    I assume your only hope is to do a hard reset. Try searching the forums for it. i think you home down the power and home button.

    If you let the phone lock and you enter the pattern wrong a few times its going to ask you to type in your password to your gmail account. After you enter the right password it will ask you to create a new pattern.
    cant put this damn phone down...

    I figured out there's a safemode in the phone you can get into it by holding down the menu button during boot up, by the way this also bypasses the security pattern, but if you lock the screen again you whould have to go in thru safemode again.

    Also, if you want to change your lock pattern, go to settings, security and click change pattern....

    I know this, this is where im stuck, i already created an unlock pattern put i have yet to activate it. However when i go to the change pattern option it is asking for the pattern which I stored. Im still stuck hasent asked me for my gmail password and i dont want to purposely active it in case it does not ask it for it.

    I just tried it for the sake of trying. It. and if you try the wrong pattern 5 times it will make you wait 30 seconds and in the lower left above the emergency call it will give you an option to unlock with your gmail acct and auto change your pattern

    Do what I did (take a look at my avatar pic to the left). I was real bored at work...

    A little off topic - but the unlock pattern program stalled while I was attempting an unlock the other day and I had to force a close. The phone went right to the home screen! Has this happened to anyone?
