Forgot my lock pattern password on my Nexus 5

I forgot my lock password pattern on my Nexus 5. I attempt to try different patterns, and the screen locks up to 30 seconds, and says to try again. Now there is no "Forgot Password" option anywhere on my screen below that except for emergency calls, the option to swipe my phone (opens up lock pattern) and my camera to the right.

I honestly don't want to wipe out my phone by setting it to the original factory settings. Is there anyway around this problem? Anyone else have this problem?

Help please would be appreciated! :'(

It`s your phone rooted?

Do you have Android Device Manager installed?
