Help Help with pattern screen lock

Hello,
I bought a Huawei M860 from a guy. He forgot the pattern lock so I got the phone really cheap. I plan to use it as a 'training tool' to self educate myself. Anyway, can someone help me with this pattern lock? Is there a way to get past it? Can I completely reset the phone? Is there anything I can try? I can't figure out the

Please feel free to shoot me an email anytime!
Thanks,

Yes, do a reset.
First remove battery for a few minutes and then put it back in.

Then at the same time hold the following:

volume up, call button and power button (hold until it vibrates)

When it asks for permissions select:

select wipe data/ factory to reset
 
Is there any way to reset it without wiping the data, or if not, access the contacts as I can't get into the gmail account attached to the phone, as I don't know what it is (any way to recover that as well?)...
