Thank you so much!! to every one else yuo must have alot of patients. i almost broke my phone i wanted to slam it on the wall from the irritation. This works even if you dnt have a shortcut on your home screen.
1) open slide, go to account info screen
2) go to emergency call (now heres where its frusterating BE PATIENT)
press the <- back key
3) very quickly press menu, Repeat 1 and 2 then hit security.
4) after this keep reapeting until you complete the patern removal.
the screen will quickly in a second keep going back to the slide screen keep repeating step 1,2. When the phone takes you back to the slide every time you repeat step 1 and 2 when you hit the bak botton the screen will be exactly where you left off.
what you got to go to is Menu, Settings, And Uncheck the (require pattern box) then the tricky and most hard part is entering your pattern You only have 1 second to do so.
*This only works if you know your pattern. My phone got locked because my nephew was messing with it.
