locked phone

Is there anyway to get into a phone that has a lock code if you don't have
the code ? Can verizion unlock it any kind of way .

Yeah.. Verizon can do that. They did that for me one time.. but not sure if
they do that anymore...

Some phones will reset the lock code to the last four digits of your phone
number when you do *228.
Don't know if it will work with your phone, but it can't hurt to try.

I Locked my LG VX4400 - Phone showed locked and was.
Then I pressed * 2 2 8 Send,
Selected 1 when prompted.
After update finished - Lock code was last four digits of phone number.

I assumed that reprogramming a phone would wipe out the contact list, and
option settings. Not so?
