first post on here so her goes. went fishing tonigh gf got bored and started making patterns with the lock feature welll you guessed it she locked the phone. i dont have any of the gmail details so cant log on and have tried every method i can find on the internet with no luck. any way to factory reset the phone while its locked or will i have to take it back ot carphone warehouse tomorow?:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
 
u tried 3 button recovery? hold home + vol up + power buttons all at the same time and keep them pressed until the galaxy s bootscreen appears then let go. use the volume buttons to navigate down to "wipe default/factory reset"... once that's done, reboot and see where that leaves u...

if u can't get the 3 button recovery to work i'm not sure wot else u could try...good luck!

women ey!
