I have recently found an old phone I used a few years back ( galaxy s6 ) and I can not remember the information after doing a factory reset. is there any way I might be able to flash the device or bypass the lock all together?

How can i bypass reactivation lock

The S6 active was released with android 5.01. This was before FRP was included and I don't think it was enabled by default with an upgrade. Did you actually enable it when you upgraded to 6?
Assuming you were using the same google account with that phone, then you could try booting the phone with your current sim card in it to establish a data connection and then use your current credentials. You might have to let it sit for a few hours before it updates to the current password, but it should work.

If you can find the correct firmware for the device you might be able to use Odin to restore the device...
not sure really...
If Odin doesnt flash the block partition that contains the FRP data you'll still be locked even if you flash it with stock firmware...
i'm not real big into the Samsung's so not sure about that bit.
a trivial bit of Use-less info here tho,
I've found that in Lollipop 5.1.1 the FRP did ship stock in many LG devices...
and to bypass it I had to edit the stock system image on a linux computer,
the relevant line of code is contained in Build.prop file...
so you can either Comment out that line in build.prop and flash /system image back to the device
OR
find the partition that the line in build.prop points to and zero that partition...
either method should bypass FRP.
Now as to how to accomplish those things,
well your on your own there Pal.
Good Luck
