I have entered my pin over 100 times incorrectly and have not gotten "Forgot Password" button.

I don't have a wire to connect it to my computer so what can I do? Am I just screwed

What to Do If You've Forgotten Your Android Phone's Passcode

They cover 2 options, but there's a third that I'll give. Here goes:

  1. Mess up the pin 5 times and use the "forgot" button. Obviously, you can't get this to work (not uncommon), so moving on...
  2. Download Screen Lock Bypass Pro ($4+). You can do this from the web interface, and it requires the Google account credentials of the phone owner (and money).
  3. Boot into the recovery and factory reset. Just google "(your phone) reboot recovery" and go from there.
