Unlock Samsung J7 Prime without factory reset and without adb commands

Hello guys. I've a Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime, and I need to unlock it, remove the text password, without using adb commands (because USB debugging isn't enabled). I know the way using factory reset, but I need to access the local files (specifically phone calls registry)
 
I'm pretty sure it's impossible to unlock the bootloader without the phone resetting. The unlock process initiates a reset, and that's how it is.
 
Reading through your posting it's not quite clear if you're using the word 'unlock' in reference to a locked bootloader or a carrier-lock, or if you simply mean you want to get past a lock screen. If it is just a lock screen matter and you've forgotten your password, you should be able to reset it as long as you know the password for the Google account that phone is tied to:

You'll have to go through a retrieval process to prove the phone is indeed yours.
