Is there a way to access the data on the device without getting past the lock screen? Since it isn't encrypted I'm wondering how easy it would be to get a backup of your data and apps before you do the reset.

Steps On Bypassing or Unlocking
Pattern Lock or Password on Android
Devices Without Losing Data
Now, before you take any action on
your device, make sure you know it well


Requirement For a Successfully
Operation

1. Aroma File Manager 1.80 which
you can download from https://code.google.com/p/rom-cmexmini/downloads/detail?name=aromafm-1.80.zip&can=2&q=
2. Your Locked android device
either locked by pattern lock or
password
3. A Memory card( the memory
card of the android device)

You will be surprised that we don’t
need a computer, that the awesome
thing about this method of unlocking
password and pattern locks.
To the main business proper, how to
unlock the pattern lock or password,
please follow the steps

Step 1
Once you have download the Aroma
file manager , move it to the memory
card and insert the memory card to
the android device

Step 2
Open your stock recovery and
different device has there own way of
entering stock recovery, so I advise
you Google it out along with your
android device name. Once you have
it, enter into stock recovery which is
a black interface

Step 3
once you are there, use your volume
+ and volume – to scroll up and
down and use the middle button to
select

Step 4
Now Mount and storage>> Mount
Everything>> Mount System>> Mount
data>>Mount afs>>Mount
Preload>>Mount SDcard>> Mount
ExternalSD>> go back>> Install zip
from SDcard>>Choose zip from
external SDcard

Step 5
The find the Aroma File manager you
download into the sdcard and select
and select “Yes Install Aroma file
manager” then it will load and the
file manager will open in the recovery
mode

Step 6
In the aroma file manager, go to
Settings and Go to bottom n select
“Automount all device on start ”
which is the second to last option
and then exit from aroma file manger.

Step 7
perform step 5 again and the Aroma
file manager will update and open
again

Step 8
go to the Data Folder>>>then System
folder and find the gesture.key if it is
password lock that locked your
phone or password.key if it was a
password lock and press the file for
long and the option to delete the file
will pop up and delete it

Step 9
Exit the aroma file manager and
restart to the normal interface and
when the device has finished restart
you will still find the pattern lock or
password there but you are to use
any pattern lock or password and it
will accept and your device is
unlocked but note the pattern you
use and password.

5. Scroll down until you reach
“recovery” and the press the
Volume Up button once.
When I select 'recovery' and press vol up, nothing happens, no android logo, the screen just goes black and the phone is still powered off. I'm trying to factory reset to get rid of a screenlock pin that I forgot. I have tried pressing 'factory' and it doesn't get rid of the screenlock pin... The phone seems to reboot, but the stupid pin screen is still there. Anything else I can try?

6. The android logo will now be
displayed on your phone.

I finally was able to get rid of the screen lock pin by using this info:
External Reset

If you are unable to access the phone's menu to perform the standard reset you can attempt an external factory reset.

Notes:

When using this feature; everything is deleted from the device.
Reset will require a minimum battery level of 25%. If you are unable to perform a reset, please charge for 20-30 minutes and try reset again.
1. With the phone powered off, press the VOL DOWN KEY for 2-3 seconds then POWER key then release.

2. The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS

3. Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to select

Tip: If the device reboots, you may have waited to long to make a selection, you will need to begin the process again.

4. The device will display the Motorola logo and then the Android in distress ( logo with Exclamation mark)

5. Press and hold the VOL UP key for 10-15 seconds. While still holding the VOL UP key tap and release the POWER key

Tip: You can try this step, holding the phone in landscape. If you are stuck on step 6, try a force reboot by pressing the Power key and Vol Down key, and start the process again.

6. The device will display additional menu options (Text will appear in BLUE)

7. Use the VOL DOWN Key to scroll to Wipe data / factory reset and the POWER Key to select this option

8. Use the VOL DOWN key again to select YES - delete all user data and press the POWER key to CONFIRM

9. Once the Formatting is complete, press the POWER key to confirm a REBOOT

10. The device will reboot and start the normal power up sequence

Moto g4 plus not accepting Gmail address used to sync device

I managed to factory reset my Moto g4 plus phone...but after rebooting the phone and trying to set up the phone again, it did not accept the Gmail address which I had used to sync the device earlier...is there any way to bypass this requirement so that I can start using the phone again ?
