factory reset your phone thru recovery mode, i suggest use strong password instead, don't rely with 4 digits of code

I recently updated my Galaxy S25 Ultra to One UI 7, and now my phone does not recognize my correct pattern. I can't unlock it. F Sumsung!

It is entirely possible that your PIN IS still working. The Android update to One UI 7.0 now requires a 6 digit pin for not hitting OK, if your PIN is still 4 digits, type it in then press OK, this should let you unlock your device.

When did this happen? I have a 4 digit pin, but suddenly I cannot even enter it because after typing in 4 digits, the OK button is still greyed out.

I've been asking this everywhere, but you are the first one to say that there actually was a recent change to a required 6 digit pin. Your suggestion would be great, if I actually could hit OK after putting in the pin.

i don't suppose 4-digit pins are auto-converted to 6 digits with two leading or trailing zeroes, or some such. Any chance of that?

I have been going through the same issue and my device has been locked for a week now, it asks to enter a 6 digit PIN when my original PIN was 4 digits, were you able to get this resolved without factory reset?

Tengo una tablet s9 plus y me pasó lo mismo, aunque ingreso el pin de 4 dígitos este no me deja colocar el botón "Aceptar", en cambio si coloco 6 dígitos me deja colocar"Aceptar".

No tengo como desbloquear la tablet y ahora tendré que formatear, alguien sabe algún truco?

Creo que todos estamos en la misma posición posterior a la actualización y no hay forma de arreglarlo, la única recomendación que me dan es resetear la tablet y es lo que no quiero tengo mucha información relevante. Lamentable que los usuarios tengamos que pasar por este problema confiando en la marca Samsung dentro de las mejores del mercado.

Espero den una solución a esto o terminarán perdiendo muchos fan de la marca

Same issue. This is a big problem and a significant waste of time. The password is not accepted as the enter button is greyed out. I'm about to reset it, but this is a very serious issue. We all have better things to do.

Did you find a solution to this?

This is a frankly unacceptable response.

I shouldn't have to factory reset my phone after a software reset.

my wife had this problem today after updating her s24. stress and stresses later and a refusal to factory reset i was reading some of these comments aloud to her. comments about 4 digit pins becoming 6 digit pins made her think about some previous passkeys used on laptops and PCs. even though her phones were only secured with biometrics and 4 digit pins (which had become unrecognized since the update) and had never been set up or secured with a 6 digit pin, she tried a 6 digit passkey that had been used on a laptop. it worked! how it happened or why are unknown but apparently after the update the phone adopted a 6 digit passkey from another device. maybe via some shared account between the two.
