https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/z-series/forgot-screenlock-pattern/m-p/3577814#M115373 <P>Hello. I have this problem with my Xperia Z3 Compact. For two years I have had my lockscreen secured only with swipe. It was convenient but my phone would randomly unlock in my bag or in my pocket. Then many actions could happen - applications were launching themselves, phone calls were made etc. Last time, something worse happened - some of my SMS conversations were deleted. I was able to restore it from backup but decided to increase safety to prevent from such actions in the future.</P><P>I decided to lock my screen with pattern. As you can read in topic subject, I forgot the pattern almost immedietely. I know, I am stupid, should have used something simpler, but what's done is done. I am already aware of ways of removing lock pattern and I know that these action will wipe out my entire data.</P><P>I just want to know if performing reset via Android Device Manager or Sony PC Companion will erase my backups as well? As I said, today I restored entire conversation with backup. Will it be possible to restore all my conversations and contacts after reset? There are conversations I really care about, I can not allow to lose them. Please, tell me there is some way...<BR /><BR /><BR /></P><P>EDIT: I know there is a way to keep data safe with MyXperia, but unfortunately I didn't activate it on my phone...</P> Sat, 29 Jul 2017 19:13:32 GMT Pascal92 2017-07-29T19:13:32Z https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/z-series/forgot-screenlock-pattern/m-p/3577814#M115373 <P>Hello.
