pattern lock!

I had a pattern lock set up on my x10. My son tried several wrong patterns then the phone locked and asked me to sign into my google account to unlock it. I have not set up e-mail on my phone although I do have a google account on my pc. So I put in my username and password and it says details are wrong! I know they are not wrong. Is there any way to reset my phone myself?

i did that also, and somehow i've got the gmail password wrong, so after 4hours of trying
i had to do a hard reset... not fun at all cause everything got lost...

Just download SonyEricsson update program

and then do the update, when it tells you that you have the latest version just re-install anyway...

thanks for your reply to my problem about pattern lock. when i click that link the phone changes to a k800i and won't let me change it back to x10, so i can't get the update page, do you know why? I contacted SE and they said i had to send phone back for them to reset at around £22, I don't really wont to do this if i can fix it myself!

A way to force a reset should be by pressing the middle button and the power button at the same time for 5 seconds. This is for X10 mini though. Try it ,might work.

Hi. I had the same problem. I found that typing the world null as your password and use your normal username (if your can remeber it) in the username box. Hope this helps
