I had locked my phone as usual yesterday afternoon and everything seemed normal. I let a call roll to voice mail and heard a few text message notifications come in and when I finally went to check everything before bed, when I hit the power button to wake up the screen instead of seeing the 9 dots to draw my unlock pattern, I had the puzzle piece waiting for me telling me to drag it to unlock the screen.  Thereafter, I simply had to swipe across the screen to unlock it. 

As far as I know, I have not received any updates, my uptime shows 200:43 and some change so there hasn't been a restart and I am just wondering if anyone knows of any reason why I should have suddenly lost my pattern unlock.

It could very well be because your phone HASN'T been restarted in the past 8 days!  Can't think of any reason why it would have reset itself to the swipe method though.  Have you added any recent apps that have system access to your phone recently?  Are you rooted?  Running a custom ROM?

I'm not rooted, I only got the phone just before Thanksgiving so I haven't done much at all with it yet to be honest.  I think the last app I added was barcode scanner, lol.
