Sometimes plugging in the phone (into the charger) allows the phone to boot. Maybe your battery is simply empty? Charging the phone is a good idea regardless.

Also, try booting to safe mode to test the power button:

  1. Turn "OFF" the Galaxy S6
  2. Press and hold the Power/Lock button at the same time until you see the "Galaxy S6? logo
  3. When the logo shows up, immediately hold the Volume Down button, while releasing the Power button
  4. Keep holding the Volume Down until your phone finishes rebooting
  5. If it was loaded successful, a "Safe Mode" will show on the bottom left corner of the screen
  6. Let go of the Volume Down button
  7. To exit "Safe Mode" press thePower/Lockkey and then touchRestart

*#7780# This will soft reset your phone all data, like contacts, calendar and notes, are not removed It will only reset the phone settings, such as profiles, themes and shortcuts.

*#7370# This will also reset your phone all data, like contacts, calendar, notes, profiles, themes and shortcuts are removed. The default lock code is 12345.

there is another way to hard reset you phone completly

make sure battery is fully charged and first switch off the phone then
hold the Green button + *button + 3button and Power button and wait till Formatting appears on the screen

all data will be lost on the phone (not memory card)

I still could not reformat my phone because of the lock code

go for hard reset like this,if nothing works ,this is what I do
Hard Format :

Hard Format can be done if your phone is facing any of the problems mentioned below :

1. Blank screen. Phone unable to reboot.
2. Phone only able to boot-up to "Nokia" word screen.
3. Installed some program but not able to uninstall it after that.
4. Error messages such as "Child Installer" keeps popping-up.

Make sure cell battery is atleast 75% charged. If its not then you are putting your cell at risk. If its atleast 75% charged then do the following:

1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (call answer) button, * button, and '3' button.
3. While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone.
4. When the message 'Formatting' appears on the screen, release all of the buttons.

The procedure takes some minutes (approx. 3-4) so dont panic.

Note that you shouldn't switch the phone off or remove the battery when performing either of these operations.
