I have a sony xperia sp and more than one code does not fit what to do.
The Xperia T does not help to remove the pattern.
Hello, I downloaded the program from the official website, connected the phone (Sony M2) to the cable, she writes that it is necessary to remove the device from the lock! Although for this I downloaded it! What to do.
Hello, I've already tried everything with the sony Xperia m2 model, nothing helps, please tell me how to remove the graphic key from the factory settings and I forgot.
Bullshit infa., Now I checked it on my z5 compact, there is no need, because I always remember passwords and graphic keys, 2e I have a fingerprint scanner.
I suffered for two days. I thought everything. money must be paid to someone. I have m 2 sony. but it turned out to be not so stupid)) downloaded the program from the official site. But as here they write, some gave out an inscription that the phone needs to be removed from the lock. ... almost despaired. I explain to those who do not understand how it works! download the program. from two items we choose what we need (phone or tablet) in my case, the phone. do not connect it to your computer. choose recovery by.

Shoveled all the sites - the same thing. I will say this - nothing works! Already desperate, but on March 4 this year a miracle happened - the 1143rd attempt! and so! I can already advise! Conclusion if not account- hammer the screen, laziness - demolish the system! Buttons, codes - DO NOT WORK! By at least in updated versions.
I press the emergency call and drive the number, nothing just turns off and nothing appears, it's just a lie.
I have a Sony Xperia V. Can I check if someone is entering the phone or is trying?

Articles and Life Hacks
The presence of such a code protects our mobile device from unauthorized access. But what should someone do who forgot the phone lock code sony ericsson ? Let's try to figure it out.
Lock code problems on Sony Ericsson phones. What if we forgot it?
By default, all devices from this manufacturer have the code 0000. If it does not fit, most likely the combination is different due to the fact that the user himself changed it. The blocking code usually includes from 4 to 8 numbers.
If we have just purchased a mobile device, the lock is most likely disabled. You can enable it through General settings our phone. We go to the "Locks" item through the "Security" menu and select the "Phone protection" item. We turn on protection. Enter the lock code. As already mentioned, the default is 0000.
in order to change installed code, again go to the item "Phone protection" and select "Change code". Next, we follow the instructions of our mobile device.
What about a user who has forgotten the sony ericsson phone lock code and cannot remember it in any way? For security purposes mobile operator as well as the manufacturer's support center mobile technology has the right to find out such a code. If there are no such reasons, it is best to contact the service center for help from specialists.
How can I reset the lock code on my Sony Ericsson phone if we have forgotten it myself?
One of the most effective ways is an hard reboot, that is, hard reset. In this case, the settings will be rolled back to the factory settings. Note that the way to reset the settings depends on specific model of our mobile device. This is especially noticeable in the way you exit to the system recovery menu.
You can also reset the settings to the factory state using special utilities... Before working with any of the programs, be sure to check for the presence of firmware drivers. Depending on the platform that our phone is running on, the lock code will reset to 0000, or it will appear in the flash-era window.
Reset security code via the SETool2 Lite utility. Open it and select the model of our device in the "Phone Type" item. We press "Restore / Unlock" ("Repair / Unlock"). The phone turns off, after which we press and hold the C key and insert the USB cable.
In the "Log" window, a notification should appear that the device is disconnected ("Phone detached"). We close the program, disconnect the mobile device, remove and install the battery back. We turn on the phone again.
You can also reset the code through the XS ++ utility. We open it, select the connection point ("Connect"). On the disconnected device, hold down the C button and connect the USB cable. After the device is found, we mark the item "GDFS". Go to the "Locks" tab, and from there to "Phone Lock". At the end of the reset, close XS ++, turn off the mobile device. We remove the battery and install it back, after which we turn on our phone.
Without going into details, I will say that I found myself in such a situation:
- there is a Sony XPeria SL phone (for XPeria S, and indeed for many smartphones of this line, everything is the same);
- pattern key entered incorrectly 20 times, respectively screen locked;
- login to google account ne executed;
- as a result, the phone wants to be answered to Secret Question, a no one knows the answer, because it was introduced blindly out of frivolity and contains 100% bileberda.
Then there is the story of how I tried unsuccessfully to unlock the phone in different ways.
Outcome: flashing required, it is very simple, it takes 20 minutes, photos, videos, etc. are saved, but applications are not.
BUT: maybe someone else will help you, less radical way, of which I have tried several.
)
The phone is new (one day), so one could take it to the service, maybe it would even be free, but I didn't want to waste time on it. I had never been involved in tormenting phones before, so it was a little scary, but also interesting.
Choosing the answer to the secret question within an hour he gave nothing. Although I remembered the movement of my finger when I entered it, and even the number of resulting words and their length, but uncompromisingly included smart input eradicated all the bileberd that was injected.
Google offers a bunch of options.
I didn't want to get involved with something unnatural for the user (by the way, the phone was not mine, this fact forced me to do only deliberate actions), so I was interested in this live hack: call the phone, then it will be possible to omit top panel, and from it to get to the settings, and remove the block. Of course, that would be too big a security hole and it wouldn't work. Moreover, I did not even manage to press the end button: any attempt to step to the side ends with a message about the need to enter the answer to the secret question.
The rest of the options are reduced to the need reset all phone settings to default- the password will be reset along with them.
The option was proposed pull out the battery, and hold down some buttons there for some seconds. But firstly, the XPeria S has a non-removable (without a screwdriver) battery, and secondly, the settings are in non-volatile memory, so it's stupid.
By the way, reboot takes a long time simultaneous pressing volume up and power buttons -- useful combination for all users, in case of total freezing (although in the 4th android I haven't noticed this yet, but in the 2nd it happened).
Before trying to clear everything, it would be nice to save all data from the phone. In general, in my case, there was almost no data, except for a few photos, but I didn't want to lose them either. But here's the problem: with a locked screen, throw it on a computer nothing will work... PC Companion refused to do this too. There is nothing to do, I resigned myself.
Another great option suggested by Google, which I even believed at first:
press the emergency call button, and enter there * # * # 7378423 # * # *
You don't have to press the call button - the service menu will appear by itself.
V ordinary life this combination can also be entered in the usual number entry field - not only for an emergency call.
In the menu that opens, you can find a bunch of all sorts of interesting things, but we need the last line ( Customization settings) - press it, then - Reset customization and finally, we confirm the action by pressing the corresponding button. As intended, this should reset all settings and restart the phone. Voila, and nothing happened... Nothing at all.
Here are two more interesting combinations:
*#06#
- IMEI
*#*#4636#*#*
- any info about the phone.
Finally, searches led me to Update Service... We download the program from the official website, set it, and do what it says. You will need to select a phone model from the list (there are even pictures!), Connect the phone, perform a special ritual (however, not complicated), and press "Next" all the time. The installer will download latest firmware meters by 300 and will fill it on the phone. All this takes 10-15 minutes.
After that, the phone feels reborn - all settings as when buying... Bonus - all photos have been preserved: though discrete card memory and is not provided, nevertheless, virtually it exists.
It remained only to drive in the settings, put a new pattern and reasonable the answer to the security question.
Only one moment unknown to me: how does such a flashing affect the warranty. It seems like the official software was used and official firmware, and I can't imagine how it can be distinguished from the one that stood before, but you never know what.
I would like to express my gratitude to Sony for Update Service- a very simple, understandable and easy-to-use program. In Russian, unnecessary questions not hurt, explains everything in detail, point by point, with pictures and animation, and even the color scheme is pleasant. I'm delighted to be shorter.
A number of conclusions should be drawn from this story:
1. always follows carefully relate to all passwords;
2. do not commit rash acts, especially drunk;
3.take care of backup
data.
In addition, in fact, it turns out that from the moment when you lost your phone to the moment when all the data from it is copied, it may take less than 15 minutes, regardless of whether a password is set for the screen lock or not.
Therefore, you should probably think about encrypting some data, as well as mandatory installation of a PIN code on the SIM card.
Sony took care of its customers and made one good program with which you can remove the pattern (restore to factory settings) from any Sony phone... It's called Sony Update Service.

