[solved] is it possible to remove screen unlock pattern (fingerprint works)?

[kinetiq]

Hi,
I've just set up my Axon7 from scratch, after it returns from service, and set up new unlock pattern. I admit, I must've been drunk or something, because can't remember the pattern itself. Currently I unlock the phone with fingerprint sensor.
Is it possible to change/remove the unlock method without factory reset? As I said, the phone reads my fingerpritnts fine.
Thank's for any advice

1. Boot to TWRP
2. In File Manager go to the /data/system folder. Scroll down and find the two files with the .key extension. Delete both of them (by tapping on the file and then tapping the <Delete> button). Then, delete all the files containing the word locksettings:

gatekeeper.password.key
gatekeeper.pattern.key
locksettings.db
locksettings.db-shm
locksettings.db-wal
3. Reboot system.

Is it possible for you to post in the right section (i.e. questions & answers)?
besides from that, the user above is right, you just have to do that

Thank you very much, for your advice.
Unfortunately I haven't rooted my phone yet, and after lecture of few tutorials I'm slightly intimidated, so...
Is it possible to do something with my problem without rooting, instaling custom recovery etc?
I could even accept factory reset, after all, but it asks for unlock pattern as well...

No man, without your bootloader unlocked there's not much you can do, unlock bootloader then install twrp and you'll be good to go

I made some digging, and found solution: Power on+vol up allowed factory reset, problem is solved.
Thank you all for your help.

Hmm... Well you said "without factory reset" in OP... Else everyone could've told you to do that...
