That's been the intended effect it been implemented for: protect your data when you lose device. So recovery path is: delete all data aka 'reflash'

{edit] while in N900 the lockcode (hash) is stored in NAND, in N9 iirc this is slightly different as in: you can't (write?) access the lockcode in openmode, as the storage location gets 'sealed' when the bootloader decides to enter 'openmode' and run an unsigned kernel.
[edit2] basically I guess your situation is identical to this http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=603825
[edit3] afaik it was possible on N900 to set "locked: no" flag by mere flashing of rootfs in maybe up to PR1.2. However I'm sure they fixed that by adding a sort of flag to MyDocs as well, so you had to reflash both, in probably PR1.3.
Sorry I lost interest in N9 / Harmattan when it became clear that user don't own their device since Nokia doesn't hand out the keys for that security stuff
The problem is i am training with this device. But it's not the device i want to bypass lockscreen.
The one i really want to bypass security code will arrive soon. It's N950 armored prototype with Beta OS. I don't want to flash the device. It's a jewel.
So how to find pass or remove security code?
Try to explain me step by step please.
