Unreliable fingerprint sensor, got locked out even after entering correct password.
I've often faced issues with the fingerprint sensor not being efficient and last night I got locked out. When I tried to unlock the phone by entering the password it said 'incorrect'. Tried restarting and it still says incorrect on my 23rd attempt. Can't even enter the recovery mode to hard reset it. Any suggestions/help before I reach out to the service centre?

If you're locked out, then the only solution is a hard reset. Unfortunately, there's no option in the recovery mode and hence you should visit Nokia Care. Or you can avail any remote services that some vendors may offer. They will be paid though. So, in case you have a Nokia care near you, just go there and they'll perform the factory reset for you.
