My new Android was disconnected from network and then my daughter messed up with pattern locking. Now it asks for my Google account ID and password; but as the device is disconnected, it refuses to accept them. What are the best options to bring my device to working condition?

February 10, 2013if you have usb debugging enabled then you can try this method http://www.redmondpie.com/bypassing-android-pattern-lock-is-a-piece-of-cake-all-you-need-is-adb-and-usb-debugging-enabled/ but if you haven’t then you will have to reset the phone or follow these steps here http://einartysen.se/unlock-android-phone-after-too-many-pattern-attempts/
you can also go to a place where they offer free internet without password and enter your gmail and password.

February 22, 2013the only method is to do hard reset of your device. You might lose all the information stored in it. by default all the information is backed up to google servers unless you’ve disabled it.
