On Counting Mobile Lock Patterns

What are the chances Somebody will guess your Mobile pattern lock?
While I was teaching about probability in my Discrete Mathematics class, I came across this problem. I tried to solve it by counting all the simple paths in the graph. My approach was to systematically generate the paths leveraging the symmetry of grids and thus reduce almost 3/4 th of the computation. But I could not find an exact formulae to count them.
