When your data is off, you can connect your phone to internet using a password-less hotspot connection. All you have to do is, slide down your notification panel then turn ON your WIFI to connect.
Secondly, you can verify that your Gmail username or password is correct using another device. In fact, you can change your password If you have forgotten it then try using the new password to log in. Let me know if it helped.

The article above shows different methods you can use to unlock your device, I don’t know which of them you’ve tried, but it sure looks like it the first one.
Anyway, if you’ve successfully signed into your Google account. It will prompt you to set a new pattern.
If that first method does not work, please use the navigation button to see other methods. You can also boot to recovery (turn off the device then >> hold down power button + volume up) then factory reset your device to restore your phone to factory default.
Let me know if it helped. If it doesn’t drop your phone number, let’s chat on WhatsApp. Cheers
