1- Sign in with your Gamil account: Right, it's locked! But press and hold the power button, the last item will be Mobile network.


2- Instead of your previous password which may be unusable now, go to your Google account page, (https://www.google.com/setting.... In left panel of the newly opened page, click: "Security".

3- In 2-step verification, which should be located under Notifications, click: "Manage your application specific passwords".

4- Log in to your Gmail account by clicking "Verify".

5- We're close; Here we need to create a password which will replace the one we've had. Choose a name for it, for example "My Android phone". Then click: "Generate Password".

6- Since the 1st step we got connected to the Internet. So, as the final act enter your Gmail account "Example@gmail.com". Instead of your previous password, enter the 16-digit password you were given at step 5. As it says, the space between the letters don't matter.

7- If you have entered your Gmail username and the new 16 digit password correctly, you'll be taken to "Pattern Reset". That's all!

Most of users lock their mobile by using pattern lock.Pattern lock is a kind of lock in which you have to draw image by connecting  adjacent circles.You can browse your mobile only when you make right pattern.In case you draw wrong pattern ,you are asked to redraw the pattern.
If you add wrong pattern for more than 20 times then your phone get locked.Now you can’t try new pattern or use any other feature of mobile phone.Even you can’t make any call.In this case your phone is totally locked.

Solution for Too Many Pattern Attempts

If you have attempted wrong pattern many times and your phone is locked ,then there are following solutions:-
First solution is to use Google account associated with mobile.You need to log in into your Google account and then you can disable or change the pattern lock.Internet (mobile data) on your mobile should be working otherwise you need access to WiFi to do that.If  your mobile is not connecting with internet then you have to go for second solution.




Too Many Pattern Attempts

 1, With the phone turned of, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.

2, Wait for the screen with the 3 Android images to appear, ONLY then release the VOLUME DOWN button.

3, Press VOLUME DOWN twice to select "CLEAR STORAGE", and then press the POWER button.

4, When asked to "CONFIRM", press VOLUME UP

5, Finally "REPLACE" the SD Card and SIM Card to restore settings and contacts and you're away!

Too Many Pattern Attempts
If WiFi or mobile data is Off on your mobile then you can’t authenticate online to unlock your device.You can enable WiFi as well as mobile data by connecting your mobile with Android Debug Bridge (ADB). This method requires USB Debugging feature enabled which is under ‘Developer options’ of your device.

Second solution to overcome “Too Many Pattern Attempts” problem is to format the mobile device.You need to make hard reset of your mobile to overcome pattern lock problem.For most of the Android devices ,you can hard reset the device by pressing POWER + VOLUME + HOME button simultaneously.Please remember that all your data (images ,music files , videos and contacts saved in mobile ) will lost during hard reset and your phone will be restored to factory setting.

Let me know if you didn’t find hard reset code/method for your mobile.I will find it for you.
Third solution is to use desktop app.You need to know username and password of Google account associated with your mobile device.Name of the app  is Screen Lock Bypass Pro. You can download it in Google store.Install this app on your device and you can bypass the pattern lock.



 Steps to Bypass Pattern Lock Using Android Debug Bridge (ADB)
You can bypass pattern lock using ADB.For this method to work ,you need USB debugging mode enabled.By default this feature is enabled automatically.

Connect your device to computer with the help of USB cable and issue following command through ADB
adb shell
rm /data/system/gesture.key
Reboot your android device and now supply following commands
adb shell
cd /data/data/com.android.providers.setting­s/databases
sqlite3 settings.db
update system set value=0 where name=’lock_pattern_autolock’;
update system set value=0 where name=’lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently’;
.quit

Restart your device.

If you can't sign in after you enter your username and password, you can follow troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue. You can also choose to reset your device to factory settings and add another Google Account.

You have done.It will accept any pattern lock now.Let me know if you got any error.

    Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
