What to do if your kid gets ahold of your phone, locks you out through too many incorrect patterns,
and for some reason your phone isn't accepting your gmail login.
Call your phone, do not answer it. Hang up the phone you're calling with while pressing your home key repeatedly.
This does not fix your lock out, rather you'll have to disable your pattern lock to avoid having it happen again. Otherwise, if your screen just goes into timeout, you'll have to open your phone.

Luckily, I got my phone yesterday, so restoring it to factory defaults wasn't that big of a deal. Sadly, I don't think there's a way around restoring it to factory defaults to fix this problem. Sprint will tell you it takes a Sprint Tech to do this, and most customer service people have no clue about any of this.
