Hate to be a jerk, but how in the world are you all forgetting your password?

Thanks for this - I'd been trying a ton of different ways using the ADB, etc, none of which worked on the S5 as they (apparently) would have on my older phones. I'm not sure why the lock screen doesn't prompt to unlock with your google account password after X number or failed attempts like I've seen on all my other devices (or maybe that's only with the pattern? If so, that seems a bit short sighted...).Easy had that happen to me... Just go online to android device manager log in with your google log in wait till it locates your phone u then click to lock your device it asks you for a new password. It over rides whatever password or lock feature u have on it. Then you get phone type the new password and boom problem solved

Lazmeister, I had the same problem and realized if you swipe to hard it takes you to the home screen..gently swipe your finger across the middle of the home screen button to avoid this. This page should help you better... How do I Use the Fingerprint Scanner to Manage Passwords and Unlock my Samsung Galaxy S? 5? : US Cellular | SamsungHi, When I go into fingerprint manager it gives me the option of swiping my finger print again or putting the alternative password (of which there isn't one - I've tried my Google password and it doesn't work) - I can't see the 3 fingerprints I have saved in order to be able to delete them?
If I swipe my fingerprint it takes the screen back to the main screen.
I need to work out how to change that alternative password.
Thanks
