Wrong Pw too many times (locked out)

Hey so my little brother tried to get onto my vita but i have it so you need to enter a pw before you can get on, but it seems he has entered it wrong too many times, and now it says "cannot unlock the screen. please try again later. Does anyknow know how long before i can log back in?

idk tbh, i have it where you need to put a password in also and wondered what happens after it gets locked, i was thinking maybe you had to call sony to get them to tell you how to unlock it.

ahh i really dont want to call sony, do i have to restore the system or will i eventually be able to unlock again?

Google is your friend ;)

Also, if the message actually said "Try again later" I'm assuming there's some sort of time based lock-out

its actually 45 minutes, i timed it from when it happened. just for future reference
