Help Phone Locked

[utopianabyss]

Hi, don't know if anybody will be able to help, but it's the same old story that one of my mates got hold of my phone, too many password attempts, and now i'm locked out. I can't remember for the life of me my gmail account and didn't set up a recovery account either (idiot, i know).

I'm aware that there is the 'hard reset' option, but if anybody knows any way to sort it out, it would be much appreciated

Oh, and apparently the hard reset can only be done after sending it away. Don't know if I am too keen on paying out of my already tight budget

Try a soft reset, take battery out for 10 mins.

If the soft reset does'nt work you can try flashing the phone with odin.
Only problem is you will lose your apps messages (some contacts / not all with me for some reason)
