"Account unlock" when not connected to internet?

Question

I have a Samsung Galaxy Y mobile phone. I see this screen when I press "Forgot Password" in the pattern lock screen that comes by default with the phone:

enter image description here

My Question is: How would my account be unlocked when (i) "Wifi" is turned off and (ii) "Packet Data" is disabled?

Just as a guess I'd imagine the details could be stored in the phone's memory (presumably as hashed values, storing a plain text password would be a big no no). The entered values are then checked against the locally stored hashed ones. — Peanut, Dec 03 '12 at 02:33

Ah, it's not a big deal then.. Just create a Nandroid backup. Do factory reset. And, restore everything from Nandroid backup using Titanium backup. — iOS, Feb 24 '13 at 13:16

Search and download Unlocker or Screen Lock Bypass app from internet (which are no longer available in Play Store).
Push it to the system from recovery (with update.zip).
Start the system.

You should be very cautious about installing random apps from discussion forums... – Cerin Aug 08 '14 at 12:35

You should also mention that this deletes all data in the internal storage of the phone. – aleksikallio Apr 10 '14 at 08:03
