Perhaps you could read the owner's manual that came with it?

Can't go wrong by calling the manufacturer... make sure to have some sort of proof its yours I'd guess though.

I just had the EXACT same problem, and 5 hours searching on the web got me nowhere. I set the lockout code, but it will not unlock, and now its locked up. then I called clarion. Turn the deck on with the screen out, then hold the power and play button to bring back up the password screen. Default is 0000 but if that does not work, enter 4356 and it will Unlock!
