Hi Peanut_anya! There are two ways you can reset your secure folder passcode. 🔐

Reset Passcode using 'Forgot Pattern'

Please note: The Reset with Samsung Account setting MUST be enabled prior to following these steps.

  1. Launch Secure Folder and incorrectly enter the passcode. Forgot pattern will appear at the bottom of the screen.
  2. Tap on Forgot pattern > Reset. You will be redirected to sign into your Samsung Account.
  3. Once you have signed in, you will then be able to set a new PIN, pattern, or password, and finally log back into Secure Folder.

Changing the Passcode via Secure Folder settings

  1. Launch your Secure Folder and enter in your lock type.
  2. Tap on the 3 dots and select Settings.
  3. Select Lock type then re-enter your current Secure Folder PIN, pattern, or password.
  4. Once you have entered your lock type, you can then change your Secure Folder Passcode.

Good luck and do let me know how it goes! 🤗

The way you uninstall it is to Sign Out of your Samsung Account. Onced signed out you are unable to uninstall and create a new password.
