Htc inspire "Too many pattern attempts"

rickyjay · August 12th, 2011, 11:03 AM

Hey im new here and i have a htc inspire and my brother started to mess with it and tried to enter the number code to get to the home screen and now it says: Too many attempts and is asking for my gmail account info. Problem is that i lost my wallet that had that info, so now i cannot get into the home screen. Anybody know a solution to this? Any thing will be greatly aprreciated.

You can try to get your info online from a computer. Go to gmail.com then click the forgot password or whatever else you need

tried that, nothing, i set up my gmail account 1x and never went back to it. Its not my primary email so i just had it for the phone. Now i am stuck. Thanks for the suggestion.

Anybody know if i call it would it help? or reset which i rather not do

Not sure about calling it you could try. I think the worse case is you will need to reset the phone.

i guess im going to try to reset it, worst case scenario take it to a phone repair store see if they can do it, just wish i could have done it, im tired of spending money, i just spent money to fix the screen

This is worth a shot if you've used ADB before

Pattern Lock.. Defeated! - xda-developers

^leave it to xda to find a way around it. Hope it works.

would this work even if the too many patterns thing comes up?
