Locked out via pattern lock?

[Cloverdale]

This code will get around the G1 pattern lock (you much have adb from the sdk developer tools). Connect your phone via USB, open a terminal, and use the following code:


> adb -d shell
# sqlite3 data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
sqlite3 data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
SQLite version 3.5.9
Enter ".help" for instructions
sqlite> .mode column
.mode column
sqlite> .header on
.header on
sqlite> select * from system where name='lock_pattern_autolock';
select * from system where name='lock_pattern_autolock';
_id         name                   value
----------  ---------------------  ----------
10602       lock_pattern_autolock  1
sqlite> update system set value=0 where name='lock_pattern_autolock';
update system set value=0 where name='lock_pattern_autolock';
sqlite> select * from system where name='lock_pattern_autolock';
select * from system where name='lock_pattern_autolock';
_id         name                   value
