[No One Puts A Real Name]

I recently changed my pattern recklessly and i have forgotten it. is there a way to recover without wiping out my data?

Shouldn't there be a forgot pattern and email login?

smash some patterns into your phone and it will give you a timeout, andi it asks you if you forgot your pattern and you can reset it via your google account.

You are screwed, reset is the only option now

It won't turn it on for you? What happens when you type in your info anyways?

 

Is your phone rooted or anything like that? Would maybe come in handy.

 

 

Edit: you may be abled to initiate a root and go to fastboot mode and screw around there, maybe there's and option. Idk if installing clockworkmod recovery already requires wiping your phonbe but that would give even more options.

Try by going to your lockscreen, hold down power, go into airplane more mode and then repeat to exist airplane mode.

 

if that fails, and nobody on

the www knows a solution, write an email to google support.

If you have USB debugging enabled you can connect it to a computer and send a command to unlock the screen. It kinda complicated, but I'd rather that than reset it.
