Is it rooted?

No. It isn't

I would suppose either try really hard to remember the password, or re-flash the firmware

How would I go about flashing the firmware ?

dont flash the firmware .. but do a hard reset. For instructions on doing a hard rest.. just google how to hard reset xperia play

I tried that and i followed the steps involving pc companion . The only thing about that is it keeps saying Sony Ericcson server overload . No matter how many tries it always says that toward the final steps

Use flashtool and download one of the stock firmwares from the dev section here
Flashtool is pretty easy to use once setup

You can use WotanServer to flash firmware, Slightly more user friendly.

Does usb debugging have to be on ?

With wotanserver you pull the bettery put the usb in then hold the search button then put the battery and it will boot in to fastboot or something and it will flash it that way, so I would imagine it would not need to be on, I don't know since I have USB debugging on all the time. Flash tool and Wotan do the same thing, and both have instructions before it starts flashing.

Sounds useful. Do you have a link that would take to download wantonserver ?

Why dont you try reinstalling the firmware from pc companion. Just go to software update and repair your software...

Go with wontanserver since its easy and you can pick any firmware version you want and it will download and flash it for you with 1 click

Wontanserver costs money plus I'm not sure if it works for the Verizon cdma Xperia play

It's much easier if you sit there for hours trying to guess the password.... How did you forget it??? It's something your unlocking at least once per hour....

Wotanserver does not cost any money at all its totally free and it does have the cdma firmware on it. Maybe you should just check it out before down playing it

Yes it costs if you want to have it unlocked but that's not the case here flashing is 100% free for SE phones and if he wondering about "other" phones this is the wrong place!

Maybe.. I also dunno about resizing... just copy paste it, maybe size will be less if thats it, maybe a dev should port it..

It works on the new giosIII mod, the newest update (based on CM9), only not released yet.

bad samsung...
going to block S voice on other devices by connecting to a server wich will block s voice without any coe of galaxy-s3 in it...
maybe there comes a workaround, but it looks like it doesn't work any more..
The S-Voice APK, which contained services that were exclusive to the Galaxy S III, allowed owners of other Ice Cream Sandwich-powered smartphones to install Samsung’s new voice assistant (its Siri rival) and perform commands on their devices.
It appears that in the last 24 hours, Samsung (and it’s partner Vlingo, the technology behind the voice functions) have begun detecting requests from non-supported devices and blocking them, displaying the message: ”Network Error. Please Try Again.”
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
By sending a string of data that identifies the device generating the requests, Vlingo can proactively block any device that shouldn’t have access to S-Voice. However, this does mean that it could be possible to spoof the device ID of an unsupported device, fooling Vlingo into processing requests again.

And it would be very nice if it would work when phone is off/locked, that if you say 'hi galaxy', it would open s voice. I think we need a really good developer for that, but I know they are around here

Fake it by adding a custom lockscreen shortcut on cm7, say hi galaxy when your friends look, unlock and talk

if you have fixed the issue please share..also how do i check to see if the imei is broken

Look in Settings, About Device, Status.
Under IMEI it should show a string of numbers. If not, its gone.
