@Anonymous If you are locked out, I think you will have to do a hard reset, but be aware that you will lose all your data on your phone. Please see this link:

@BambinoGutted but fair enough. I've following the instructions but the device just seems to be 'stuck' now flashing the Samsung logo in white?  Arggghhh!

 

Thanks for your help, I do appreciate it.

@Anonymous I presume that means you've been able to get back into the phone again. Hope you didn't lose too much.:smileysad:

If you just enter the wrong password 10 times it will ask you to reset it with your Google log in.
It would have saved you the hassle of a reset.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
