I forgot my screenlock code

[MasterWayne]

Hey there,

I have a huge problem, as you might have already guessed from the title.

I put in a new screenlock code for my xperia v yesterday evening, went to sleep and forgot it.

I already tried to update my software via PC Companion, but it says, that i need to unlock my screen to gain access to my phone.

I also tried several system codes like *#*#7378423#*#*, but these also don't work.

I don't want to do a hard reset either...

Can someone help me please? 😕

EDIT: afaicr it was a 4 digit code with no 0 in it

Repair with SUS:

Okay...one problem: It doen't show my smartphone in the list. No Xperia V anywhere 😕

Run SUS in compatibility mode with windows 7.

Thanks, I will try that  

EDIT: It worked! You truly are 'The Wizard' ;D

Okay, but i need to do one last thing: I have to externally save all the data from my phone somehow. Any ideas?

EDIT: And before I really update my software: It says that "all data will be lost"...does that mean, that my games, my contacts, everything will be lost?

Everything on internal storage.The SD card will be intact.

You cannot save anything unfortunately.
