Welcome to Android Central! Have you tried changing the screen lock to something else first (like pattern or PIN), then going back to the fingerprint scanner, so that it goes through the whole setup process again?

Do you mean that you were able to change to a pattern lock, then changed back to fingerprint, and the scanner still doesn't work? Did you also mean that you did a full factory reset?

I assume that's yes to both questions. The scanner might be faulty. Bring it back to the store and ask for a replacement. If they can't replace it, then contact Samsung for warranty service.

I deleted your multiple posts where you simply re-quoted your initial post. Not sure if that was a glitch, but if you were doing it intentionally, please don't--community guidelines ask that you limit "bumping" a post to once a day. Thanks for understanding!
