I have a sony ericsson X10, it has a security pattern lock on the phone. However this has gone off in my pocket and now the phone is locked. I can not remember the google email address for the phone and now i can not access the phone. Orange customer service has told me to get in touch with google, in order to delete the old account [whatever that may be] but there is no number for google customer service. Anyone....please help!!!!!

Would a factory reset do the job? There should be a way using the power button and one or more others to instigate a factory reset.

If you know your email account name then you could try typing in 'null' as a password which has worked for some people.

If not then you will have to run a repair/reset via Sony Ericsson Update Service which will wipe your phone back to factory settings and you can then reload everything from new.
