Android Question

Hi - I have used the line code security system and forgotten the exact sequence!
I have tried five times to get it right and so have locked myself out of the phone completely.
To make things worse i cannot remember the gmail used to set the phone up!

Is there anyway of unlocking the phone without wiping all my contacts and photos?
 
If you stored all of your contacts on your Google account, all you have to do is log back into your phone and the contacts will be there.

If you do a factory data reset, you will not lose your photos--if they are stored on the SD card, not the phone itself.

If you have stored all of your contacts and photos on your phone, put the phone down and wait for the timer to expire and unlock the PIN pad. Otherwise, you'll have to wipe the phone, start over, and lose everything.
