hmm,. (the simple way) try to ask help from any of your family members to call your phone, while answering the call press the “home button” if it goes to your home screen you can disable your lock screen,. (the hard way) or you can do a Nandroid back-up and re-install your ROM again and wipe all it all,. if no problem occurs then proceed and reboot your phone to Clockworkmod recovery and select “back-up/restore” then “advance restore” then select “restore data, restore cache, restore sd-ext”, hopefully you will restore your files,. this is just an experiment WARNING: Do it at your own RISK (i have not done it before because i haven’t encounter it ),. if you follow this nothing will change if it turns out unsuccessful because you can restore it back to your previous ROM, apps and everything like it is untouched but the problem with the lock screen will restore also..

that’s not possible eran, after updating you must “reset it all/wipe it all” because CM7 and CM9 are not the same and they do not have the same system and all,..
