@Eleanor-53  EE can not help you gain access to your device they don’t know the passcode.   Your only option is a factory reset and if you don’t have a backup of the device you’ll loose all information on it.

Do you know if you have Remote Unlock enabled on your Phone?

If you have a Samsung Account login to here - https://www.samsung.com/uk/apps/smartthings-find/

If you haven't enabled Remote Unlock then as @Chris_B said it will be case of Factory Resetting your Phone which means you'll loose everything unless you've backed your Phone up.

I will look now, however I cant do a factory reset as it wont allow my to switch phone off
