rrabago Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

I added a few more fingerprints, was distracted and ignored the password. Then was too busy with new finger scan bypass that then popped up each time I wanted to access my phone, so I did a restart, thinking that would clear it. Only to find out that my Samsung Note 4 would not read any fingerprints and had locked itself, aaaaaaaarrrrrrggghhh!

I came across your post. Went to the Samsung Find My Mobile and on the off chance entered my main email address, reset password. Then I was in. In 1 click I was able to unlock.

I was fortunate that 16 months ago when I purchased the device I went to the trouble of setting up the account. I have no recollection having done so, nor paper record of it. But 'past tense me' was on to it

I was not looking forward to a hard factory reset. Although I had only days earlier backed up my photos and vids.
