( UNSOLVED ) HELP my phone is locked

image.jpeg

UNSOLVED 

i give up and will try and factory reset since there seems to be no known ways to fix this

I really need help, i got a new sim card and forgot to turn off the antitheft both from sony and avg, now theres a screen that wants a password, i have tried every password i ever used but to no luck.

I then in frustration deleted my device from avg´s website thinking that would work, it didnt and now i cant even change any settings there.

I cant find the settings on myxperia.sonymobile.com to change the password or unlock my phone, and the same for avg´s site since i deleted my device.

I'm sorry to hear that but if neither MyXperia nor Android Device Manager work then you will have to reset the phone with PCC, also you should contact AVG before you do so.

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)

You will need to have the phone unplugged and powered off when you start the repair process.
