For those interested, here is the content of the updater-script :

Code:
ui_print("Unlock Passward - By ADITYA KAMBLE");
ui_print("Mounting System");
ui_print("Mounting Data");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
ui_print("Deleting Pattern/ PIN Lock Keys");
delete("/data/system/gesture.key");
delete("/data/system/password.key");
ui_print("Unmounting System");
ui_print("Unmounting Data");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/data");
ui_print("Done. Created By- ADITYA KAMBLE");

The 2 important lines here are the "delete" ones.

Thanks, but would this be suitable for me trying to get into a locked phone, with a smashed screen? As a new pattern still has to be drawn?

Just got back off holiday, broken touchscreen and need holiday photos!

On a locked phone, this won't work unless you have

1. Unlocked you bootloader, or

2. Enabled usb debugging

Happy to help.

Tried in Galaxy Y

--------------------
I am having my Galaxy Y, which was having the Pattern lock issue where the number of attempts had exceeded and hence wanted to authenticate through my gmail account. The Phone is not having data connection (both data and wifi is switched off) hence unable to authenticate.

I tried this procedure in my phone and all went successfully OK. Once I rebooted the device what I have seen is the same email authentication on the display while I was expecting the pattern lock screen.

Could you help me whether we need to try with some other code to even remove the email authentication?

However thanks for this post.

I made this script for only unlocking the pattern . it may not work for too many pattern attempt problem.
But I found one solution to bypass the email verification . But it need root. If your phone is rooted then Tell Me , I will post the procedure to Bypass The Email Verification.....

Unfortunately, my phone is not rooted. However I did installed the ARM Filemanager in my sd card which allows me to access the phone content. Using which I had copied the contacts & sms database from the data folder.

If I can use this file to resolve, please advice.

Thanks...

No another option rather than Factory Reset but you will lose your data...

If in case you root your phone use this command in adb to bypass email verification

adb shell
cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
sqlite3 settings.db
update system set value=0 where name='lock_pattern_autolock';
update system set value=0 where name='lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently';
.quit

Too Many Pattern Lock ... Email Authentication ... Problem Resolved....

Probably I wonder, sometime a raw solution would help. What I have done today is, downloaded the ARM File manager into my SD card and ran it through CWM. Please note my phone is neither rooted / USB debug enabled or Data WIFI enabled.

Using the ARM File manager I had the option to copy any files from the Data folder. I did the following

1) Mounted the Data and SD card from CWM
2) Flashed the ARM File manager
3) Moved both Patterns & gestures file from my data folder.
4) Moved the 'Settings.db' file from the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings folder to my SD card. So now no settings files available in my data folder.
5) Restarted the phone. Now I could file just the home screen on phone booted. All my data and settings are intact.

So after a week trial and run, I could get the access to all my precies data from my phone.

Thanks a lot for so many comments in this forum which helped me to have a clear knowledge about the android system structure.
