    • Hi, first if you want to see Forgot security protections button appear when forgot security protections at Sony Xperia M, you need to make sure the Internet connections is enable at this phone. Otherwise you will not see any button to recovery. At this situations you have to force reformat operating system of your Sony Xperia M using PC Companion with steps at #option 4 above. Please download PC Companion from official Sony mobile website, after that please follow #option 4 steps above carefully and prepare USB data cable to complete that steps.

  33. Hello,Sir

    My sony xperia c1905 is currently damaged on the screen pad.I can’t seem to type 7(the last digit to my pin password).So decided to try the format option of pressing the power on button + volume up/down.That did not work.Tried the code option,couldn’t type the * button due to the cracked screen.

    Then tried to download all these apps but still couldn’t get any help of success
