There's good news and bad news. The good news is that you might well have forgotten that the default password on the Samsung phone is 00000000 (that's eight zeroes).

Thank you for using FixYa.

From what I keep seeing, the password can never be changed into a personal. It's always going to be either 0000 or 000000.
