Sorry...? I am sorry. I guess I should of posted proof of my statement being complety true. What I am talking about is talked about in the below links. Also if you click the "Forgot Pattern?" on the moto droid button during the temporary lock out the same will occur.

I have since found out how to do the Hard Reset that should fix the problem but I am not going to try on my phone.
This is how you do a Hard Reset:
You can hard reset your Motorola Droid
phone if you want clear all of the data off of the device and start fresh. Here’s how it’s done.
1. Turn the Droid off. If it won’t turn off, take the battery out then place it back in.
2. Open the
keyboard
and press the
X key while pressing and holding
Power. The device will power on. Keep holding the buttons downuntil a yellow triangle appers.
3. Press the
Camera and
Volume Up buttons at the same time to get to the menu.
(I had to press them several times).
4. Use the direction pad to the right of the keyboard to select the
Format option.
