Droid Bionic, Stuck on too many unlock attempts gmail login screen

My nephew was playing on my phone trying to get into it and it seems he locked me out pretty good. As far as I can figure, this is what happened. He tried to unlock it several times. He then tried the Forgot Password button. He must have tried to some incorrect emails and passwords. Then he turned it off and on, probably multiple times, and then gave it back to me.
I turned it on, and I tried to log in a few times, but it wouldn't work. I then noticed that for some reason, it was in Airplane Mode. Then I remembered the trouble I had when I was trying to register when I got the phone, because I had the 2-step authentication turned on, and couldn't get registered. So I finally got my backup code, and was able to login to my gmail account, and turned off the 2-step authentication.
The only problem is, now when I try to login, it still tells me Invalid Username or Password. I am wondering if that is because it is in Airplane Mode, and can't connect to Google's servers.
What is going to be the easiest solution here, just take it in to a Verizon Wireless store, or do a hard reset?
Thanks.

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
      1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
      2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
      3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
              backup to restore, then restore as New.
    If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

    Oh thank you. Only thing is I have no backup, so i'd prefer to wait if there is a 24 hour lock out... Someone told me they thought there was, and I can't find anything on google to tell me how many attempts you get and how long you get locked out for each time. A friend made me a new passcode when under the influence and now after thinking about it remembers what he changed it to

  • Phone is locked, too many passcode attempts. When I try to restore it won't proceed until i enter the passcode which the phone won't let me. I'm stuck. Help

    My iphone 4 is locked because my son tried to enter the wrong passcode too many times. The solution on apple support says to restore it. But when I try to restore after about 10 minutes of software update it comes up with a message that it cannot continue until you enter the passcode on the phone. But the phone  is locked and you cannot enter the passcode. I'm stuck. Help!?

    You can still bypass this but deleting all of the contents of your iPhone, but of you previously backed up from iCloud or iTunes you can recover te files as it used to be,
    You have to download a copy of iOS software you wish to recover to, you can get from google by typing it, iOS 5.1.1 iPhone 4 etc and find links, once downloaded. it should be IPSW file,
    Turn your iPhone into "DFU" mode by holding sleep/wake button and home button at the same time, you can get tutorials from google or YouTube.
    once done connect to iTunes, note this is the important step, before attempting to recover you should hold "shift-key" at the same time click check for updates or recover, from if it doesn't detect the file here's a link on how to do it, but this link is iOS 4.3 the difference is you will use iOS 5 or later. http://techie-buzz.com/how-to/how-to-update-ios-4-3-itunes-manually.html
    after updating or restoring,
    Congrats you bypassed your password and now restore your back up from itunes.
