Why i am having only 3 attempts before the device is reset?

AC Question

Hello

since a week now i started having this message on my phone whenever i attempt to unlock my phone whether by fingerprint or pin( An attempt to unlock the device has been made. You have 3 attempts left before the device is reset to factory default settings and all data is erased, including files and downloads apps). I never had this message before, i own Samsung galaxy S7. i tried to turn on the Auto factory reset (at least it gives me 15 attempts) but with no luck. Please advise.

Thank you.
