Locked out of Xperia Z

[vi3tl4]

So I'm locked out of my XZ because my baby cousin changed the pattern, how do I get back in? I don't really care if I have to reset the entire phone, I just need to be able to use my phone. Can anyone help me?

Just factory reset your phone with SUS, PC Companion or Flashtool.

how do I do that? I'm locked out.

Just install Sony Update Service and follow the on screen instructions.

Call me daft but I was under the impression there was a back up security screen, in the sense you enter your password wrong so many times and it pops up, or is that just on face recognition?

There is a backup, asking for a password if you enter the pattern wrong. You can't even change the pattern without this pin? Something's wrong here.

Give me ten minutes. I'll mess around with mine and see if you can get around the pattern in any way.

Ps I've just cracked my screen, so the phones getting binned anyway.

Sorted mate. Just keep blasting the wrong code at the screen. Enter it wrong a few times and it will lock you out for 30 seconds after a warning message saying you've entered your password wrong. Now you will notice a button at the bottom of the screen saying 'forgotten password?' click it. It will let you enter your email address and password used for your Google play account. Provided you know it you will unlock the phone and it will jump to the lock screen settings to disable the lock screen.

Good luck.

ok heres the trick i have a z2 also, im loked out by password if u have aces to many users as u can use it to spam the acces on the main user soft reset as manay times, 1st is the main user pops up, click to change 2nd user go to settings of users click owner user again and again back to 2nd user then to owner user, until u have the chance to access ur user owner, i tried this and it worked, after you acess the user phone u have to do as much as possible you can, got to google play account if you remember or dont make another thats ur passage way to phone administrators, once u created the acount in google play, go to device administrator check ANDROID DEVICE MANAGER, PROTECTION BY XPERIA & CONFIGURATION AGENT i would prefer to first use the android device manager more useful for this kind of situation, okay you have now the account on new or old google play account, go to the computer or laptop type android device manager on google it shows sign in sign up, sign in the account type aagin android device manager now the map is shown and ur phone location and other it says ring / lock / ERASE ALL DATA first ur phone must be connected to a wifi then click ERASE ALL DATA then its processing factory reset
