This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.

Bosch WVD245S3GB/05 child lock cannot be cleared with generic instructions

The problem
A Bosch washing machine, model WVD245S3GB/05, was reported as stuck on child lock. The user had already tried internet/manual instructions but none worked.
Likely cause
The most strongly supported explanation is that the wrong instructions were being used and the machine needed the exact model-specific operating instructions. If the correct procedure still does not work, a fault requiring engineer diagnosis was suggested, but no specific component fault was identified.
What fixed it
Use the proper Bosch instruction manual for model WVD245S3GB/05 and follow the exact child lock on/off instructions for that model. If the correct manual procedure does not clear the child lock, further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
Checks to try
  • Tried internet/manual instructions without success
  • Confirmed model number WVD245S3GB/05 should be used to obtain the correct manual

Try downloading the proper instruction manual from this page instruction books and user manuals which should have the exact and proper instructions on how to turn it on or off. You may need some numbers from the machine to get the proper manual but instructions should be on the Bosch site if needed. If the instructions in the proper manual don't work it must need an engineer to find out why.
