Hi so i recently changed the password on my Galaxy S6, its a pattern style password, and i dont recall what i set it as. I do not have a samsung account to use the find my mobile feature of unlocking it and the google option has only allowed me to lock an already locked device. the back up pin option is not showing up either. if anyone knows a software or any method really of unlocking my phone i would really appreciate you sharing. I would rather not reset my device as i have contacts not saved any where but the phone itself. Thanks for the help!

That's completely unrelated.

it's a program for SSH on windows.

it might not be possible unfortunately.

check if your contacts are on google. they should save to your google account by default IIRC
