My Samsung A10 suddenly asks for a password

[Android Central Question]

No matter what I press it asks for a password. The screen displays "Enter password", next to it is "Your password contains at least 4 characters, including at least 1 letter” and next is “Emergency Call”. I had removed my two sim cards then turned it on. As usual it displays the time and date. When I swipe, the same process is again displayed asking for a password. What I noticed is that notifications are still coming in. Is my phone hacked?

Try going to Samsung website and enter your account information to remotely unlock your device, this will work only if you sign into your Samsung account in the phone , if not factory reset in recovery.

Your phone is not hacked. Quite the reverse, it is a security measure that Samsung's have where you are periodically asked for your password so you had better remember it. Surprised you have not seen this before. Is this your phone?

Welcome to Android Central! You've already tried entering the password you created for the lockscreen? How were you unlocking the phone before this?

Welcome.

Exactly how did that happen, and what is the connection to forgetting your password?
