Locked out of Android Vortex MID *permission denied with ADB Here's the back story:

I bought an used Android tablet. The guy said the power connector was broken so the tablet wont be charged. I took it apart and figured out the battery was dead. I have an adapter from the wall powering the device.

My problem:

There was a pattern lock. My daughter thought she would help me, and exhausted the 20 attempts, so it's now only giving me the option to use the Google account to unlock. I emailed the guy and he gave me his Google account info, but it didn't work on the tablet. It is the correct info for Gmail, as I tried it on my PC.

I have been trying to use ADB to get in to the tablet to no avail... I'm denied permission when I try to use wipe_data. I can't understand what the problem is.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
I know I'm a bit late, but you can remove the lock by performing factory reset.
To do that:


Shut down the tablet
Hold volume up key and power button at the same time
Recovery boot menu will open. With volume keys select wipe data and press power button.
The tablet will do a factory reset, all data will be lost and pattern lock will be removed.


You probably got denied permission on ADB because debug mode wasn't on.
