She hasn't got a clue what she did and I have't got a clue what she did. But now I have big problems.</P><P></P><P>It's saying: 'Too many pattern attempts' (no idea what that means).</P><P></P><P>It's asking her to login using her google account and gives me the URL for gmail recovery.</P><P></P><P>The problem is that she doesn't remember what her gmail password was. But that's ok because I've been online on my PC and reset her password - no problem.</P><P></P><P>But now problem #2: Her tablet is not connecting to my wireless hub and because it's completely locked me out, I can't even put the Wifi back on. So it can't verify the gmail password!</P><P></P><P>What a mess.</P><P></P><P>If anyone can help me, I'd be greatful and so would my daughter.... Thanks in advance.</P><P><img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.at/html/@3191CA7235A406D833094BA2DD1CF2FF/images/smilies/011.png" alt=":slight_smile:" title=":slight_smile:" /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 12 Apr 2012 18:01:08 GMT https://community.sony.at/t5/tablets/password-locked-out-the-tablet-please-help/m-p/314342#M2716 GigiFusc 2012-04-12T18:01:08Z Re: Password locked out the tablet..
