If you know your security code and you followed the help in the link provided by coderus and the device is locked, what hope is there from the community?, you know your code but it doesn't work, we don't know your code, you cannot dig the code out of the device, nor can we.

There are no tricks anyone can present to you here, except to say, send the device to Jolla care in Finland, they will reflash it, this means all data is gone and you pay for the privilege of getting your device back working, minus your data.

As per the link given to you;

6. Permanently locked devices
If your Jolla device is asking you for a security code you don't remember, or for a code you don't 
remember configuring with your device, only qualified Jolla service can unlock the phone. This is done 
on the cost of the phone owner, as this is not deemed as a Warranty repair. No data is salvageable 
from a device locked with a code.

Read chapters 1 and 2 in the Recovery Mode article and do as instructed in them. 

Jolla Phone (Jolla 1)
NOTE: This method does not, unfortunately, work anymore with Sailfish 3.

So, it looks like you have to send it back to care.
