I inherited my Dad's Samsung phone (not as old as your J5) and knew 
nothing of the credentials same as you, I wanted to wipe it and pass it 
on to a nephew.

Everything was pointing to it not being possible, but some combination 
of holding keys while standing on your head while powering it on did 
allow a factory reset and then setting up from scratch ... google for 
the exact model number not just J5, maybe be microscopic laser etching, 
or on a sticker inside the battery hatch if it's that old?
