How do I make my LG BD550 region free?

[CableGuy]

I just got an LG BD550 Blu-ray player and was trying to make it region free. Followed this advice:

1. go to setup
2. go to 'lock', select 'area code' and then enter '0000' twice for password,

I did that, and it then says 'Change region code to what region you require'. I'm familar with all the Region 1 for US, R4 for AUS, R0 for worldwide. However, I get 2 boxes up, and the current setting is 'AU'. There are no options for numbers, just letters. Does anyone know what I can do?
