Hi. I collect flat batteries and disused mobiles, chargers etc. at my workplace for recycling. In the last lot of phones was a small one called a Sony Ericsson XPERIA. It was a bit scratched up, but I could see that it had a touchscreen. I wondered if I could use it instead of my old Samsung fliptop, that has the tiniest buttons imaginable (which causes some amusing moments and a bit of frustration). Anyway, back to the Sony phone. It has a grid-sort of password. I tried a few combinations with no luck (hardly surprising). I showed it to my 22 y.o. son, who said it was a XPERIA Ray, and a good phone in its day. He said 'This will be easy', and proceeded to press lots of things. Then the phone said 'Incorrect pattern. You have incorrectly drawn pattern 20 times. Unlock with security question' . Then it asks for my mother's maiden name, which of course could be anything. My son suggested I try this forum. Is there anyway I can reset or something to save this phone from being recycled? It would be such a waste. Here's hoping. Cheers.
