I had done a factory reset to give it to my son, we were in the middle of setting up his account and neither one of us remembers setting a code. Now we're trying to finish setting up the phone but everytime we put the wrong code locks the phone for 5min, then fifteen minutes. Any advise on how to bypass the code or reset the phone?
