Help Having PRoblem with my samsung galaxy y screen locker.. too many attemps and i forgot my google acc.

if it helps - what worked for me was to connect phone to Samsung Kies - google account name appears on one of the tabs and I was then able to use that to reset my pattern lock. fortunately for me I could remember my password but if you can't then using google password recovery is the way to go. This meant I didn't need to hard reset phone.
hope this helps

This solution will guide you to remove
pattern lock on recovery using aroma
file manager.
What you need.
- Rooted
- CWM

get it
Step 1 - Boot to recovery
Step 2 - Mount/system
Step 3 - Flash aroma file manager.
Step 4 - go to data/system
and delete Password.key( if u forgot password) or delete gesture.key (if u forgot pattern lock)

This process doesnot wipe ur any data but in factory reset phone data will wipe.
