anybody suggestions on how to bypass the pincode for a Smasung S7 galaxy, without a factory reset?

I do have the PUK code (unlocks the sim card, but does not give me access to the data on the phone)

The gmail account is not known to me for a pin reset.
I'm aware of the SDK tool and Aroma File manager, however other options to share are much appreciated.

Cheers

Does it have a custom lock screen from a third-party app or is it the original lock screen?

Wouldn't that delete all the data? OP wants not to loose any data.

Correct me if I'm wrong, how I interprete the custom recovery is that I create a back-up and this the first step to bypass the pincode. Second step is is that is use CWM to restore the back up made. Correct?

See below on what i could find on the custom recovery

"A custom recovery is a third-party recovery environment. Flashing this recovery environment onto your device replaces the default, stock recovery environment with a third-party, customized recovery environment. This is a bit like flashing a custom ROM like CyanogenMod — but, instead of replacing your device’s Android operating system, it replaces the recovery environment.

A custom recovery environment will do the same things as the stock Android recovery. However, it will also have additional features. Custom recoveries often have the ability to create and restore device backups. Custom recoveries allow you to install custom ROMs. ClockworkMod even offers a “ROM Manager” app that allows you to access many of these features from a running Android system — this app requires a custom recovery installed to function."
