unlock mobile sony sk17i from too many pattern attemps

You can check whether or not the phone is "hard locked" as a result of incorrectly entering an unlock code.

tap the following in - as if you were dialing a number to make  phone a call...

*#*'#7378423#*#*

A new "hidden" menu will appear.

Tap on "service info"

Tap on "SIM lock"

Look at the entry for "Network" - there's a number after it.   That number is how many unlocking attempts you have left - so if it shows zero - "0" - then you'll know that you've reached the limit for unlock code entries - i.e.

[x] Network 0

If it shows a number higher than zero, the problem lies elsewhere.

Also - when looking at that "Network" entry, there are brackets in front of the name that will look something like this...

[x] Network 5

If there's no x in those brackets, it means that the phone is already unlocked, e.g.

[] Network 5 - that's an unlocked phone which may also be why the phone can't be unlocked - it already has been.

The learning curve for effective Spring Security usage was pretty steep for us, and we now write the article we wish we would have had in front of our eyes from the very beginning. As die-hard fans of PostgreSQL for its ease of use, scalability and extensibility, we faced a few perks now and then, but having learned how to deal with them, we are now happy to share. Most web applications use security to separate those who have to right to perform an action from those who don’t. In its simplest form, this may mean that registered users may post messages, unregistered users may only read them, while administrators can exercise their free will into editing, deleting, banning or generally annoying people. For more complex and realistic applications, one cannot si...
