ok, I'm failing to see why go through that process of registry edits when there's no need. Just goto settings tab, select sound and scroll to ringtone and set a ringer. That will be your ringer for unknown callers. For contact ringers, goto people tab, bottom left select (all people). Find a contact and select. Bottom right select menu then edit. Scroll down to ring and select a ringer. Do that for all contacts.

Do you have some sort of Reg Editor installed on your phone?

You will need to install a registry editing program. I recommend PHM b/c it is free.

You can do it that way, but it would take forever if you had many contacts. I haven't bothered with it b/c I very rarely get unknown calls. I was just posting info I quickly googled for the OP.

ok, maybe I misunderstood.....he said 1 ringer for unknown and 1 ringer for contacts. LOL, 1 is the key word. But, I think he's talking about having the unknown call ringer being different than the contacts (not knowing hot to set individual ringers for contacts, he said he was a noob).
