How do I reset my alternate password?

Question

I just got my S5 two days ago and have been adding apps, etc. When I set up fingerprint screenlock I thought that I had entered an alternative password, but nothing like it works and now I would like to reset it in case the fingerprint unlock ever fails to open the screen to use. Any way of doing this without doing a hard reset on the device. Can Verizon wireless store help with this?

Solution to Fingerprint Unlock Problems-- Lesson Learned

I hear your question and it sounds like you had problems with unlocking the phone with fingerprint. For my first week, I struggled with the fingerprint unlock. I would have to scan finger multiple times, and much of the time, it would not unlock at all. But I really wanted it to work.

Solution... I started over and  created a new fingerprint, but this time, I did each of the 8 or so sample scans carefully and as much the same as possible. Now, I can unlock it with the stroke of a finger every time.

Just go to Settings >Fingerprint> Fingerprint Manager an replace your finger print with a better one. Its worth the effort to make a few attempts at this, because once you get a good one, the fingerprint unlock works like a charm almost every time, the first scan.
