Forgot pattern - never prompts for login credentials



I have a Nexus 7 tablet that I haven't used in a while and I don't remember the pattern lock.

The problem is there's no backup password prompt, and it never asks for my google login no matter how many attempts I make. The device is online. It just says You entered the incorrect pattern 40 times. Try again in 30 seconds.

I tried the android device manager and locked the device with an alternate password but tells me that since there is a screen password set they won't use the password I just entered... which is unhelpful. Any other ideas short of a factory reset?
