Daughter has a Samsung Galaxy 7 Edge. She locked herself out of the phone during an update and can't remember the entry code. Short of some sort of a factory reset (which needs to be avoided at all costs) anyone know an in for this?

Probably nothing can be done. Call the carrier.

Shes on the way over to the ATT store to see what they can do. It sucks. She is upset but it is her own doing. She has many memorable things on the phone about her sister.

You may be able to mount the phone on a laptop and download the pictures and probably the messages.

If they are on the removable memory card they will be there.

Also, they may be automatically backed up to the cloud depending on your system.

get @ the CIA/NSA/FBI cuz you KNOW they've got something! [that whole business about the feds "leaning on apple" to give them access to the bakersfield terrorist/s' cellphone/s = LOLWAT?!?! had to be a little dog-n-pony show for the public to be like "see? not even the upper echelons of alphabet soup can get thru that apple security, i tell you what! feel safe and confident entrusting more and more of your life in/with your phones, peasants!" =]

btw: you wanna know the reason we're not microchipped [yet]?? because why do some [brave new orwellian?] shit like microchipping the population when you can instead get them to pay $75/+ per month to get a nice indelible little technological candy bar that they lug around everywhere that collects/shares FAR more data than any little microchip could ever dream of doing! "mark it [BEAST] dude!" - smokey from the big lebowski [and we know where he's entering, huh? =]
