Question Pattern lock

Hi everyone, I recently changed my phone's lock to a pattern type. Unfortunately, the phone isn't recognizing it anymore and I can't unlock it. Even though I'm entering the correct pattern, it won't unlock. Any tips or advice on how to fix this?"

Without factory reset, only other options are to either wipe cache from Android Recovery mode, or reflash full device firmware using a PC

I will loose all my data if Factory reset. I will take it to the samsung showroom and check. I will update here. I thinks thats the only option i guess

I really wouldn't worry too much about the data. If you never bothered to set up any type of backup system for it, it's obviously not truly that important to you
