galaxy s5 locked

my galaxy s5 is locked , it is showing now alternative password option only, no figer print option...., i am not remembering alternative password bcause i am using only finger print.. how can i unlock my phone , can you help me please?
 
The android device manager is giving me a message saying that there is already a lock in place so I wont need my new password.
I really want to take it off the fingerprint:mad: lock screen!!! Please help!
 
If i'm right, when you can't login with fingerprint, alter. password, you can also unlock your phone by using your Google account..
 
I had this same issue a couple of weeks ago while helping someone activate a SIM card for a tablet. Switching the SIM cards caused my phone to require Alt password and not allowing me to use fingerprint. I couldn't get it to accept any passwords, Google Device Manager didn't work, Samsung Find My Mobile didn't work, and AVG Anti Theft didn't work. I had to do a factory reset. Sorry....
