Default sony ericsson w550i locked (HELP)

So I have this phone and forgot my lock password, doh

Now the damn thing won't let me in, so how do I unlock the bloody thing
without having to find some ridiculously expensive service center?

Please help.

TIA,
Pep.

Check in the user manual, if you dont have one try this site out they
have a lot of good manuals and they are free

http://www.theusermanualsite.com/

more specifically try their cell phone link.

Hope this helps!

It is my phone but this code has nothing to do with the provider. It
is phone specific and requires a service center to reset the phone.

As it is, fortunately, I remembered the password after a nights sleep


If anyone else gets this problem, I found that in the UK, service
centers will do this for you for a modest cost of £10.00, providing
you can prove you are the owner.

Cheers,
Pep.
