This is ridiculous

in the interests of safety i put a pin on the screen unlock feature today, i used it all morning with no trouble (its set to my bank card PIN so hardly likely to be the wrong number)

Now all of a sudden it says the pin is wrong- but i used it earlier

Whats the easiest way to get back in? There seems to be no sensible way to do it from my google account- wouldnt that be the most obvious route to fix it?
I also did a search and found a page that suggested downloading screen unlock pro from google play but that wouldnt download to nexus 4, then its suggested downloading solitaire as a way of bypassing the lock but that refused to get past screen lock too.

I just got the damn thing and im pretty pissed off now. Help! There isnt even an easy way to get some tech support off google. Youre on ur own evidently

I cant believe that it doesnt do what the nexus 7 does and offer after a no. of tries to let u in with ur google account login. BAD!
