Unlock LG VX8600

Hello,

I have accidentally keypad locked a recently acquired, non-activated
VX8600. '0000' does not unlock. I cannot try the last 4 digits of
the phone number nor the last 4 digits of an SSN because I do not know
the number or SSN of the previous owner (who also didn't have it
activated anyway). I can get to the service menu, but there doesn't
appear to be a specific 'unlock' option. I don't care if I have to
wipe the memory of the phone, but I would like it to activate it with
Verizon at some point. What can I do to unlock it?

Thanks,
Bruce

Never mind...got to the service menu and from there got the previously
activated phone number, the last 4 digits of which unlocked.
