Default 'Network Lock' and 'Unlockaing A Phone'

    Is there a difference between 'network lock' and 'unlocking a phone?' Here's where I'm coming from.

    During the week I shifted mobile supplier from Virgin PAYG to Vodafone contract.

    My phone, Samsung G600 was locked to the Virgin network. I fiddled about a bit and according to the Vodafone helpdesk got the Vodafone Sim activated. So I'm assuming that somewhere along the line the phone became 'unlocked.'

    Now, however, when I go to turn on the mobile I am presented with a message 'Network Lock' with a space to enter a password. Virgin want to charge me £15 to obtain this password, is there anyway I can obtain it for free.

    I've carried out a search on Google but can't seem to pin anything done. Anybody help?

    Got it unlocked locally, same price really, but would rather keep my business local.
