Locked out of nexus - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I let my nephew play with my nexus and somehow he and his friend managed somehow to put a device password I'm guessing?
So now I can't boot into my ROM. Its in a whole different language asking for a pass code. Boot into recovery asks for a pass code as well and I can't view any content.
Best work around for this?
Suggestions please?

Carbon ROM. Twrp recovery 2.3.2.1

What's up guys! Esteway, you will learn a whole new way to root install recovery etc. Once you get cwm on board just go about flashing as normal. Shabbypenguin made a one click root to make it easier but its almost too easy

I just made the same switch and am happy with the phone. Rooting is a bit trickier at first but fastboot is quite cool and easy to use. Read the rooting instructions carefully.... I scared myself a few times. You won't need odin or heimdall anymore.

You know your rooted when....

I saw this on another thread and thought it was funny so I'll start this out....
You know your rooted when you take your sII to a Sprint store, to get the sIII, and forget there is a live kernel boot animation on it.

The 32gb is identical to every other n7 except for the memory. No reason it shouldn't work.

Yes I was able to root mine right away using the Nexus 7 Toolkit found in the Android Development Forum. Easy Peasy. Option 8 in the kit does it all for you: unlock, root, busybox, etc.

I saw that some of the android news sites were reporting the N4 was getting the update, and they now show as being all the Nexi (plural nexus?) except the 4 are starting to see the update.

New to the n4

Hey guys as the title says im new to the nexus 4 just was wondering if i am in the correct section ? I mean i got my phone off a dude on craiglist and not sure if there is another forum for the nexus or its the same for all devices ? Thanks.
Btw android 4.4 is sick
