How to Bypass Pattern Lock Screen on Crappy Android?

**androidforum** · 12-25-2012, 12:19 PM

First of all, Merry Christmas everyone!
So I bought this TV the other day and along with it came this non-branded Samsung Galaxy Y rip off. I decided to make a quick buck off it by selling it online, but the problem is, It comes with pattern lock screen and a combination that I know nothing of. I tried putting my SIM into and calling, but the furthest I got was the contacts and messages tab.
How else can I reset the phone?
Any help would be appreciated!

reboot to recovery and do a factory reset from there.

Tried hard reset, recovery mode doesn't seem to be present in this phone. Any other ideas?

Nope, I had no access to the phone beforehand so USB debugging is unchecked. I guess there's nothing I can do, right? I mean, it doesn't even have my Gmail account info!
