Friend just give a try to this trick.It works with Galaxy s5 maybe works with other versions Enter wrong pattern 5 times he will ask you for recovery pin 90% of people leave this pin as default enter 1234 or 0000. Hope this help!!!
if its legitimate and not stolen just ask the person you bought it from for password or reset to factory settings and put your own pattern lock and email on it
You have to recover with your Google Account. If you fail unlocking your phone 5 times, an extra button will pop up (think it says Forgot Pattern or something like that) and clicking it will ask you to enter your Google Account as well as password which will take you to the lock settings where you can choose to make a new pattern lock or get rid of it.
It all depends. If you have the pattern-lock enabled; you may be screwed because the pattern-lock itself is encrypted Google is the only one I know that can bypass this. Just ask the FBI. If you used a password-lock you can enter up to 10 times before asking for your email address.
Another way to bypass the "set-up screen" is to tap each corner starting from the the upper left, upper right, bottom right and then bottom left.
Another way is to SBF the device back down to stock (Gingerbread/Donut). Doing this will flash another rom, deleting the former rom which possessed your pattern-lock therefore circumventing the lock altogether. I hope I was of some help to someone.
Get your account password wrong 5 times and it will ask you if you forgot your password at the bottom. Then it gives you the opportunity to unlock your phone using your Google account credentials.
Ohhhh....you use Android phone right? You active pattern lock and forgot it? Try shutdown your phone by take the battery out and insert it again. You will be asked to enter the pattern lock, choose "I forgot..." and you can sigin to your google account agian!
Ok, So I just had the same thing happen to me last night and I just fixed it. It'll take 2 people to do it. I went on to my gmail and changed my pattern, after a few minutes my phone had a triangle with an exclamation mark come up in the notifications bar. Don't bother turning off your phone...mine didn't reset for the pattern after 7 hours of being turned off. At this point, once you get that triangle, get someone to call your phone, it'll unlock it for a few minutes. Just long enough for you to change the password on your phone by clicking into that arrow. Then your phone will lock again after the call is done. Put the new password into your phone again on this screen. Then it'll ask you to draw another pattern. Draw something simplistic, then if you want to take it back off just go back into your settings and remove the lock....just remember your pattern this time! hope this helps!
