Galaxy s7 private mode

[Reaper86]

I forgot my pin for private mode, haven't used it in a while but now I need to open it to get something out and can't remember what the pin is. I can't reset the phone I need what is in it so that's not a option. I've tried alot now it's giving a timer each time I try. I've hooked it to my laptop to try to find the folder and it won't show up. Is there any way I can get by it or reset without resetting the phone? A program I can buy for my laptop to reset it or open it? Really need in that folder.

do you have an sd card? is this a file or picture that you need? the only way i think that you can do is use either Google's Find My Device or Samsung's Find My Mobile

Samsung:
https://findmymobile.samsung.com/ ......hopefully you have the phone signed into your samsung account.

Google:
https://www.google.com/android/find?u=0

other than that, the only way is to factory reset the device.

Pictures, screen shots. Find my device didn't work, it only unlocked the phone pin not private folder.

ahhhh it is for the secure folder. i think if you enter the wrong pin a few times, it should give you an option of "forgot password" and then another option to reset pin. this will then take you to enter your google account info and then you can change the pin......at least that is how it is setup on my z fold 3. not sure on an older device such as your s7.

Not secure folder, I never used that it's never been set up. It's private mode from pull down bar. There's no option to reset, if you keep trying it starts to give a timer. I can't try again for a hour.

private mode.....sorry never used it and everything that i saw on the net suggests a factory reset.
