Removing GSM Sim Lock in LG Fathom?

Sim Lock in LG Fathom VS750 is controlled by SimLockSerurity.dll.
It is possible to disable loading of this file using Registry Key.

In the following Registry Key,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone\SecurityTab
you will find key
ExtendedPIN
with value
\windows\SimLockSecurity.dll

Just rename the value "SimLockSecurity.dll" to Some other Name,
for example:- \windows\OriSimLockSecurity.dll
Save & Restrart the Phone.

After restarting the phone, "SimLock" menu doesn't appear in
Phone Security settings tap.

My phone originally came with sim-unlocked state. After disabling
SimLockSecurity.dll, my phone works as usual.

Those who have their phones with GSM SIM-LOCKED, please test this
settings & Reply whether this settings removes the SIMLOCK.
