Original post translated to english from German:

I entered fingerprint recognition with my new phone. When upgrading the phone requires a password now. But I have forgotten. What can I do?

On some phones, if you enter the unlock PIN incorrectly too many times, it will prompt for your Google account and password to then unlock.

Welcome to Android Central! Whenever you set up fingerprint lock, you always have to create a backup password/PIN, and in fact the phone will ask for it periodically for extra security. You don't remember creating this password?
