smartphones should be brazen with tight security that can not be compromised. that was my belief.

Tnx bro

If u forget yo pattern or password lock and cant remember yo signed in id, then do not hard resect, just follow the step-

[adb shell method](root only)
1.Connect yo locked device in pc and open adb shell.
2. Then type

su

rm /data/system/device_policies.xml

rm /data/system/gesture.key (for pattern lock)

rm /data/system/password.key (for password lock)

3. Then restart the device.
Now u can unlock yo device with any pattern and then in Settings u can change lock setting.

Now in unlock screen if u enter wrong sign in id 15 times , unlock pattern will not be shown again and u have to sign in with correct id to unlock. In this state u have to wipe data/reset
but if u want yo contacts ,
msgs, application data etc then

1.connect yo locked device
in pc and open shell
2.type

su

rm /data/data/
com.android.providers.settings/
databases/settings.db


then just restart the device
Now ur phone will get unlocked.
But ur phone will misbehave like
lockscreen will be totally gone,
calls will be rejected automically,
but u can backup everything,
then u have to wipe data or
factory reset.
