You will be fine. Your last option is to reboot it into bootloader mode and factory reset it....that always works. But there is a better option.
Get to a computer or another device and hit the link below and log into your Google account. Lock the phone and give it a new PIN. Google will push the PIN to the phone and you can unlock it. You will probably have to pull down the top status bar to tap on the 'find my phone' notification to bring up the PIN page.

Hello,
I had a problem with my Motorola Xoom WiFi.
My girlfriend was playing with my tablet and couldn't guess my login pattern.
Unfortunately sign in via Google account did not worked and WiFi network was turned off, in Airplane mode!!
So I am looking for way how to unlock it without root access>> is that possible ?
How often did she try? You should be able to wait a little while and then enter the correct pattern. There's also a way to unlock the xoom without knowing the pattern or google account, but no one on this forum is gonna help you with that ('cause we can't be sure that it really is your xoom;-) )
So just try to wait a little while until you can enter the pattern again or try to reboot, maybe the pattern will appear again after that...

Do you have adb debugging enabled? I think you can change the wifi state in adb shell....

I'm sorry >> I didn't enable ADB before
is it a dead end!!
I really just can't do hard reset, with no way of extraction for my data (it's 20g out of32)!
So >> Is there any new idea please !
Heeeeeeelp~!
You may need to fully wipe it.. you'll lose your data. This can be done through a connected PC.
Revert to the out-of-box state (stock/locked). There are many threads on this.
Or follow instructions here (you may need to register): MotoDev
Load up MZ604 Wifi (HWI69) - and go back through setup.
Once you enter your Google account - it will download your software and reload your wifi settings, etc.. Then let it go through the various OTA updates through ICS 404.
You'll have to redo your screens - but you'll get back a working Xoom.
One of my friends phone Sony Xperia C1594 is locked up as she does not remember the unlock pattern.
It was asking for mothers maiden name and she does not remember if she has put it or not. She has tried to login to google account and setting the recovery options but the recovery options are not available in google !
So it looks like option is to hard reset the phone. Searched everywhere could not find the right key combination to do it. Can anyone help me? This is not a rooted phone.
Hey buddy...
You cannot reset Sony like that..
But practically,there is a way to bypass it
Just repair your phone via pc companion
It will install a fresh copy of software in it and naturally,the lock would be gone..
Thank me if I helped you...
if its rooted, srs root program has an option to reset userlock
that's too technical. if you want to reset it, pull out the battery then turn it on. go to setting-memory. you'll see and option to reset the factory setting there. you can also try to change google's security question. you can't find recovery setting on google but you'll surely could change the security question there.

Since the phone is in locked stage(at pattern login page) you cant access the settings. Only the above method works.

would unlocking the bootloader ( which wipes the device) do it ?
Did you try contacting Motorola?
I read that the stock recovery is messed up. If you want to factory reset then chose the option above, ie the text you see in the menu does not align with the actual option that will be chosen.

thanks for reply guys,
I dont want to unlock the bootloader as it voids the warranty.
I contacted Motorola, but no reply.
Is there any other way to factory reset this device?
BTW Happy New Year to all
Did you read my post just above yours? You use the stock recovery, just highlight the option ABOVE the option you actually want within the recovery.
cheers mate!

Do you need Android Device Manager on the phone itself to work?
I got my Idol 3 all setup finally, got a custom rom (AlekOS) and I have it rooter, it's at marshmallow. But I went to put a pattern lock on it, it didn't work but when I went to try and change the lock to something else I'd have to enter it as if it was working. So I entered it and tried changing it to a pin code lock, now whenever I press the lock button on my phone it instantly unlocks itself which I hate, and whenever I go into the settings to change it and it asks me to enter the pin, when I enter it it says "Unfortunately settings has stopped" and I can't change it!
Did you post your question the rom thread?

No.
Forgot my pattern, Android Device Manager is of no use. I guess I've disabled android USB debugging. Can't access my settings now. Bootloader is locked. Is there any way to unlock my phone without losing data?

No, not unless you suddenly remember your pattern.
Odd that ADM is of no use unless you forgot your Google credentials... That would be a lot more serious, because if you factory reset to get around the pattern lock, you will be faced with Factory Reset Protection, which if you were current, has no working bypass on this device.
