I have been overseas and not used my phone for six months. When I returned, I discovered that my phone required me to enter a pattern. But as I had not chosen a pattern myself, I am at a loss to know what to do about this. Any help welcomed.
Thanks,maple leaf. I didn't get a Forgot Pattern button, but I did manage to do a factory reset, and when I did that, I got an option to enter my Google account instead of a pattern. The phone still thinks it had a pattern,though, and it won't let me...
Thanks to everyone for helping. I have done a factory reset and signed in with my Google account details, which apparently will take 24 hours to verify. Interestingly, it seems that the phone had a pattern (not by me) and I cannot set a new name unle...
Thanks,maple leaf. I am trying to do a factory reset - fingers crossed And thanks to everybody for the suggestions and ideas. I may have to seek out elves, actually Or at least my daughter.....
