1. Unlock Lock Pattern using Email Option :-

If you keep entering the wrong of lock codes for multiple times, your Android phone will prompt a message saying there were too many attempts at login and you will not be allowed to enter your lock code. When you experience this message, do these:-

1.Enter the Google account and password associated with your phone.
2. Once you enter the correct account details, your lock code will reset and you will be able to enter your phone.

Enter your lock code again, this time making sure that you entered the correct code or pattern.

2. Unlock Lock Pattern using Command Prompt :-

Note :-This method will only work if and only if you have previously enabled               “USB debug mode” in your device.

Download and Install Android SDK on your PC. Extract the SDK file in the root of your drive C. Rename the folder to android-sdk. Now Connect your Android tablet to your computer using the provided USB cable. Make sure that the device is detected by your computer and driver is installed.

Go to the adb directory by typing the following commands on the command prompt window:-

3. Hard Reset your Phone :-

Note :- This method will remove everything from your device except stuff on your SD Card, so make sure you attempt it only if none above method works and you seriously need to unlock your device.

You can perform a hard reset by booting into a special recovery mode. First, ensure your device is fully shut down.

Press and hold the correct keys to boot the device into recovery mode. This will vary from device to device. Here are some examples:

Nexus 7:- Volume Up + Volume Down + Power
Samsung Galaxy S3:- Volume Up + Home + Power
Motorola Droid X:- Home + Power
Devices With Camera Buttons:- Volume Up + Camera
Similar devices will likely use similar key combinations. For example, the Nexus 4 also uses Volume Up + Volume Down + Power.
