I recently purchased Galaxy s2 epic 4g "ICS" and changed the password 5 days later while i was messed up and next morning i couldn't remember.
It tried at least 3,000x and more but cant get it. I have a g-mail account but it doesn't give me that option when i enter password that many times incorrect.I have a business and important information on this phone so i can't hard reset. I am asking anybody if there is anybody who knows how to get this working again or at least a way where i can connect to my computer and extract all the info before hard reset. Please help me unlock my 5 day old phone because this really sucks.
 
Well if you have a gmail account linked to the phone, then your contacts should be synced (as long as you didn't disable it. email too should still be there on gmail or Yahoo unless you deleted it. so logging onto your account from the pc should give you access to those (provided you haven't changed/forgotten those passwords too).
What else do you have to recover?

i'm guessing it's not rooted. what you can do is flash agats kernel and that will give you root and cwm without wiping data. perform a backup in cwm, copy that to your PC, flash the stock rom, flash the kernel then import the backup and do an advanced restore of the data????

That might work but it should be considered the last option...and i'm just assuming someone with more experience might be able to confirm this will work

i'm not responsible if you break your phone fyi good luck

Edit: What important types of stuff are you looking to extract? contacts, email, apps, app data, pictures, vids, ? The more info you can provide the better chance you will get the exact help you need.
 
Do you remember your google account password? Once you try enough times and fail it'll ask you for your google account password. The one that's on the phone. Hope your phone has net connection to do this... once you put in your google account password the phone will unlock.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.
