Tab S3 - Password not working [Solved]

[unclefunbuckets]

Has anyone had a problem where their password doesn't unlock their tablet any more? It keeps going back to the main screen and not letting me in.

I can't even restart it because that asks for the password as well.

This just started happening today. I wanted to download some things to watch on my trip coming up for the plane. I'll be ticked off if I can't get in.

Got it. Hit the power button + volume down button and it will restart. Now the password works.

Thanks for the solution. I'm marking it solved in case someone is searching for a solution.
