The only option if you have forgotton your password is to perform a hard reset.

  1. Power off your Nokia Lumia 900.
  2. Press and hold the Volume Down and Camera keys simultaneously, and then press and hold the Power key until the Nokia logo screen goes black.
  3. Release the Power key but continue to hold down the Volume Down and Camera keys until the phone reboots.

    Hi my dear friend.

    forgive me for the delay.

    I think there is no way to unlock it.

    I wish Microsoft will bring some updates to unlock locked phone with it's live account.
