You can use your Google account to unlock the phone.

Here's the steps from Google:

1. After you've tried multiple times to unlock your device, you'll see "Forgot pattern" on your lock screen. Touch Forgot pattern.

2. When prompted, enter the Google Account username and password you previously added to your device.

3. Reset your device's screen lock.
