern, Password)? / I can't see reset menu on the Secure Folder

 

Answer

When you enter the PIN or Pattern on the login screen in Secure Folder incorrectly, Forgot PIN or Forgot Pattern menu will appear at the bottom of the screen. Depending on what lock type you have set, the device will ask if you forgot the PIN or Pattern.

So, you can reset the PIN or Pattern through the menu. (required to sign in with Samsung account)

 

The Forgot PIN or Forgot Pattern menu will be shown only if the 'Reset with Samsung account' option(Default : Off) is enabled when creating the Secure Folder). However, if the 'Reset with Samsung account' option(Default : Off) is turned Off, the menu will not appear.

 

In this case, if you try to enter PIN or Pattern incorrectly 14 times(Android U OS, 20 times for T OS and earlier version), there will be Uninstall Secure Folder menu on the login screen, and you can uninstall and reinstall the Secure Folder.
