Forgot your screen unlock pattern?
If you've forgotten your screen unlock pattern, you have up to five attempts to try and
unlock your phone. If this fails, you can unlock your phone by entering your Google
Account user name and password.
1. On the unlock screen, enter your unlock pattern.
2. After the fifth attempt and you're asked to wait for 0 seconds, tap OK.
3. If the display goes off, press the POWER button to turn the display back on, and
then press the bar on the lock screen and slide your finger down to unlock the
screen.
4. Tap the Forgot pattern button in the lower right corner when it appears.
5. Enter your Google Account name and password, and then tap Sign in.
You'll then be asked to create a new screen unlock pattern. If you no longer want to do
so, tap Cancel.
