Enable to reset secure folder password

[GabbarOp]

Some time ago I had setup secure folder on my phone.

Now I forgot what pin I had set.

On entering wrong pin I should get a forgot pin link but I am not getting any option as such. Let me know if there is any other way around this problem.

Clear app cache and then try login, it should provide link to reset password

I myself faced this issue and my secure folder was locked out after numerous attempts and with below steps, I was able to resolve the issue.

1) Install APK Analyzer from playstore
2)open apk analyzer, Search for the app "Secure Folder" and click on it
3) Now goto the option called "activities" and select the activity "com.samsung.knox.securefolder.keyguard.KnoxKeyguardSamsungAccountBridge"
4)click on the play button on the right side and it will ask you to enter samsung account credentials
5) Post entering the credentials you will be taken to secure folder lock type settings
6) You can change your lock type and PIN/Password or Pattern from this page
7) Also make sure to enable the option "Reset with Samsung account" at the bottom.
8)Now open the secure folder app and you should see a forgot password option available now
