Unlock S6 - unable to recognize fingerprint - WiFi off - forgot backup password

Hello,
Today this message appeared on my phone:
"Unable to recognize your fingerprint. Enter your backup password to unlock the device".
The fingerprint is not recognized. The backup password does not work. And the WiFi is OFF, so I cannot use Gmail to access my phone. I tried to unlock it with Kies but it does not seem to be possible.
What can I do to unlock it?
Thanks in advance.

It doesn't matter that your WiFi is off, you should be able to use your Google account to unlock it, as long as it has service.
