[Android Central Question]

I tried everything like holding certain buttons, none give me a master reset option

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone?

If the phone has a screen lock (like the pattern lock) it's to keep people who don't know the pattern out of the phone. That wouldn't be very secure if you could just push certain buttons to get around it. (If you do manage to do a factory reset, you'll have to put in the Google password, so make sure you haven't forgotten that too.)
