My phone updated overnight and this morning would not accept my screen lock PIN.  I tried many different things and even went to Verizon and Best Buy Geek Squad.  In the end I had to do a factory reset and lost everything.  Now all my screens are different and I wanted to see if there was a way to get back to my previous format.

You should be able to get everything back by restoring your backup.  Even if you don't have a Samsung backup, you have a Google one. I think Google only restores, though, if you click the option upon restarting your phone after the reset.  If you have a Samsung backup, go to accounts and backup and restore your last backup.  Which actually should have occurred right before the reset.

If you get locked out of your phone by password or pin, login to your Samsung account and reset your password.
