How can I bypass the lock screen with my Gmail

[AC Question]

My phone was disconnected. But I need information out of it. I believe the wifi options still work. But it's been so long I don't remember my pass code. I have the gmail account associated with the droid. Is there any way to get in without causing a factory reboot?? Help!
