Hard reset your phone or use Samsung's Find My Mobile if you have registered with the Samsung website. For the alternate password, try her birthday. Try all important dates in your life along with your ATM pin code. One of those options is usually the answer.

I've forgotten my alternative password and I've used up all the attempts so now it's telling me if I press OK it will go back to the factory settings and I'll lose all my information, can I avoid this?

See my question above regarding the fact that my fingerprint didn't register and I've forgotten my alternative password. It never prompted me to use my Google account which would have been helpful...instead it seems that I've used up all the attempts at the alternative password and if I press OK it will set my phone back to factory settings which I really want to avoid. I have tried: All the alternative passwords I can think of...I may not have even set one. I think it was caused by: I tried to open with my fingerprint one too many times when my finger was slightly damp.

Length of contract - it should be 30 days, not 12 months?

I ordered the new SIM on a 30 day contract but have just received an email saying it's a 12 month contract. I have tried: Responded to your email confirming the contract. I think it was caused by: Haven't a clue - the 1 year contract is 1000 minutes for £7.50, I specifically chose the 500 minutes for £7.50
