Help Locked out of phone

Calcify

Lurker
So maybe this is the wrong board or something. Sorry if it is. Okay, so yesterday my friend was fiddling around with my phone. She was trying to guess the pattern, and we were joking around. She kept getting it wrong, but I didn't know that it could completely stop you from attempting to guess the pattern and force you to use an email and password. Anyways, I tried my Google account and then every email I own multiple times with every password I have ever used. To make sure I was getting it right, I even went on my computer to change the password to my Google account just to prove to myself that I knew it. Nothing works. It won't go back to the pattern and it won't accept any email/password combo that I use. The only Google account I own is the one I was inputting as I specifically created it because my phone forced me to.

Now, I'm not exactly the brightest guy when it comes to tech. I'm not dumb, but I don't know a lot of jargon. So layman's terms would be best. I'd rather not put the phone back at factory settings as I have a LOT of stuff on there. Most can be replaced, but I'd rather avoid that. Any help is MUCH appreciated. Thank you very much!
