    After using the fingerprint feature to unlock my S5, I was prompted for my alternate password when syncing email. I don't remember what it is? Is there a way to reset it?

    You have two options:

    Delete all fingerprints (by going into settings & long pressing on the finger print, selecting remove) and recreate them. This will also clear you alternate password.

    Go to Android Device Manager, and setup the remote lock & erase feature if you haven't already. Once setup use the lock feature to reset your password. It will allow you to change your "screen-unlock" password.

    WOW!!! I have been going absolutely crazy trying to find a way to change my alternative passwordon my new Samsung Galaxy s5.: But finally after many hours I found your answer and put it into action. The one where you erase fingerprints which also erases the old alternative password. THANK YOU for saving the day!!

    Assistir apenas o que você precisa fazer é ir para definições e, em seguida, varredura da faixa e quando você estiver lá, conseguirão vestÃ*gios e quando você aparesca pegada tem que passar o mesmo dedo que, quando você quer desbloquear e então você vê a impressão digital 1, você chegar aonde esta coisa 3 pontos bem no topo dar em Excluir registro e terminar lá.

    Yo tb tengo problemas para registrar la huella digital, ya que al pulsar en "Admistrador de huella digital" me aparece mensaje de "No se puede reconocer" sin siquiera dejarme intentarlo.

    Al pulsar "Ayuda" o "Aceptar" vuelve a aparecerme el mismo mensaje.

    Ya probé borrando la huella a través de "Find my mobile" y apagando el móvil pero sigue sin poderse realizar
