I have my old optimus v, i decided to turn it back on, and i forgot my patern to unlock, and for some reason it wont unlock using my gmail credentials, i have to many stuff there that i dont want to lose, its theres away i could disable pattern unlock from recovery? with out losing any data?

please don't move the thread to optimus v forum, i think i could get more help here than over there :eek:
 
What sort of things do you want to keep? i'm not familiar with that phone, does it have an SD card? I can't think of too many things that are part of the data partition that I would need to keep, unless there's no external storage.

is the data partition encrypted? Would you be able to rip all the stuff you need?
