frriction Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 The device needs to have usb debugging enabled,root is not required (though it will be better if the device was rooted) both method are through adb. method 1: adb shell cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases sqlite3 settings.db update system set value=0 where name='lock_pattern_autolock'; update system set value=0 where name='lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently'; .quit method 2: adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key you can try both of them,here is how i managed to remove the lock: 1- run the first method. 2-reboot 3-run the second method 4-reboot NOTES: -in the first method each line is a seperate command so click enter after typing each line. -in the second method type all the command and then press enter. -after running both methods and rebooting you may see the pattern lock,that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't work,just try any random pattern and it may unlock then remove the pattern from settings. -this may and may not work,it may work on some devices and don't on others,so all you can do is trying it but i can't assure it will work. by m.sabra Quote
