Secure boot requires PIN (2 tries left untill factory reset the phone)

Question

I have a situation where I recently set PIN, activated Secure boot and booted up my phone and entered the PIN incorrectly 28 times. Now I have two times to enter the PIN correctly else the phone will be reset to factory defaults (images, all data deleted) which I want to avoid.


Do you think it's possible to reset the number of tries again to 30 for secure boot if I already used 28 times? The phone which I am using is Samsung S9+.

Answer

secure startup means android is not booted therefore FindMyMobile not available. counter can be reset in crypto footer but that requires raw access via chip-off method (or samsung signed firehose programmer if your device is qualcomm usa model)
