How to unlock CM Snap V1 & V2 too many pattern attempts?

Unlock CM Snap how-to guide. A good friend of mine brought his old device to me for repair. The problem is not in the phone but his memory. He forgot his CM Snap pattern lock. Due to many failed attempts, the problem is elevated to his phone becoming inaccessible at all.

The second problem is, he also forgot his Gmail password. So, I asked him if he has important data in it. He replied that he needs his contacts, pictures and other files. The good thing is he saved almost all of his files on SD card and some of his contacts are also saved on his SIM card.

As he left, I told him that I will do my best to keep everything but I will not promise. He nod in agreement.

Honestly, the easiest way to unlock CM Snap pattern lock is to hard reset or to restore it in factory default settings. However, since I will try to save all of the files I have to try other ways first; besides hard reset is not always an option. There are instances that it may not work because phones couldn’t enter into Android System Recovery mode.
