forgot pattern lock on z1

[Z1BUFF]

Hi everyone

 

sorry, i rather feel like a an imbecile. Son played around the pass lock and changed it. I have attempted to access the phone without success. I have seen few option around but cant get my head around it.

 

i was convinced pc companion is the safe option, however, i am rather desperate to get this phone up running.

When i hook y phone to the pc , the software pc companion says: phone / tablet not connected. please make sure phone pin and screen lock is entered. Funny enough that is the main isue i intend to resolve in the first place. Guys please suggest. FLash tool is recomended and where to get a safe file etc..

I click in  Support zone new!  then start  with button  held down (The application can not be installed. Try again later) message keeps popping up. What is this anyways? losing my mind here brother...Help!!!

So 1st make sure your phone is switched off and is unpluged from your Pc

Then start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the onscreen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button an image will prompt you of this and when to do it - This should start the repair or reformat process

If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

 Great Help Pal.

finally i took on board the instructions given by you. So, i decided to download an older virsion of PCC which made it update to the newer version imminently, that way all necessary files might have been updated as well. After that followed the steps , smooth like butter . DONE!! thanks buddy!
