Locked due to too many unlock attempts after update

[altoussa]

My S22 Ultra updated to latest version with One UI 6.1. Since then it says 'Too many incorrect unlock attempts' and it makes me wait before I can do anything with the phone. The first time it made me wait 11 minutes and the second time 24 hours.

After waiting 24 hours I can start the phone in Safemode then it stuck in "Phone is starting" and again I am locked for another 24 hours. what is the problem?

since two days the phone was rebooting from it self after the last update but now I am blocked

What you don't want to do is keep entering the wrong password. Do it 15 times in a row, and you brick your phone, making it unusable forever.  You should try doing a factory reset, and restoring a backup.  The backup installs without any security, so you will be able to set your password/pin/biometrics again.

Hey there! I can certainly understand needing to be able to get into your phone, and it keeps locking you out. I would suggest taking it to a certified technician and doing a software reflash!
