OK, I've entered a wrong pattern too many times. The phone now asks for my gmail username and password.
I tried to enter them, but it doesn't accept the credentials. They are certainly valid, I know because I logged in via web browser with the same name/pass and it works.
Enter "null" in the password field and the phone allows you to reset the pattern.
Man, I was ready to throw it into the wall...
This solves my problem, but think about it, it's also a security hole. Anyone can
take your "unlock pattern protected" phone, type in "null" and voila, access granted.

Wouldn't it be possible to have someone call you, press the end call then home button and remove the unlock pattern in the settings? Well, that's if you know what the pattern is.
None of these options for the Galaxy S worked for me... however the following did.
I downloaded samsung kies (Samsung pc suite) and updated the firmware to version 2.2 android, then you simply enter email and password, this gives you the option to reset unlock pattern, and i didn't lose any of my info !!!
Hope this helps !!!!...
p.s. 2.2 android update is not available in all countries yet so when installing kies i selected UK as country.
