Noob alert! Hoping someone might help me with being locked out of my inew i6000+. I was attempting to find menu to set language to English because much of the menus were in German. Somehow I must have gotten into security menu and activated a security feature. I received an audible prompt in German and the next thing I know I'm locked out of my phone. Please help. Thanks

Sorry no one has replied to you yet,
Are you able to boot into recovery? (Hold them together from power off - Volume up + power. If you get a strange Chinese menu, pull the battery and then try Volume down + power).
If you can get into recovery, you can then do a factory reset.

Thanks sniper47. I have tried this but I will try again. In my first few attempts I get an audible message in German which of course I don't understand but I believe it's saying something about the volume. However, I'm still stuck on the same screen. After I have tried it I'll let you know if it worked.

I'm glad you got this resolved. Being locked out of your phone must be frustrating. Being locked out of your phone while having it audibly yelling at you in German is a whole new level.
