What If I Forget my Pattern?
If you forget your device's lock pattern, you can unlock your
device or reset it using your Google™ Account credentials.
When you enter the wrong unlock pattern too many times,
you should see an option at the bottom of the screen that
says
Forgot pattern?
Follow these steps to use either your PIN
or email address.
Important!
You can only enter an incorrect lock pattern 5 times
before the device is locked.
