Lock Screen - Sony Code

Hello there,

This morning I have been running a half marathon with my Xperia Z3 compact in my running belt. I do not know what happened during the race but it was locked when I finished with the following message :

" Unlock Failed

You have entered an incorrect password, PIN or pattern 5 times.

You have five more attemps before device will be factory reset.

To safely continue please Enter the following :

               SONY

It seems that I have to enter a SONY code but I have no clue of where it can be found and which code it might be.

Is anyone would be able to help me with it ?

Thanks in advance.

What a stupid feature.

Tried typing in sony or SONY or Sony and nothing. Restarted phone several times and tried it. Nothing works. Phone seems fine behind this silly feature but cannot access it.

Can someone advise on how to bypass this still screen without having to reset my phone completely.
