after i update my mobile samsung s 7 edge it’s start to startup security log in page says your phone encrypted for security reason enter password to open you have 5 attempt to factory rest i have a lot of data on my phone i do not want to lose please help i do not even remember to setup a startup security before what to do
I find it very strange that an update encrypted your phone. I know the feature exists but you have to manually set it up. Your phone is encrypted by default. This is an extra layer that prevents Android from booting untill set password has been put in. You can try your unlock code/password/pattern.
SOLUTION if you have setup a pattern pin lock you have to convert the pattern to numbers. So if you drew a Z in a 3x3 area from top to bottom the password would be 1235789. Hope this makes sense and helps someone. Worked for me.
