Forgot Pattern, but Have Fingerprint and Backup Password

I assume this is an easy fix, but I have no idea how.
I have forgotten my pattern as I have recently changed it. However, I still have full access to my phone because I use fingerprint authentication. I also know my backup password, but I can't find the option to reset my pattern using one of these two options.

I have tried getting my pattern incorrect many times and was told this would eventually lead to my password reverting to my backup; this hasn't happened.

Could someone help me?

I have a Samsung S7.

Thanks.
