To start up your device, enter your password

[BozQ]

I need help, please!

My Note 7 started shutting down on its own. Now whenever I boot the device, it tells me "To start up your device, enter your password."

Problem is, I don't know which password it's referring to.

I don't flash any ROMs or root. Just stock Samsung stuff.

All Samsung phones ask u for a password or pattern when you restart. It is referring to tge one you created at the time of setting up your finger print

The thing is, I never created a password! I have always left it as swipe to unlock. I use the LED cover case, so it unlocks as soon as I open the case.

Oh great. After trying several passwords, it tells me to restart the device and now it goes into restarts over and over at the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 logo. I don't see the password screen anymore.

Apparently it's a bug. Been reported a lot.

Thanks.

My device just went crazy. But it miraculously allowed me to get back into Android as usual. Needless to say, backed up everything. And now it's back to crazy.

Now to decide whether to bring it to Samsung now or wait for the Note 7 exchange.

This issue is somehow related to the boot loop issue that is being experienced by some. And me. One of my Note7 is showing this prompt once in a while when it gets into boot loop. Then when I key in the Android unlock PIN, it says its wrong. What I am doing now if I encounter this prompt is to hard reset (Power + Vol Down buttons) the unit.

i had this issue during set up.. i just swapped out my sim card with my old one and it worked lol. haven't had this happen after set up though. factory reset?

 

[BozQ]

My unit is completely busted. Samsung actually suggested I bring it for the recall exchange instead of repairing it.

So currently, they've loaned me a Galaxy S6 to tide me over.

Now I wonder, even when I get my replacement Note 7, the phone is still susceptible to the boot loop issue, right? This don't seem to be related to the faulty battery at all.

I emergency reinstalled custom ROM through SMART SWITCH, and rooted my phone, added TWRP and installed SuperMan ROM, In the time I did this I never applied a single password/code/pin/fingerprint. Now when I turn on the phone, it comes up with "To start up your device, enter password", I still have gone through and tried every password I could think of and not a single one worked. Now I can't use my phone at all. please help.

Same here, I also am getting the "dm-verity verification failed/need to check drk first" error... My device (SM-N930FD) was neither flashed with custom ROM nor rooted... Suspecting the issue lies in the N930FXXU1BPH6 firmware...

This is a complete brick error. You cannot fix it not even a service centre can. I have spent serious hours trying since about 10 days ago it is not worth the hassle trust me. You'll just have to wait for your replacement

Try "default_password". I tried it on my S7 and it worked!

I agree... I tried it myself for much time and have hence given it up. Currently revert back to my old phone while waiting for the replacement...

It does not work for Note 7...

That password did not work on Note 7. Anyway, my Note 7 is completely bricked. Waiting for Sunday for an exchange.

Oh sorry lads, well good luck anyways.

I'm now encountering the same problem after installing the system upgrade of 60% max charging for my note 7. My phone is instructing me to enter a password but I never installed any password whatsoever from the start. These Note 7s are giving us too much problems and inconvinience!

Go have it exchanged.
I asked Samsung and they said it's a "firmware issue".
Unbelievably, they couldn't recover my data inside. Luckily I made frequent backups in the cloud.

I love the Note 7, but I think this might very well be the last non-removable battery phone I'll ever get.
