If a valid fingerprint to unlock is not available, there are three ways to bypass the lock. However, you will only be really successful if you are actually the owner of the smartphone. If you enter the code incorrectly several times, three options will appear below.

• In addition to the emergency call, you can open the locked smartphone with your previously selected PIN. If you select the "Unlock with Google" option, you can log in with your Google account and thus get access to the Galaxy S6 again.
