3. Forgot Pattern Lock: Now, this is the thing which is quite easy and works via the mobile device itself. As one makes an attempt to unlock their pattern lock, then after 5 or so attempts there is that message displayed asking “Forgot pattern”.
Tapping in this can lead on to an option of entering Google details which would make the things easy.

4. Safe mode: This thing would work, only if you have that third party locking app. In this case, your locking app would be disabled while going through the safe mode.

All you got to do in here is long press the lock button and then long press the power off option. They would ask you whether you want to boot your device into safe mode, choose OK and done!
