Enter anything where it is asked to enter the pin and on 5 incorrect attempts, you will receive a message " too many attempts " on your screen and then you will be asked to enter back up pin or your email id and password of your Google account . You can either enter the backup pin or sign in with your email id to get pass the lock screen.
