There was a bug recently on android phones with pins that if you put a really long number in it let's you access the phone. Can't remember what version it affected though

Hold home button and power up, can bypass the pin in that menu, shows on youtube how to do it.
Missus forgot her's after not using it for months, and had to bypass it when she gave it to her sister.

A factory reset via the bootloader is the only way to bypass it (i believe). No idea if tracking persists beyond this point but anyone with an Android phone should be using Cerberus installed to the System partition anyway (reflashing a ROM is the only way around it).
