I bought it from someone before they moved and it keeps asking for a privacy lock code but i do not know it can u help me
You can try a master reset.
1. Remove the battery and the SIM card from the device.
2. Flip the sidekick open; press and hold the letter 'r' on the keypad.
3. While holding the letter 'r', place the battery back in the device. DO NOT INSERT THE SIM CARD YET.
4. The sidekick will restart itself twice. Please make sure not to let the letter 'r' go until it has fully rebooted.
5. Once it has fully rebooted, remove the battery, re-insert the SIM card and battery and power up the device.
6. Once the device has fully rebooted, all prior information should be
erased from the device and it should be restored back to the default
factoy settings.

I also bought a used sidekick, but I have the unlock code. It is telling me that the device is already registered when I put my sim card in , so I'm unable to use it. Would a hard reset also solve my problem?
it keeps asking for a code that i don't have
I bought a sidekick 3 from ebay and I have erased all the info off of it. and now im at the "Register or sign in" screen and it still has the other users info on "sign in" and i called and asked to detach the username from the IMEI and they said the original user would have to do it. so im really Stressed out.
