In this video we will show you how to change firmware - if you forget your Password, PIN, Pattern drill, or problems with Android OS.
For Xperia Smartphones / Tablets with Android version under 4.2 you can perform a hard reset from the service / test menu, like in this guide:
Xperia Smartphone Service / Test Menu - Hard Reset
After Android version 4.2 you can't reset password from the service / test menu because the developers closed this door. Now the only way is with changing the firmware.
If your device is connected to the internet and you have an installed Google account on it, look at this manual:
