How Can I Reset A Galaxy S6 Backup Password Without Resetting?

[AC Question]

Resetting Galaxy S6 Backup Password Without Resetting

I got a new phone and set fingerprint password. It didn't really work so I got rid of it and just used a PIN. Now that I got my scanner fixed I want to use it again but it needs the backup password which I don't have. I tried scanning my finger and it didn't work. It will not let me scan again and is asking for the backup password for it to be able to open. I am not locked out of my phone rather I just need the backup password to change some settings. I would like to know if there is a way to reset the backup password without resetting my phone and keep in mind I am not locked out and still have full access just not the backup password? Thanks.

Everyone keeps saying "Go to device manager". I signed in on my laptop. I'm STILL confused on what I do from there. Where am I supposed to go to reset backup password. My phone works fine. However, finger print sensor stopped working, so I removed the finger print option. Therefore, there is no "fingerprint app" in my application manager. I cannot click on "lock options" because it asks for a backup password. I'd like to reset it, so I can use the fingerprint again, or at least use my pin. I wish people would give step by step instructions on these things. Just saying "Go to this site..." does help. Go there and then do what exactly???
