philips sc 201

My uncle ask me to fix is car radio. I've read the instructions, and i have the code, but i think the radio is lock because of to much tries because:
i can push it a little, enough to disconnect the cables. After connect it again i turn the key on, and when i press the I/O radio button appears in the screen "SAFE", and nothing happens after (I wait the 3 seconds).

I don't know who introduced the wrong codes, but now the solution i see is to Reset it.

I've read this "Try leaving it switched ON UNDISTURBED for as long as possible (overnight) and then it should reset itself."

how i do this?
i need to turn the dashboard lights on (the ones when you turn the key a little)?
when i press I/O the display blinks but after leave the button the display shows the date again, is it turned on?
Leaving it on over night the battery doesn't discharge?

thanks for the help. oh... and sorry for my english, I'm portuguese.

I see this forum delivers quite a success rate for finding a code for my philips SC 201 car radio. Unfortunately, to find the right code I need to first remove the radio from the car, in order to find the serial number. How do I remove the radio from the car?
