There's another alternative either use MyXperia or Android Device Manager and reset your phone

but your phone has to be

on
data on
gps on
your gmail account still on the phone

Not quite, run PCC > repair/update > follow the steps > turn off your phone > also make sure that your phone its at least at 60% if not try my other suggestion

To perform a system repair - This will factory reset your phone

Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the onscreen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process

If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP
