HTC Incredible, Security

So I have played around with the new security, where you can just use a finger swipe to unlock the phone.  It's really cool, and I haven't forgotten my swipe but Is there any way to get back in the phone if you can't remember it?  I have not ran into like a security question thing for missing so many times.  I love the security but as far as I know it needs some other way of getting in just in case.  Unless there is and I don't know about it.

There is a way, I purposely did it to see last night. After 5 times, you are locked out for 30 seconds. Then you are allowed one more try. If that is incorrect, you are asked to log into your Google account.

 

You are directed to set up a new pattern. Then I shut of the requirement.

Something must be differen't for us, as I can try well over 10 times and nothing happens.  All I can do is make an emergency call, but besides that all I would be able to do is keep trying a new swipe
