Just like face unlock and ambient display are useless for you so they're useless features.

I use LockDown and it is a meaningful feature for me. It helps in preventing unauthorized use when the device is unattended.

If you do not like it, then you can disable the button from showing in your power menu.

Need not lock the phone through lockdown key it's just my opinion... You need just press power key it's lock automatically...if you don't know....this is for your information

Oh dear, LockDown is more than that. LockDown disables biometrics to unlock and hides sensitive notifications from the lockscreen. It is different from just locking using the Power button. Just read a bit about it. It is very useful in certain situations.

Hello, can you explain more about the problem? I'm sure a solution would be possible. Do you mean that the phone asks for a password and you don't have the password?

Then you can use a hard reset service like this one:
