Well, although I am, glad there is some kind of security towards my phone… I don't remember inputting a pin number for my AVG.  

I was putting back my SIM card and then saw that my phone was locked because of the AVG protection and is prompting me to type in 4 pin number… which I don't remember setting it up.  I put the most 4 numbers that I normally used and it didn't work.  I am not sure what to do… also I am out of country.  Please help.
