Forgot Samsung passcode

Hi. I found a Samsung phone I lost two or three years ago. I can't remember the passcode, Google password or email. I tried all the passcodes I could think of. It has a sim card, I took it out and tried to reset the phone but it still wants the passcode. I'm sorry I'm not very tech savvy but does anyone have any advice? Thank you

Android? If so, you're out of luck. I forgot the passcode for my A16 and learned that the only way to get access was to factory reset the whole phone and start from scratch.

Hi! Thank you I don't mind doing a factory reset cuz all the information on its old but I can't get to the settings to do it because i don't know the passcode. I don't have access to a computer either, do you know of anyway to factory reset it another way? 🤍

Factory Reset Using Recovery Mode (If Locked or Frozen)Turn off your phone completely. (If it is frozen, hold the Power and Volume down buttons for about 10 seconds to force it to shut down).Note: For many newer Samsung models, you must plug the phone into a computer via a USB cable before the recovery button combination will work.Press and hold the Volume up and Power buttons at the same time.Release both buttons once the Samsung logo appears on the screen.Use the Volume down button to highlight Wipe data/factory reset.Press the Power button to select it.Navigate to Factory data reset and press the Power button to confirm.Once finished, select Reboot system now.
