Want to fix this without losing my text messages they are very important. Sprint told me how to do it with a pattern but couldnt tel me how to reset it with a numerical pin
you try your bank pin numbers? street address, commonly used 4 digit numbers? it HAS to be something you know because it asks you for the pin then to verify it... so it's not like there was an extra number when you input it or something...
last 4 digits of your cell phone number?
try calling the phone, then when the phone is on try to press the home button, it probably wont work but...
you might just have to hard reset it..
Do you have any backup apps installed on the phone(i.e Lookout, Wavesecure,MyBackupPro)? Most of these apps backup text messages. Sad, I had this happen to me before. I was getting text from a chick so my girl changed my pin and would text the chick back(pretending to be me, to get information) and locked me out of the phone so I couldnt read or respond to what the chick was saying. Oh the horror.MY ex changed it so that i couldnt get back in my phone... I have no clue
