    So I added a screen lock to my sony xperia j today because I use mobile banking and wanted my phione to be safe if I ever did loose it but now the phone wont let me access my phone at all! I know the pin because I used my birthday and no matter how many times I enter it, it just will not unlock :(

    Is there anyway of bypassing the screen lock or to get rid of it? :( I need the phone for work

    This any use? ? The bypass is easy to do and involves hitting the ‘Emergency call’ button when the lock screen appears. You then need to enter the appropriate codes (*#*#7378423#*#*) to enter the service menu, the same on all Xperia phones.

    Yes, above reply could be helpful ...

    Click on the emergency Call button and enter the following code: *#7378423*#*#. The number combination 7378423 is the same as "service" on a numeric key pad. Entering this code will open the service menu which is intended for service personnel. Once inside the menu, start the NFC Diag Test and click on the home key. From there, you should have full access to all content on the phone including messages and all apps.

    Thanks for sharing....

    You can reinstall the phone software that will set everything back to factory condition -

    downloaded that! you need to unlock the screen for it to work and thats where my problem starts so I don't know what to do there. Downloaded The "Emma" flash thingymajig too, which doesn't work without a username and password that you can't make, people are saying to copy and paste a file into the emma folder but that doesn't work either.

    I've tried the whole hardware reboot by holding down the power +/- up/down volume buttons and that doesn't work either!
    I've been at it all day and downloading everything...and nothing. aghhhhhhhh........
