If your phone is locked with pattern lock, and if you try different option too many times, your phone will lock out.

It will display a screen with

    User id
    Password

Which should be gmail account information. But even after providing these information, it will not unlock.

If you are willing to reset your data, you have another option. Which is to factory reset using adb of android sdk
