Cant get into phone

Hello,
I bought a Sony Xperia Z1 C6903 off eBay with a broken screen. I have replaced the screen (I have done many of these), turned it on and now seen that the previous owner has a screen pattern lock. I have emailed him asking for the pattern and he is saying he did not have one set. Obviously can't get hold of his gmail and password.
I have been looking on here and found some threads about downloading PCC, going to Support Zone then clicking Repair Phone and holding the down volumn buttom while plugging it into the USB. Everything goes along nicely until the point where I have to hold the down buttom and plug it in, according to the guide the PCC should start the factory reset automatically but it doesn't.. Nothing happens at all.
Has anyone got any ideas as I am now stuck with a phone I bought and the cost of a new screen which I've fitted but can't get past the pattern..
Thanks

Re-install PCC then restart your PC > run PCC and follow the steps, make sure that your firewall and antivirus its turned off and that the phone's battery level its at least at 60%

  • MY IPHONE WAS STOLEN IVE GOT IT BACK FROM THE POLICE BUT WITH A DIFFERENT ID CANT GET INTO PHONE TO CHANGE I D AND PASSWORD

    MY I PHONE WAS STOLEN IVE GOT IT BACK FROM THE POLICE BUT IT HAS SOMEONES I D AND PASSWORDHOW DO I RECTIFY THIS

    If the thief or someone set up an Apple ID on the iPhone and hence Activation Lock, there's no way you can unlock it. That would require that Apple ID and password and it's not likely the thief is going to provide that information. Call Apple Support and ask if there's anything they can do to help. You'll almost certainly need to provide proof of ownership and possibly a copy of the police report, but it's possible in this situation that they can do something for you, though in most cases of an Activation Lock they can't.
    Regards.

    Hi, Jennifer.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that VoiceOver has been activated and you are unable to access your device.  I have done this myself and here are the steps to disable this feature.  
    VoiceOver
    Press the home button three times quickly (formerly "Triple-click home").
    Accessibility Shortcut
    Managing Accessibility features using iTunes
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to any computer with iTunes installed.
    In iTunes, select your device.
    From the Summary pane, click > Configure Universal Access in the Options section at the bottom.
    Select the feature you would like to use and click OK.

  • Cant get into my messages - please help

    Hello
    I cant get into my messages. I press on messaging and the screen looks like it will go through but then it just returns to my main screen again. My handset is also not receiving texts my friends send me! yet i can bluetooth pics to my handset off other phones - but then it wont let me into the inbox to open them. I have put my sim in another handset and it works fine.
    What are my options? if I reset will I lose all the saved picture messages in the sub-folder i have set up in the inbox? Is there anyway I can get to these and save them! please help

    My girlfriend was having a similar problem with her N95 phone. I'd spotted a couple of posts like this one, but no solution. Here's how I fixed it...
    Used nokia pc suite to back everything up off the phone.
    We tried resetting the phone to factory settings using both the option within the phone, and the reset code, but still couldn't access messages.
    We then entered *#7370# to reformat the phone, and messages were than accessible.
    As we thought might happen, when we restored the full backup in nokia pc suite, the messages couldn't be accessed.
    We reformatted the phone a second time, and restored the backup using nokia pc suite again but this time we didn't restore the settings. Messaging was accessible again, the old messages, contacts etc were all there. All that needed setting up again were things like selected ring tones.
    Hope that helps.

  • I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

    I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I cant get into itunes producer keep getting an error my username and password is incorrect. i have made a new one all good still same error any ideas?

    I cant get into itunes producer keep getting an error my username and password is incorrect. i have made a new one all good still same error any ideas?

    I'm having a very similar problem.
    I'm based in the U.K. and am trying to publish an iBook through the iTunes bookstore. I have made my book in iBooks author 2.0. My iTunes is up to date.
    When I try and publish the iBook I have passed and ticked the Pre Publish Check; and the Create Account, but when I try and download iTunes Producer through iTunes Connect I'm told "Your Apple ID does not have permission to access iTunes Content."
    When I try and re-set my iTunes Store account I'm told "The iTunes Store Account has already applied to distribute content on the iBookstore." Of course it has I just did that.
    If I try and sign in to iTunes Connect through the Publishing pane I'm told "Your ID or Password was entered incorrectly." Even though I've just used it to sign into iTunes (and here), so my password and Apple ID work fine elsewhere.
    Is my access to the iTunes Connect being delayed while my submission is processed, i.e. the processing of my tax and account details? Or am I stuck in a loop?
    If this is still processing (I started this 20 hours ago) I assume that I have to submit the book itself when I can download iTunes Producer at a later date, as I haven't submitted the book yet?
    I emailed the problem to iTunes Store and was refered to [email protected], only for them to say they don't read or reply to emails sent to that address??????
    I'm not sure which part of the process I've reached - if any. I feel I'm in limbo. I have an iBook ready to go - but where is Apple?
    Any help would be most welcome.
