I wasn't aware of the fact that the disc drive only could be changed up till 5 times before locking permanently - it is at all possible to unlock it and in case it is - how do I do it?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
see if you can find a dvd from another region. Insert it into the drive, when it first reads it, it'll ask you to set the region.
otherwise, try this
maybe use VLC to play the dvd?>?

Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.

Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed. However see this also:

Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:
Is it possible to unlock the disc drive, my children have managed to lock it to one region?
