How can I unlock my Galaxy A8 without resetting to factory settings?

[AC Question]

I have a Samsung Galaxy A8. I got locked out of it. The fingerprint is not working and I forgot my backup password unfortunately. Android device manager is not working because I turned off wifi and mobile data and the phone is locked with no internet. Please help and merry Christmas!

Unfortunately there is no other option

Software might be available to crack it online. Illegal, of course. But hey, its your choice

actually that is the only way for you to recover your phone. but if you happen to sync your files on the associated email account you can still retrieve your files
