Turn off timed lock out on S7

[assenavrp]

How can I turn off the timed lock out feature - ie when an incorrect fingerprint has been detected more than 3 times it will lock you out for 30 secs or longer depending on the number of attempts. My daughter will often use the camera on my lock screen and inadvertently pressed the home button. Sometimes when I get the phone back it says locked for 30mins which is really inconvenient. I would like to turn off this feature so there is no timed lock out.

Thanks.

Its a security feature which cannot be turned off

Thanks, Pugs1957. I was hopeful that wasn't the case. Do you know if you take off the fingerprint option if the lockout still applies?

Yes, afraid so.

Set the camera to turn on with 2 quick presses of the home button. It bypasses security.

Great option! Thanks, AxLmyk.

Yes, but that also means pressing the home button multiple times will not activate it.

Thanks for the reply. I have thrown my phone across the room twice because of this. It fails to detect my print and then makes me wait?! Unacceptable.
