OMG - Forgot My Ledger Nano S Password!
F&$k!!! I wish I was dreaming, however, unfortunately, I just became THAT guy…you know the guy that loses access to his private key....that is me :(
This past week I had this horrible feeling something bad was going to happen to my ledger nano S and it did. As I was in the process of moving my coins from one ledger to another, the ledger holding most of my coins suddenly shuts off. I run to grab my Samsung galaxy tablet, only to find out that my 24 recovery words are locked in the Samsung Notes app located in a “Secure Folder” - and I forgot the password to unlock it.
Now, If I try to get root access to the memo with the recovery words, it may automatically destroy all my locked memos via the Samsung KNOX security protocol. I can’t even back the files up.
Lastly, I tried going to a hypnotist to see if I can remember the password, but that proved to be a waste of money.
Any advice?
I just want to be this guy!!!
SHIIIIIT DAWG, you souldnt overthink trying to remember yourpword else you never will!
i hope it comes bk to you
Thanks, hoping one day someone can figure out how to break into Samsung KNOX security. However, until then my coins will be collecting dust :(

How about trying what this 15 year old did?

My Samsung Notes says, " We recommend you sign in to your Samsung account and sync your Samsung Notes data with Samsung Cloud. After you do this, you can reset your password using your Samsung account to avoid deleting any locked notes"
That may be true for the older version. Now, with the latest Samsung KONX version, I can't even sync it to the cloud.
Surely you can use the master key to get the password back. That is BAD times man!!!! I hope you do remember it soon or all crypto is gone forever!!!!
