Hello swbaby921. I have read your post and understand you are needing assistance with the lock code for your device. 

The more common methods of unlocking a handset:

• Enter the lock codethen press the centerof the 5-way navigation pad.
• Press the right soft keyto choose Unlock, enter the lock codethen press the centerof the 5-way navigation pad if required.
  Potential default lock codes:
  • last four digits of the MDN
  • 1234
  • 0000
  • 1111
  • 9999 

If the lock code has been personalized the default codes will not work. Attempt to perform an OTA programming of the device (*228, select option 1). This should reset the lock code to the last four digits of the 10-digit mobile phone number.

Initially yhere shouldn't be a screen lock code, that is something that you would define.  Is your Screen locked now?

If you want to lock the Screen you can go to Settings>> Location & Security and Define a "Lock Pattern" that you can use to unlock your phone in the future.

I ran into this exact same problem, and could find no answers anywhere else at Verizon support or in the guidebook for the LG Ally.  However, after reading the solutions to your post, I tried the default suggestions (1234, 0000, etc.) until one worked, then I set my own passcode.  I hope this also worked for you and will for anyone else who has encountered this issue.
