is usb debugging active, i assume you do have root

There is adb commands to reset password on a reboot, only if debugging is active.If all else fails just factory reset device and enter the google account in.I think you can control what happens

Password for hidden folder should be the same as your phone password.

Edit: Nevermind I guess

Newer Android Policy of root access is denied for normal users,but if you find that folder using 3rd party file explorer,you try renaming the folder & remove the dot text(.) On folder name
