After random unlock attempts my screen for sony xperia tipo dual is locked 1) I dont have usb debugging enabled 2) data is very imp so hard reset is not an option 3) tried all basic things like restart etc. but no avail.
All you can do is perform a system repair which will factory reset your phone
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the onscreen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP
no yet solved
For god sake, we know the data is important. Do a backup then with PC Companion before perceed with the software repair.
