PIN block doesn't happen Sony Xperia M

Anonymous
Not applicable

Got the Sony Xperia M today...set up a PIN and promptly forgot it. Bizzare thing is, when I try entering what I think is the PIN, it lets me do it 5 times then I have to wait 30 seconds. So far I'm up to 45 attempts. It doesn't seem to want to block me (because then I can enter the PUK code). Anyone know how I get it to block me?

Duh. Re-read, tried on the Emergency Call screen. Doesn't work, just returns me to the lock screen. 😞

 

Thanks anyway for your suggestion!

Hi,

 

 

It seems incredible that you forgot the pin number almost as fast as you set it.

 

You may just need to keep guessing known series of numbers you use.
