I have gone through the Android Device Manager to "lock my screen" and essentially unlock my phone. However, my "lock screen type" in the lock & security settings is set to pin. I don't know how this happened as is always been set to use my fingerprint. Regardless, I don't know the pin combination in order to change the lock screen type. I have used every number combination I can think of and none work.
I have tried to enter the incorrect pin at least 50 times from the home lock screen, but I can't even get the "unlock via Google" option to pop up. And, while I'm essentially able to unlock my phone, I have set it to the maximum inactivity lock out time of 1 hour. But, I don't want to carry my tablet around everywhere in order to be able to unlock it from the Android Device Manager site.
So, since I've tried everything I can think of, is there something that I'm not thinking of in order to reset my pin? I'm really at my wits end. Thank you!
