After seeing the security flaws on iOS and Android, it's also possible to bypass the lockscreen by pressing randomly buttons like a headless chicken.

After that, it'll ask if you want to kill the task because it's not responding anymore. Simply press YES, and it's unlocked...!

See it in action:

Edit:
This could also be done on the N9, but it's a bit harder to pull off.

in N9 (for mine experience) often happened that it aksed me to kill lockscreen without pressing many buttons, maybe cause cpu was still at 300MHz
if you want something more secure this never happened with facelock

Facelock drains the batteries so fast... (It uses like 50% of the batteries!)

Thanks for the answers. I obviously tried 12345, 12346789 and so on and I will definitely try the headless chicken method. I dont think I need to worry about the phone being stolen as it was a guy who sold it to me who send me the link to here.

you can also flash the device to remove the password screen though :P
but a reguler user wouldn't know that...

Edit: although, can you flash the device if the password protection is on?
