URGENT! phone wont let me in W/O password and I NEVER SET ONE

I set my galaxy to Super Power Saver mode on my way home because it was dying. As i got home, it wouldn't unlock without a password. problem is, i've never set a password and i don't know what it could POSSIBLY be. I'm locked out of my own phone and if i fail 2 more times on my password, it factory resets and i loose everything. I don't know how to get out of this or get it unlocked. I never set up android device manager and i NEED HELP!

I tried taking out the battery, waiting, and then turing it back on. It wouldn't turn on for like 5 minutes. It only turned on after i took out the memory card. Why is this happening?:'(

I'm currently just waiting for the phone to die on it's own, and then hopefully work once i start to charge it. If ANYONE has any insight on this problem, PLEASE HELP

I haven't set up device manager, but i will after this. i have been talking with Samsung support (not a very nice woman), Verizon support (a SUPER COOL person who's been amazing by the name of Adelia. i recommend her) and there's nothing anyone can do and I'm pretty sure im being forced to factory reset the phone :'(

IMO - also set up Lookout as a back up to Android Device Manager -
