Thanks for advice but I have tried those methods and it still does not work. It just says try again in 32 minutes

If a Samsung, this article talks about recovering a device in this state, @Hamlin76: https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/other-smartphones/screen-unlock/td-p/177170

In case it offers any other nugget that helps...

Also check your screen touch sensor is calibrated, in case that is interfering.

Good luck.

Thanks for your help. I had a look and I do not even get the option to sign in via google or back up PIN. It is a Samsung S10. I will keep looking

If a S10 then go to your Google account on a PC

Go to Find My Device

Click on unlock screen

Then reset the security on the mobile
