I have forgotten the password I set to my secure folder. When I attept to enter a password to reset my password, there should be a tab to reset my password, but there is not. How do I gain access to my secure folder. I do not care about the current contents of the folder, but I do need to reset or recover my password access it.

This should be how you can reset the password for the Secure Folder:

If you have forgotten your Secure Folder password, you can reset it by confirming the Samsung Account you used to set it up.

  • 1. Open Secure Folder on your device.
  • 2. Click "FORGOT PASSWORD". 
  • 3. On the next screen, login with your Samsung Account. If you forgot your Samsung Account password, reset it here.
  • IIf you don't see the option for "Forgotten Password", Go to Settings > Apps > Search for for "Secure Folder" > Scroll down to Storage & Clear Both Cache & Data for Secure Folder > Reboot & Try again to Reset the password.

Please your advice!

it. doesn't show/work for any of the users.

How is it that event Samsung's own website (checked) offers a path/troubleshooting that does not even exist as a possibility.
Spent half an hour a few minutes ago with Samsung's support, and the dude had already received all the ways I've already tried only to receive same alternatives that didn't work.

What a bunch of BS.

I have the same problem. When I go to my secure folder it asks for my password. It does not say "FORGOT PASSWORD"
I attempt to enter my password and it says "try again in 60 minutes"

How do I reset my password?
