2.After the fifth attempt and you’re asked to wait for 30 seconds, tap OK.

3.If the display goes off, press the POWER button to turn the display back on, and then press the bar on the lock screen and slide your finger down to unlock the screen.

4.Tap the Forgot pattern button in the lower right corner when it appears.

5.Enter your Google Account name and password, and then tap Sign in.

You’ll then be asked to create a new screen unlock pattern. If you no longer want to do so, tap Cancel.
