Pattern Lock.. Defeated! EDIT: updated with step-by-step instructions.
Step 1. Download the Android SDK (
Android SDK | Android Developers)
Step 2. Make sure to configure the ADB usb interface drivers (search the forums for more information on this if you're confused.)
Step 3. Plug your G1 into your computer (via usb). (Settings -> Application -> Development -> USB Debugging, must be enabled [it is enabled by default in JesusFreke releases i think])
Step 4. Open command prompt and enter the following:
Code:
> adb -d shell
# sqlite3 data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
sqlite> update system set value=0 where name='lock_pattern_autolock';
sqlite> .exit
# exit
Step 5. Now power off the phone, and turn it back on. Tada! No more pattern lock.

Also you could try this
The solution is:
enter
correct email address
enter "null" (without quotation marks) as password......
null
You are then prompted to enter a new pattern twice and then you are into our phone without factory reset etc. No data loss.
