Hi

I was looking into this and understand your frustration. The post linked above will lead you to hard reset your phone just because it happened to have all data and work turned off when the unlock code was messed up. There does not seem to be a way around this unless:

You have a rooted phone and are able to follow some quite complicated procedures
Or
Before messing up you had installed an app such as androidlost. This allows you to send an sms to your locked phone which enables data and or wifi. Very good idea for everyone but not much use as an after thought I realise.

I also found this thread http://androidtipguys.com/forum/how-unlock-android-tab-after-forgetting-screen-lock-pattern-255.html
Post #26 looks hopeful but i have not tried it.
