Secure Folder
Backed up my phone (Smart Switch & Samsung Cloud)
Updated to Android 12
Reset phone
Restore from backup
Then getting message above when I launch Secure Folder, I have no clue what password it is asking for.

I THINK that it should be your Samsung Account password?

It should be a different password than your Samsung account password. You can enter any random password, then tap on forgot pin/password then reset and log into your Samsung account and reset secure folder password/pin

I don't have an issue getting into my Secure Folder, it keeps asking me if I want to restore from Smart Switch backup

Yeah I'm not sure, because I'm pretty certain that I never set up a Smart Switch password for my backups to the external sd, but I have noticed that the last few backups, it's saying that they will be encrypted.. pretty sure that I never made any changes though?

I guess that you probably tried just not entering a password?

Don't think that it'd work though..

I never setup a password and you can't click on OK if the password field is blank
