In the last couple of weeks we have dedicated quite some time for helpful tips for different tech problems. Today we are sharing quick instructions what to do when a message shows up on some Android smartphones - Use PIN after restart

Why do you get the Use PIN after restart message

The answer to this question is very simple - you had your phone turned off or just restarted it and your smartphone security settings require your PIN in order to proceed using it.

In this case you cannot use the fingerprint or other security options since they are considered secondary and will be available after the phone is unlocked with PIN.

    1. You didn't restart your Samsung smartphone yourself and it is still showing you the message 'Use PIN after restart'? Is it possible that you confused it with the regular PIN that is used to unlock the phone or that the phone restarted itself?
