Do a full wipe in the dialpad ( *2767*3855# ) and create a new account in Google setup so you can use the phone again.

Go to Google Accounts and click on the link Can't access your account?. Follow the prompts to reset the password, that way your friend won't lose any apps associated with her current account.

But she even forget the google account email and the secondary email
What will be delete after wiping?
because she dont hv sd card in the phone
Will the photos be deleted?
any method to backup things in the phone??
Thanks

the only option for you left is the FULL WIPE and by doing that you will lose all the data...

Thanks for replying.
By the data, do u mean including the photos ?
is wiping mean to delete everything and restore to a new phone?
Thank you.

If she has totally forgotten her account she will also lose all apps she has paid for, anything she has backed up to Google (contacts, calendar, etc) or at least she will have lost access to them
Seems your "joke" isn't so funny now

Forgot it all is fishy and smells like someone does not own the phone in question .

Define "lose everything". Factory reset will reset any user data, which means: all your customized settings including email and password, text/multimedia messages. It will also temporarily wipe out your contacts list and calendar, but when you enter your email and password again it'll automatically restore those. Google backs those up automatically.
Any photos and music and such will be stored on your SD card so those will not be wiped out.
There is NO other choice in order to bypass the lock pattern.
Apps will still be on there, just lose the apps' settings (reset to default).
If you have any concerns about anything else in particular just ask and I'll tell you whether it'll be safe.
Actually, factory reset deletes all of that apps as well. However, after initializing your phone after the first boot of a factory reset, when you go into the market the first time and go to the "downloads" tab, all of the apps that you had installed - free and paid - will be there. Install everything that you want back without leaving the market - only the paid apps that you did not install the first time will probably be there after that.
Can't you change the pattern with the gmail account?

Have you tried a flashover of your rom? Not sure if that will help though.

I registered my in gmail only for the phone for a year ago, i usually not use other mails than my hotmail account. I cant remember my password to the gmail account, also the security answer for gmail
You're boned in that case. Time to bite the bullet (or you could sit around for another week waiting for an answer that's not going to come & be without your phone).
Isn't there a way to use adb to delete the file that contains the pass code lock?
there is a backup email in the Gmail account restore, maybe u were Lucky to put ur Hotmail address there?
another way u can use:
go to recovery make full backup
Flash New rom
transfer backup to computer
locate What u need

Nope, this phone was never been "touched". I dont have an idea how to do it, can some one please send a link or something
oh boy....
try this.
Or ask Gmail support to help.
I mean, don't even consider doing a hard reset because of a forgotten password...............
Hmm this story sounding fishy... stolen?
Doesn't matter, it's an SII that needs help.
Anyways, if it is stolen, the owner will locate it via samsung dive (and now he's reseting the phone ).
Why the hell should the phone be stolen if i want the data ? It is important for me the data. I can send a pic of my phone and the conract i got from Telia.
I need to rescue the data of this phone, please help me to bypass it.

What type of data is it?
You should be able to just copy it from internal/external via USB, Just boot into recovery and mount USB via storage menu.

Thank you I had some immportant data there.
Factory reset takes you to the Original ROM's state, no settings, no apps.
SD card won't be touched in any way.

I think hard reset means rebooting your phone by holding down the power button.. Meh anyway I understand what you meant.
Well just to brainstorm, HTC comes with a default integration with drop box. Meaning all your photo's gets uploaded automatically to dropbox unless you disable it. So, First off check dropbox first, you should atleast have some photos since nobody disables "dropbox" that immediate.
Next time, If you have important stuff on your phone, try to back them up on the pc, and try to use a cloud service like what i said "dropbox" or "google drive" or any other type. Or just upload to facebook
Best of luck and hope you get the photos back

Now that you "factory reset" you should have an empty SD Card, so if you are "interested" in rooting or think you might be , you should unlock the bootloader now before your phone becomes filled with apps again, since the bootloader unlocking will require you to "erase" the data AGAIN.
Just a tip although you might not want to root, unlocking is different from rooting though, so you are not really "rooted" as per say. Anyway best of luck, if you are interested in knowing the difference there is a link in my signature explaining that or you can just google or check the forums, or not Best of luck

no no I think it was a misunderstanding
HTC One X+ does not have SD Card
The purpose of the "recovery", was "Data Recovery" and bring deleted files back! not CWM recovery or other
i am looking for app for recovering my deleted photos since my last factory reset! i have stock rom on my phone now and i dont want to root it
because all "Data recovery" apps want root access

I understand just fine, you misunderstood what i said. What I said was, now that you sadly lost all your data, you might want to take this chance and root since the step of unlocking the "bootloader" itself will make you erase the data again. It was an offtopic out of content advice , just for the future.
As for your issue I already said all what I know, best of luck and maybe someone else knows

[Q] Lost contacts after flash rom

my phone suddenly stuck on logo and it was STOCK...so i rooted it and flaash custom rom without wipe...now i have 0 contacts ((((( ....0 messages....i don't even remember my google password...how i can recovery all of these? PLSSS
Recover your google account password to see if you can sync them back. Otherwise, that's it, you don't have a backup, so not sure what you want to do.
I thought I can find a way to restore them because I didn't deleted anything... Just flashed another rom....

if you had sync or backup to dropbox etc you can get back if you didn't ,nothing to do,you can get back your google password using google password recovery

Flashing a custom rom without wipes is usually a no go. If you didn't end up with a bootloop it's most probably because the zip made the necesary wipes, or it deleted the stock messaging and contact apps before replacing them with the rom's own apps.

Perhaps it's a blessing that it wiped. Dealing with a bloop would be harder imo

Yeah lol.
I lost all contacts when I sold my old phone without backing up contacts.
But if you had the sim on non-android phone before (like me), maybe some of the contacts are still stored there?
