My Phone Locked On Me When I Shut It Off And Forgot My Password Now Cant Unlock

Security codes, also known as locks, protect cellular phones from unauthorized use. When you lock your phone, you cannot access any menu within the phone, including the message composer, file holders, the dialer and the phone book. All Metro PCS cell phones come with a default lock, active until you change it to a personal one. If you accidentally locked your phone, it can be frustrating not remembering the code.

In order to unlock your phone, locate for your model number under your phone's battery.. Go to the nearest  Metro PCS store or authorized dealers with MetroFlash capability. The employee  will use MetroFLASH to flash your phone. This machine can unlock your phone by resetting it to factory settings, but you will lose all of your information that is stored.  This is a major pain because it takes a lot of time to add all of your contacts again.  After flashing your phone, the default lock code will unlock your phone.

If this works, you can can then create a new password that is easier to remember!
