Welcome to the forums, snoopy!
Has it prompted you to enter in your Gmail info yet once you fail the draw pattern enough times?
If you're just changing the pattern, head into Settings - Security and you can reset it from there.
Enjoy the site, cheers! :)
 
Hello and welcome aboard.

If you are talking about a screen lock password, then after a fixed number of incorrect entries your device should prompt you for the password for the gmail account the phone is registered to. If that doesn't work, shut off the device, log into the gmail account on a website and change the password using Google's Password Recovery.

Once the new password is confirmed, turn on the device and try using the new password. The above does rely on you having either 3G or WIFI enabled on your device, and if it's not, the only other solution would be a full factory reset! This can be done by powering off the device, press and hold the power + down buttons and follow steps to reset the device.

I hope this helps! :)
