I have enable the screen lock for the LG G Watch, but I have forgotten the pattern to unlock it. It currently has the latest android wear.
How can I factory reset the watch, the screen lock will not let me do anything.

I did the lagfix from the market but nothing shows over the pattern lock screen now. (Even with incoming calls and text popups) How should I fix it beside disabling the lock screen?
Thanks in advance
Edit: I've fixed it. Just reset the lock pattern.
Hey all- I've been using the HTC EVO for the last couple of years and just got the Galaxy S3 on Verizon last week. I'm trying to figure out how to do something on this phone that I was able to do on my EVO, and that's to have separate time out values for the Swipe Lock screen vs. the PIN password lock screen.
I sync my phone to my corporate Exchange server and they enforce the PIN lock screen, which is OK with me. I've set the timeout value to maximum settings (13 minutes), but what I still want is the ability to have the swipe lock screen enabled for anytime I turn off the phone with the power button and then turn it back on so that I reduce butt dialing, etc... But I can't seem to configure the swipe lock screen to come up except for it to come up at the same time the PIN lock screen is activated.
In the security settings, there's the option to enable unlocking "With swipe lock-Use secured lock with swipe lock" and I've selected that, but the swipe lock screen only appears when the PIN lock is configured to display. I want the swipe lock screen to appear independently of the PIN lock screen. The swipe lock should appear anytime I turn on the phone, but the PIN lock screen should only appear after 13 minutes of inactivity. The EVO had this option, but I can't seem to get the S3 to do it.
Any ideas?
Hi,
I dropped my phone this morning and, believe it or not, when I switched it on there was a new (swipe) lock screen.
This new lock screen might be because of an application that's adding a lock screen, but I can't find out which.
So to test some suggestions.
I setup a PIN unlock (I need this for corporate e-mail)
I setup the swipe unlock
So when I know switch on my phone I have to
- swipe (because of the unknown lock app or something)
- swipe again (because of the swipe unlock I setup above)
- enter a pin (because of the setup above)
Ideally I only want the pin unlock, so when I remove the swipe unlock from the security settings, I'm left with
- swipe (because of the unknown lock app or something)
- enter a pin (because of the setup above)
I want to get rid of this unknown swipe lock.
I've gone through the apps I've installed (after I uninstalled a couple) and none of them should have a lock screen
Any ideas on how I can solve this problem
Thanks

Please post Screenshots...
I decided to try Dashclock on my 4.3 S4. To my surprise, the only lock screen options that were available after I uninstalled Dashclock were Pattern, Pin and Password. All the other lock screen options were turned off. Anyone know how to reinitialize the other options? I can't access the native S4 lock screen widget functions now.
I have a pattern screen lock set up on my device. I also have enabled my car Bluetooth as a trusted device for Smart Lock.
It obviously recognises I am in the car as when I turn on my device I get the swipe to unlock screen but this then takes me to the pattern lock screen. I thought the point of Smart Lock was that it disabled the security for those trusted devices?
Am I doing something wrong or is there a hidden setting I am missing?

I think you should keep the bluetooth on
The Bluetooth is on, which is why I get the swipe screen but it doesn't disable the pattern lock.

For security reasons, when Smart Lock is enabled, after any connection to the trusted device the first unlock has to be using the predefined unlock of the phone, and after that the Smart Lock will work as expected until the connection is lost, and then again the same procedure. if the connection is lost
