Help If I enter my phone pattern incorrectly again it will factory reset.

[Jack Tillotson]

I entered my password too many times and if I enter it again it will factory reset. I have a Galaxy Edge S1. What do I do?

I take it you don't have anything backed up? What version of Android is on it? If your phone is connected to a Google account or Samsung Account both have "find my phone" services that could reset your lock remotely.

See this article.

Just to warn you that these are not absolute guaranteed to work and you could end up factory resetting your phone if they don't work. Still, you're kind at the end of your rope now. Whatever you do, DON'T use any kind of unlocking service for $$$. They are either scams or flat out just won't work.

I'm afraid that Google's Find My Device will only set a new lock password/PIN if one isn't set already. It won't change an existing one, even if the description implies it will. I don't know whether it will replace a pattern with a PIN or password as I've not used a pattern for years. I guess if you try and it asks for a pattern you know that it hasn't worked.

use twrp to back it up the phone and get your files back but somephones if .androidsecure is in the storage using CWM will not nuke/wipe the phone storage but note if doing
REMOVE YOUR SIMCARD.AND MEMORYCARD

What happened with your password? Who set that password?

You can't assume every phone is rooted with custom recovery. And if it's not, trying to root and flash will most certainly reset the phone which is what the OP is trying to avoid.
