Hello, welcome to the forum. I'm sorry to hear that. After a few failed attempts to unlocked your device, you should be prompted to enter your Google username and password for authentication. Other than this step you would have to reset the device. Best of luck. Happy Holidays.

Hello and welcome to Android Forums!

If you've entered a pattern lock (or password, for that matter) too many times, the phone should prompt you to unlock it with the credentials for the Google account to which it's registered. If you have forgotten your google password, go to Account Password Recovery and change your password. Then reboot your phone.

One caveat is that you must have a data connection enabled on the phone for this to work ... either 3G or Wifi ... so that Google's servers can authenticate the account. If you have entered the pattern but do not know the credentials or have Wifi and 3G both off, there's little to do other than a full reset.
