Galaxy S3 Face Unlock Disabling Pin Code?

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi all, first of all would like to say Hello. I'm a veteran O2 customer being with them for 10+ years but this is my first time on the forum.

 

I upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S3 about a week ago, from an iPhone 4S (I didn't like the stretched look of the iPhone 5 but that's a whole new debate there!)

 

Basically I have an issue which is really annoying me, I have enabled Face unlock. Quite a cool feature and also have the backup code if anyone else (my partner) want to use the phone. However I would like to "re take" the photo for face unlock as I believe I need to be in a slightly less lit room as it sometimes has difficulty when I'm outside unlocking. 

 

I have gone into Settings>Security>Screen Lock and am greeted with a screen that says "Confirm Pin" I type my unlock code in and it says "Sorry, try again" 

 

I can't for the life of me think what this code could be as I know the unlock code for the phone and believe it to be that. I have not entered any other code for the handset.

 

I have tried 20 maybe 30 times to try this and have also tried several codes that I often use for other things thinking I may have entered something wrong.

 

I have also searched google for hours trying to find anyone else with the same problem and it seems that it is only me with the issue!

 

Please help

Yes very good idea, I did see the option there but when I tried to get access to it I was greeted again with the screen to "enter pin code" and again no code I attempted to enter would work.

 

At the moment I have no security on the device however I now have Kaspersky with remote wipe enabled and dropbox is passcode protected! Where I keep all my company work. 

 

Thanks for all the help guys.
