Like the 3 above me your either a thief or incredibly stupid to forget your pattern. I'm guessing both

+5, thief! I just purposely failed my pattern too much, with Wifi off and unlocked my phone by signing in. Either you are the stupidest person alive--for forgetting your pattern AND email/password--and don't even deserve a cellular device, or you stole the phone.

I actually want to know this too lol. There's 2 display models of the Nexus at my local Samsung shop, and 1 can't be used anymore cos some random passerby came and added a pattern lock on it and nobody at the shop knows how to unlock it xD So it's just that 1 phone left for customers to play with. Was thinking of helping the shop unlock the phone lol, kinda pathetic.

So let me get this straight - at a SAMSUNG shop, they don't know how to reset the phone and need a customer to teach them?

Dude, get a job and earn enough money to buy a phone so you don't have to steal one.

You'd be surprised. I asked why the phone was locked, he just shrugged and said customer put it on. You'll be surprised how untrained staff can be here. It's not like in the US where you have to have a basic understanding of how to use a phone to be able to work in such a shop. Most are just normal people who stand around and look at you while you browse the phones and they only say anything if you approach them first.

Come to Malaysia, I can show you the shop too ^^

And they don't have a corporate number to call so that they can ask a Samsung engineer how to do it?

Nope. It's been locked for 2 weeks so it's still there not being used lol. The other one's still usable. 2 demo units, 1 locked, 1 being used. And there's been no stock for 2 weeks too. Should be coming in anytime soon!

I don't believe that they don't have a corporate number to call someone technical at Samsung. This is a Samsung store, correct?

If they are that dumb offer them $30 for it they might just sell it to you.
