Your question is logically impossible.
You must mean, "What prehistoric reptile is not considered by scientists to actually be a dinosaur?"
The answer is that there were many mammal-like reptiles that predated the dinosaurs and were not dinosaurs. One example being Dimetrodon, which went extinct millions of years before the first dinosaurs evolved.
Dinosaurs were not reptiles, but shared characteristics with both reptiles and birds. They were actually more like birds.
