[Android Central Question]

Hello.

My old mobile was broken for a year, I finally paid for it and fixed it but it seems I forgot the password I used on it...

It's a Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe ( ZS570KL )

It should be unlocked by my Fingerprint but it seems because I input the wrong pattern for 5 time, the fingerprint no longer works either...

Is there anyway to bypass this lock ? I fixed this phone becouse I need my data... so I do not want to do Factory Reset !

The mobile is connected to my Gmail Account, I have the account. the FingerPrint is also on my finger, but it wont work atm.

will waiting for a day or something let it go back to accepting my fingerprint ? or is it fully locked and only work by pattern ?

Even turning it off and on right now still 1 wrong pattern ask me to wait 30 second, i tried it more and it become 60 second... It seems I really can't remember the pattern...

Thanks.

Welcome to Android Central! Pattern/PIN/password would always be the backup (and in fact, all devices that uses fingerprint will ask for the pattern/PIN/password periodically for increased security, especially upon startup). So if you can't remember your pattern, then you're out of luck.

Sorry, but we don't allow discussions about trying to bypass security. Even if there's a legitimate reason, that information could be used by others for more nefarious purposes. Thread closed.
