So the issue is that my device is requesting a Screen Lock Password as I pressed by mistake the lawmo lock 1234 option on the SIM unlock helper application, can someone help me with the leads on how to unlock it??
Pretty sure the only option is to reset at that point.

What do you mean by at the point, I have tried to flash the ROM, Factory Reset, Wiped the whole system using TWRP, but still same issue persists and it will keep asking me for the Lock Screen password!
is it lockscreen or sim lock?

If sim lock...how many tries left
??
Sincerest apologies as I did not do enough research before attempting to answer before.
2 things to try:
1) Default password is supposedly 1688. I have no way to verify this but saw it mentioned in a couple of threads.
if that doesn't work...
2) use file manager in TWRP to remove omadm and lockscreen apps.

It is a lock Screen Phrase, not a sim lock!

My phone was rooted with no ROM. Worked fine. Then when I flashed RAZR-UI V7.1(btw its a sucky ROM) I rebooted and did all the steps. Normally a pop-up comes up and ask to enter your sim lock passcode. Well it didn't. Then I went into settings and checked my locations & security. I tried to enter my SIM lock code but didn't work. So then I booted into recovery. Wiped everything. Then flash a Cynogen ROM over. Still no change. Help. Idk whats wrong with it. And I tried T-Mobile and they cannot help.
try this
Get your PUK code from your provider.
Get the screen where you are told the PUK needs to be entered and using the keyboard type:
**05*<PUK Code>*<enter a new pin>*<confirm the new pin>#
That will simultaneously unlock the phone and set up the PIN code.
CM7/9 shouldn't have this problem, guess the other roms lack the fix.
try a full wipe on your device (wipe cache/data, evt. format /system from within CWM)
and flash CM7 again.
Otherwise flash a modified stock rom and disable sim pin and flash any other rom, all should work fine after this.

I've looked for where I can enter PUK code but can't find it.

**05*<PUK Code>*<enter a new pin>*<confirm the new pin>#

Okay will do.
Okay, so I just went to T-Mobile and received a new sim card. And apparently on the phone it is saying its locked. This doesn't make any sense.
My friend has a stock unrooted neo v . He accidentally changed the screen unlock password and forgot ..... How to reset the password ?
How to start recovery menu in stock Rom ??
try again and again. after a fixed attemptes may be 10 or 15 it'll show option for forgotten password. you'll have to enter your email id (gmail) to reset it.
---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------
and there is no recovery in stock
I have tried this but after few attempts a 30 sec waiting time comes then again the same thing ... no option for Google account
okay. try this.... u need to make 20 wrong attempts in a row... (i.e. also wait for 30+30+30 secs in between).. after that the only way to unlock would be to signin to ur google account... may works.
Keep trying until u get the dialog which asks u to choose between '30s wait' or 'unlock with security question'..then choose next..then u'll have the option of choosing google account details..select and then click next
if u chose try again 30secs later..then select forgot pattern..and then google acount detail..select and next..

I think you will have to force a factory reset by filing in a wrong password for 15 (or more) times. After the factory reset you can get in normally (but your data are obviously lost). This is to protect your data if your phone gets stolen.

Yes, Flashtool can do it. The latest version works with Nougat.
Hi,
Today, I took the following procedure to prepare my phone for sale:
1.) Using EMMA flash latest "stock' version
2.) Booting it up brought standard android welcome screen, asking for it to be set up
3.) In flashtool, I re-locked the bootloader
4.) On reboot, there is no "Xperia" boot screen anymore, but only a "powered by android". After a short period, I it asking me for a password to boot android (looks like the device encryption password prompt).
However, I have never set a password and I do not known how to continue from here.
Since the bootloader is locked now, I cannot flash with EMMA again.
Does anyone have any ideas how to boot into android again?
Try re-unlocking the bootloader
Did you restored the DRM-keys ?
