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.

Important! If you are unsuccessful in retrieving your lock pattern or

unlocking your device, please contact cutomer service for
assistance.

To unlock your device with a PIN code:

1. Tap Forgot pattern? (located at the bottom of the screen).

2. Scroll down and tap the Type PIN code field and use the on-

screen keypad to enter the backup PIN code you setup when

you created your lock pattern.

3. Tap OK.

4. If you have forgotten your current pattern, tap Pattern from the

Screen unlock settings menu and follow the procedures

outlined in "Setting an Unlock Pattern"

on page 394

to create

a new pattern.
