If you’ve forgotten your screen lock pattern, you have up to five attempts to try and unlock your phone.
If this fails, you can unlock the phone by entering your
Google Account user name and password.
-
On the security screen, enter your lock pattern.
-
After the fifth attempt, when you’re asked to wait for 30 seconds, tap
OK.
-
If the display goes off, press the POWER button to turn the display back on, and then unlock the screen.
-
Tap the
Forgot pattern? button when it appears.
-
Enter your Google Account name and password, and then tap
Sign in.
You’ll then be asked to choose a new screen lock. If you no longer want to have a screen lock, just press
to exit the
Security screen.
