2 Forgot pattern lock on a ZTE cell
I have this ZTE Model Z667T cell phone from 2014 that I use only to listen to YouTube if I'm working on my other cell phone or my tablet. For some reason, I put a pattern lock on it and I totally forgot what it was and this phone is not activated and my Google account is still on it but I cannot figure out this pattern and I don't know what possessed me to even make it , so I'm wondering, is there anyway I could figure out how to get back into using it? The only thing that it says after five times of putting the wrong pattern in is that I have to wait five minutes and underneath it says emergency calls only. I even tried to pull the settings down and that's not even allowing me to do that, either. Help…TY!!!
Is this a good question?

What version of Android does it run? Have you unlocked the bootloader or installed a custom recovery previously by any chance?

I put the model number on because I can't even get into the settings at all. It's from 2014, so if I can't get the settings to pull down, I can't do anything but just keep trying to remember what pattern I put in. Like I said in the original post, I don't know what possessed me to put a pattern lock on it when all I do is use it for YouTube. The sound is actually way better than this brand new cell phone I bought a few months ago.

@auntdawny there's no "Forgot Pattern" on the lock screen after getting the pattern wrong 5 times? That was a standard feature of Android 4.4.4 and lower which your phone seems to run.

It says "wrong pattern" and after I incorrectly drawn my unlock pattern, it tells me to try again in 30 seconds cuz it only gives me 5 times. The only thing on the screen, and it's very tiny one, cuz it's a tiny cell, is the time, the date and like I said I cannot even pull down the settings.
