Follow the instructions on this linked page, and you'll be okay:
Unlocking bootloader on Xperias - Click here for further instructions!!!
And yes, it's possible to lock the bootloader to gain rights to official updates thru Sony PC Companion / Sony Ericsson Update Service and get the warranty back also. Remember though that the DRM keys are lost forever but who cares about that?
Btw..

there are some people offering to unlock bootloader for a small fee over at Xperia arc general forum or if you just want to gain root access then you can use doomlord's easy rooting toolkit found at Xperia arc android development forum

I think the OP's problem is that his Z5P is SIM locked. I'm not sure whether he'll be able to use flashtool to change the Rom without SIM unlocking it first. If he can do that and it works great, else he may have problems getting his fone SIM unlocked.

No if you flash simlock.ta it'll brick it and only Sony service can reserect it, you need/must get a pac code from o2 to unlock the device to any network. They should provide one but only if there's no outstanding acc balance related to the imei no for that device. I believe that you can buy them from the internet on places like eBay no idea if this works though never tried it. But without the pac code it'll only ever work on o2 UK network no matter what region firmware you flash
