Help Guess I'm the first to get locked out

[krstofer]

I was trying to change my unlock pattern and meant to hit cancel and I hit save.

Now I dont know what it was to change the pattern.I am still in the phone and it hasn't locked yet, but I need to reset the phone to get rid of the pattern. Unfortunately, I have to use hte pattern to reset the phone.


Anyone have any ideas?!!

My best advice is to call Tech support.

I went onto tmobile's site and found the answer.

Just make sure you have a google account.

You have to log in to view the page above. Here are the steps.
If you forget the screen unlock pattern, follow these steps:

1. Attempt to enter the screen unlock pattern five times.
2. Wait 30 seconds.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Tap Forgot pattern?.
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Enter your Google account log in.

No problem guys. Glad I could help (even if it was with my own problem haha). FYI Rob, the images are hosted remotely on tmobile's site, if it get's added to an FAQ, you may want to pull them onto the local site so they don't disappear.
