Getting past a pattern lock without having to do a factory reset.

[AC Question]

Ok, so this is the second of many phones I find while out recycling. I want to try to get into the phone but there is a pattern lock on it and I want to find the owner information so that I may be able to return the phone without having to do the factory reset and losing all of the information on the phone. If I have to do the Factory Reset, I might as well keep the phone and repair the screen. How do I go about getting past this Pattern Lock without having to go through with doing a Factory Reset.

The owner will no doubt have reported it missing to their carrier. Hand it in at any carrier store....they all share information so it doesn't matter which carrier.
