Hello.

After "Reset Screen Lock" operation You need to draw new (any) pattern, or input new (any) password.

Disconnect all other devices from PC, re-boot the PC and try to repeat the operation once again. If this will not help - only Factory reset will help to reset "Screen Lock" in this device.

Does the phone needs to be rooted or if ADB must be on to remove the passcode? sometimes that we need to remove the password will not be rooted or adb enabled. will that still work?

In order, to perform "Reset Screen Lock" operation for SM-G900H, You need to switch the phone to Download Mode and connect it directly to PC via micro USB cable.
Additional configuration is not required.
