4. Click on generate.
   Once done, a number will be generated, that's the master code for the phone, copy and keep the number. When ever that particular phone is locked with security code and you want to unlock it, even though you don't know the phone's security code, just enter that number, i.e. Master code and it'll be unlocked! 

Method Four

1.   When the phone has been locked, press the normal unlock key and star 
2. 112 and 911 are emergency phone numbers. Enter either 112 or 911 in the security code password field. Next, click the call, end and menu keys in succession repeatedly 
3. Phone will unlock. 
4. For this trick to be effective, you must be very fast while clicking the buttons; don’t wait for the phone to display “Attempting emergency call” before clicking the end and menu keys in succession.

Note that once you’ve unlocked the phone this way; the phone no longer locks when you press the usual “menu” and “*” keys (except it’s switched off). To re-lock the phone; type either 112 or 911 on the home screen, then click the call and end keys successively.

Tip: Try 5-6 times if you were unsuccessful in bypassing the security code. (Be quick in pressing the keys)

Android OS

Did you know you can have an android OS on your PC. When I say an OS i mean you can boot from android and use it as the your PC's OS. This is not an emulator like bluestacks.

It is simple:

First you wil have to get and image of the prefered OS from https://code.google.com/p/android-x86/downloads/list

If you are running on linux, it is simpler, just use the startup disk creator to create a 
bootable pen drive of the image.

For windows you will need to download a tool to enable you do that. you can you Universal USB Disk creator.

Have fun...Good Luck 

How to make a USB Drive Bootable

Using your PC using Windows based OS (Vista or higher), open Command Prompt

1. Type "diskpart" to open the disk partitioning software. Accept the UAC security prompt, if asked.
2. Insert the USB drive.
3. Type "list disk". The program will then show you a list of all the physical drives (HDD, SSD, USB, etc.) that are attached.
4. Identify the disk number of the USB drive (it can be recognized by looking at the size column; it's usually the last listed disk) and type "select disk X", where "X" is the disk number of your USB drive.
5. Type "clean". This will erase the contents of the USB drive, so make sure you have the contents backed-up beforehand.
6. Type "create partition primary". This command will create a primary partition on the USB drive.
7. Type "select partition 1". This command will select the created partition.
8. Type "active". This command will make the selected partition active.
9. Type "format fs=ntfs quick". This command will format the created partition as NTFS.
10. Type "assign". This command will assign a letter to the USB drive, which will make it show under Windows Explorer.
11. Copy the contents of the Windows DVD or ISO from the created folder on the USB drive. this will work on windows vista,7,8 and 8.1.  Good Luck
