Verizon LG Lock Password

I'm an idiot, I know I'm an idiot, but damn't I was reminded again this morning of how stupid I can be sometimes. To make a long story short, I bought a used cell phone off of ebay, because my old phone decided it could swim. The used phone off of ebay worked great, until I locked the keys and needed a password to unlock them.

I contacted the seller, which dealt with all kinds of phones...so they had no idea. I went to a Verizon kiosk in the mall, they told me there was nothing they could do. So, finally I managed to go to the main store in my city and talk with their technical service area.

To unlock your Verizon phone, your password is the last 4 digits of your phone number. doh!?

    I love you. I was messing around with my new (off of ebay) phone, and for some reason thought it’d be a good idea to press and hold keys to see what it would do. Hmm, little vibrating computer symbol brings up shortcuts, little lock symbol…Oh I locked my phone. *thoughtful pause* *enter obvious codes like 0000 and 1234* *laughter*
    But seriously, my entire life is on that phone I would have been so mad if I’d had to get a new one because I locked myself out forever. Regardless of how amusing it was.
    And therefore, THANK YOU!!!

    Thanks for providing the info. I was trying to switch to vibrate mode and instead of holding the “*” key down, I held the “#” key which locks the phone.

    You are a life saver. I must have some how during the night rolled on to my phone and thus locking it. I tried the round of obvious codes and my own voicemail code nothing worked. I thought I was screwed.

    @Hyebin

    hmmm, that’s a really good question. In this case I believe you fall under SOL. :)

    Good luck and let us know if you find the answer, maybe a local store can help you.

My Verizon Chocolate Sucks
I found out about 2 years ago that my LG flip phone was not water proof or at least river proof.  Therefore I had to spring for a new phone and because I didn't carry Verizon's insurance I had to pay full tilt.  The Chocolate was the coolest thing out
