Pattern locks are very useful to protect Android phone. If pattern lock is on and your phone is locked, you need to draw a predefined pattern before gaining access to your phone. It is very common to forget the pattern of lock. Android OS gives you several chances to draw the correct pattern. If you constantly fail to draw the correct pattern, it asks you for Google username and password. The problem is, what if you are not already connected to the internet? How you can turn on data connection or Wi-Fi without being able to unlock Android screen? Android developers should have thought about this problem.
