I donโ€™t remember my password because I always log in with my fingerprint, and now it needs to be reset.

Sorry to say this but if you've forgotten your Password to unlock your phone the only option is to do a Factory reset and sign back in with the original Google and Samsung Accounts.

 

To factory reset a locked Samsung S25, you must use the physical buttons to enter Recovery Mode: force restart by holding Power + Volume Down, then immediately switch to holding Power + Volume Up until the Android Recovery screen appears, then select "Wipe data/factory reset" and confirm to erase everything, knowing you'll need the associated Google account after the reset.

Step 1 - Was to hold the Power and Volume down button to force shutdown the phone.

Step 2 - Hold the Volume up and Power button down to enter the Recovery Menu.

As i mentioned in the first post.

That's not how the Foldable of S line works if your locked out of your phone you have have to force shut it down first with Power and Volume Down.  Then you can hold the Volume up and Power buttons to turn it on into Recovery.

OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH... RRIIIIIGHTTTTTTT!!!!!! Yeah sorry bout my dumbahh to fail at such a key point of detail. I only force shut down my phone when an app crashes my phone to absolute rotisserie chicken. If I forget my password, I just get it wrong until two things, 1, my phone decides to let me enter an old password, 2, the factory reset button shows up. Sorry, my bad. (This be the end comment here plz.)
