Hard Reset not working.

Hi All,
I am having Lava Flair p1i mobile. I want to remove the pattern lock. I don't remember anything.

I want to do hard reset. I gone through some tutorial and find out some methods lilke power off / remove battery your mobile.
Then press power key and vol up button till android logo appear.

But when I do this logo doesn't appear but phone gets starts.

How to do that?

You don't have to remove battery, just turn off and then turn on using power key + volume up . First hold volume up button then also hold power button, keep like that for 10-20 seconds. If this is hard reset combination then should see android recovery, there you need to select factory reset.

AFAIK , you can reset the pattern using your google account password if you cannot remember the unlock pattern
