My 8 year old has tried to guess my login pattern too many times and now my phones is locked. It is asking for me to log into my gmail account, but I have never used it and consequently cannot remember the password, so my phone is now buggered.

Any ideas onwhat I can do to get my phone back?

Try to log into Gmail via a computer and click the forgot username / password option, this will allow you to reset your Gmail password.

it asks for stuff like last used email address and other gmail apps I have used. I have never used the email for anything else except for my phone. I don't know allthe other stuff it is asking me.

Factory reset the phone from recovery. It's your only hope if you cannot remember your Google account details. Everything will be wiped/lost off the phone.

Well pay attention when you get to 10,000 as it's normal to lay on a party for your pals!
