  • I have tried both the ways and in reset option I was asked for pin code that I don't have please lemme know the default code or from where I can get this code.

  • I have the same problem yesterday it appearsd from nowhere the message "Type password to decrypt storage" without putting in any password, I'm the first and only owner of this Xperia M C1905, that button combination does not work, neither with the PC Companion, that's all a lie, they make you do all that to make you lose precious time,if people just give a default code for that problem it will be a lot easier, people only do that for money, I hate that...
