Welcome to Android Central! Did your phone not have a screenlock when it got stolen? Are you saying that someone stole your phone, was able to get to the homescreen (bypassing any screenlock you may have set up), then set up a new screen lock before you recovered it?

If you fail the unlock enough times, do you get prompted for your Google account credentials?
