Quit bad luck to get passwd twice wrong in the same way. Well, shit happends so maybe this story is true..and even you seem 99% sure one time poster i'm going to give small advice.

My quick advice is that one easy way would be to find out a way to delete this file:  "/data/system/password.key", which has the password stored. One way to delete that file is root acces through android debug bridge(ADB).
If you happend to have custom recovery flashed then you might be able to remove file with it, at least twrp has some file manager in it.

Edit: ofc you're a bit screwed if you don't have usb debugging on.

Thanks I will try that tomorrow heading bed now.I can provide proof of purchase for it if there is stuff that you dont want to tell cause I'm a first time poster and i can see how this could look a little bad(maybe private message so the information isnt freely out there for guests to see).A little more backstory is that i was in the middle of a lecture and the password was a little to simliar to another I used so i decided to change it there and then definitely not my brightest hour but I never thought I could even do it wrong twice and secondly I thought I would be able to use my google play email account to reset it .(As find my mobile.samsung said it could do it but I cant remember if I gave it permissions and i it says I need to be connected to the network I am not sure if they ment gps or data connections but there bought off).I will keep you updated and thanks again for your help. P.S is username a metal gear reference if so thats awesome and thanks to anyone that can help.

If you didn't s-off and root it, then you are pretty much screwed lol. Otherwise you could flash the ROM and continue living. Right now all I can think of is to reset it. People also keep backups, so that shit like this doesn't ruin your life.

Hrmmm android has a failsafe that if you enter the incorrect password so many times you can just enter in your gmail password, so I call bullshit, wants to get in their girlfriend/boyfriends phone. If it was stolen then they would just wipe it.

That fail safe is not working can upload a photo if you wish,I literally enter the password five times then 30 second wait.Unless I am some how missing it .I have added a photo to this post to show I have as may trys as I like and encase your wonder why it doesnt say 200 trys it resets to 0 trys when you turn it in and off again,I just entered it 20 times again to prove that It is as I say and yes it is my phone,and thanks again guys for trying to help

@DeepCopy is correct. Simply put in gmail account and it'll reset your password.

If internet is not enabeled I dont think that fail safe is there it is deffienetly not there on my phone as I have asked people to make sure.(could be the password lock option otherwise that doesnt show it but i have to delete everything to check that)
