[how-to] recover my XA2 from "Permanent Device Lock"

Hi sailors,
today my little son played around with my new Sony Xperia XA2 and after 10 attempts my phone ist permanet locked:-(
I found the how-to https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002996893 but the article is only for Xperia X and not the XA2 devices
As shown under point 3.2 I tried to unlock with /usr/lib/qt5/plugins/devicelock/encsfa-fpd --check-code 12345 but this doesn't work. (replace "12345" with your correct security code) I checked the files within this directory and I found one file with a similar name (encsfa).
I tried the same command with that filename /usr/lib/qt5/plugins/devicelock/encsfa--check-code 12345 (replace "12345" with your correct security code)
Fortunately this command works for me and my phone is unlocked again.