Video on example of Sony Ericsson W8:
Many users modern smartphones on the Android platform are very concerned about the security of their personal data, which is stored in the device's memory. This is why they use password protection. Locking with a pattern is an alternative digital combination password and is used on every second smartphone.
But you are probably faced with a situation where the graphic key is forgotten and there is no way to unlock the device. And we will consider mainly the owners of smartphones. Sony series Xperia. So what should we do?
The first and most classic unlocking pattern
Turn on your screen Sony Xperia where the pattern key entry page is displayed. You need to enter the wrong combination several times in a row for the system to report a temporary blocking of the possibility of entering the key. This limit will be valid for 30 seconds, but it is during this time that additional button marked "Forgot your pattern?"
Choose this option. What will happen next? The system will ask you to enter the name of your personal account in the Google system and at the end will require you to provide a password. If the data is correct, the system will prompt the user to select a new pattern.
The second method is a complete system reset
Forgotten pattern on a new one Sony smartphone Xperia can be circumvented by full reset systems. Certainly, this method is extremely radical, but if you did not manage to set up an account google systems and did not really use the device, then similar system will not bring unnecessary worries into your life.
Resetting the system or installing factory settings is an optional feature of the device, which is prescribed either from Android menu, or by using a combination of hot keys. Specific to your Sony models The Xperia keyboard shortcut can be found on the web, but it's usually a power button and volume rocker combination.
After rolling back the system to the factory settings, all data will have to be entered, as when the smartphone was turned on for the first time. Time, date, account data - all of this must be recorded at startup. Picture password will be disabled, but it can be reactivated in the settings menu.
