I got my samsung galaxy nexus. I maked a pattern code, and it works perfectly to lock up the phone. But i turn the power off, and the phone wont accept my pattern code. I dont have my google account on it, beacause i dont have one

What i gonna do? i tried odin mode, but i not work. The pattern code worked before i turned it off, now it not works. can i get the normal setting back. Im so sad beacause off this!
 
You could try re flashing the stock image. For that you will need to go to the All Things Root section for instructions. Also is your G Nex a VZW or GSM?
 
Factory reset should fix it. The stock recovery should be able to do that - turn the phone off, hold down both volume keys and press the power button. Once it starts up into fastboot mode (there's an Android in the middle of the screen), use the volume keys to change the top arrow to "Recovery Mode" and press the power button.

I can't remember what the menu setting is once you're in recovery, but it should be pretty obvious and will say something like "Wipe Data" or "Factory Reset."

Didn't realize you were on the G Nex bandwagon Binary. That's cool.

Can't believe how nice it is to have a proper unlocked recovery. I spent the last couple weeks visiting family and was happily modding away without access to a computer, because I knew I wouldn't need RSD Lite + SBF to recover a screwed up flash.

How were you even using the phone without a google acct on it?

The account setup for the Google Account can be skipped. Unless you're using the Market or other Google services, it won't prompt to create one again, so it's very possible they just skipped creation, and hadn't done anything else yet that prompted it.
