screen unlock information. If you used
up all 5 opportunities, you will have to
wait 30 seconds to attempt unlocking
the phone again.

If you logged into a Google account on
the phone and failed to use the correct
pattern 5 times, tap
Forgot pattern?

account and prompted to create a new
unlock pattern.

unlock the screen with keying in the
