I am thinking of buying a Sony Dvd Player - Model No: DVPSR170B.CEK - but I need a code to make it region free.
Anyone help me out??

Easier to buy it multi-region ready e.g. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-DVPSR170-DVD-Player-MultiRegion/dp/B00CB1V366/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1375188860&sr=1-2&keywords=sony+dvp
Even though below it gives a One For All remote model number you should be able to use pretty much any one for all remote that has a 'magic' button.
But if you haven't got a One For All remote and the one recommended is around £19 http://www.amazon.co.uk/One-For-All-URC7950-Comfort/dp/B000TUUJW0
you may as well get the multi-region version I linked to in post 2 - works out cheaper too
That remote wasn't recommend, it was just the one used by that person who originally wrote it.
As I did say, you should (and can) be able to use any One For All Remote as long as it has a 'magic' button which can be got for under £10 which is cheaper than the link in post 2.

Saves a load of faffing about.

Try this,
1) Plug the DVD Power Cord to the wall jack, but DO NOT Turn On the player;
2) With the Remote Control, press: Display, Top Menu, Clear and Power;
3) It will enter in the Service Mode;
4) Choose option 2 and then 4;
5) It will ask for an Input Code and Current Code (its 5 spaces), press 1245 and then Zero;
6) Leave all Zero erasing 1245, and on the bottom field all Zero too, then press Enter;
7) So the DVD Display will show a Zero (all Region-Free), then press Power to Turn Off.
I wouldn't expect it to have worked, as far as I know you can't do it with the original remote? - you need a suitable 'One For All', or build your own remote control programmed specifically for the purpose, as I did.
