Help How to unlock without using unaccepted SIM card?

How do I unlock my Desire without using an unaccepted SIM card?

I have bought an unlock code, but don't have an unaccepted SIM card to use so I can enter it as per the instructions. However, I did read you can get to the unlock code screen by not putting in any SIM card but I don't see how.

New to android, just finished ordering unlock code for my htc incredible s, entered the code, accepted the code but now doesnt even read my original virgin mobile canada sim card! like ive been locked out! I read somewhere else that its possible to enter the code a second time for sim unlock (first for device unlock?) but i cant seem to find a way to get the screen to enter unlock code. any ideas?

It's usually asking for a code when you install a new sim. If its not doing this, not sure. The device is different from the desire so may have different solutions. Have you tried your devices forum?
