I have an issue where this alleged waterproof phone's power button starts malfunctioning when in contact with the slightest hint of moisture. This is a horrible in combination with the fact that Samsung XCover 5 will start calling an emergency hotline if power button is pressed 5 times in a row. This feature cannot be disabled or mapped to different key. Really stupid decision if you ask me. With my broken phone trying to call ambulance multiple times a day, sometimes even at night, I have been removing its battery a lot. Today after a few restarts I got a notification saying I need to enter phone password to login to my work profile (Gmail, calendar etc). I entered it, presumably wrong, and the login window said to try again in 24 hours. This was my first attempt in that window. When I locked the screen I found out this timer applies to lock screen as well. I need the phone tomorrow. I have access to the Google account the phone is associated it. Is there anything I can do to remove the timeout?
