Samsung Galaxy pin locked

I stupidly put in a new pin pattern instead of 4 digit pin and took a print screen of it thinking I could retrieve the print screen via Google photos if I had problems remembering the pattern. I was 90% sure I had the correct version but obviously not and now I'm locked out. The phone keeps letting me try the pattern…

I stupidly put in a new pin pattern instead of 4 digit pin and took a print screen of it thinking I could retrieve the print screen via Google photos if I had problems remembering the pattern. I was 90% sure I had the correct version but obviously not and now I'm locked out.

The phone keeps letting me try the pattern repeatedly but to no avail. It doesn't give me the "forgot pin" option. Is there anyway of retrieving the print screen to get the pattern or is my only option to factory reset at this stage. Google photos does not have a copy of the image, it must be stored on the phone. I really don't want to lose the material on my phone.

Phone model is A30.
