MOST THANKED IN THIS THREAD ALL-TIME RECENT

Dislcaimer: this is for educational purposes only,you shall not use this on other people phones without permission under any circumstances,and am not responsable to any misuse of this hack ok so not long ago i had a problem with a locked android device with a pattern and i managed to unlock it using adb,so here's how in case you were stuck one day with a locked device. the device needs to have usb debugging enabled in case usb debugging isn't enabled and you have cwm you can run the same instructions from cwm,root is not required (though it will be so better if the device was rooted) this was tested on:gingerbread,ice cream sandwich and jelly bean. both method are through adb. method 1:
Code:

15 11 6 3 3

i have better method than bot the above vNa5h 2012-Aug-10 5:59 (quote) Download the By-pass security CKKnot 2012-Aug-16 1:15

and that's a video showing how method 2 is done (thanks to melvinchng) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVJ7T...layer_embedded you can try both of them,here is how i managed to remove the lock: 1- run the first method. 2-reboot 3-run the second method 4-reboot NOTES: -in the first method each line is a seperate command so click enter after typing each line. -in the second method type all the command and then press enter. -after running both methods and rebooting you may see the pattern lock,that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't work,just try any random pattern and it may unlock then remove the pattern from settings. -this may and may not work,it may work on some devices and don't on others,so all you can do is trying it but i can't assure it will work. a small donation would be much appreciated thank (check my signature)

Do the files need to be restored or are they just the user data for the pattern locks?

Or you could boot into recovery backup data wipe factory reset and reboot Could try restoring data but most likely restore pattern lock Or simply enter your gmail address as requested

2nd option... if you have Custom recovery use AROMA File Explorer and you can do the same thing through the recovery or adb through the recovery
