ok, thanks guys, looks like i might need to call nokia support. the last thing i want to do is accidentally hit secure device without knowing what the unlock code is...

Always always always install ssh !
the code is easy to recover with that...

(If you don't also forget your ssh pass :P)

Depends on your operator.
Most used are 0000 and 1234 IMHO.

there is no limitation to the number of attempts of the lock code. to your sim card there is.

Holy ****!! I saw this post and decided to put lock on my phone.. for no reason at all, i had allready set it to what i wanted... When i was to unlock my phone again it was the wrong code i remembered!!! Restarting didn't work, still lock on so i tried like ... 20 codes, while in panic.. and finally! it was my social security number :D don't play around with this feature to much..

Well genius here (me) has apparently entered a number he cannot remember. I was able to ssh into the phone last night, but I restarted it and now I cannot even do that. Anyone have advice or should I start looking for bubble wrap and packing tape?

Please do explain the method via SSH. I've been searching for the last half hour and haven't found anything even remotely like you say.

This thread has a couple of methods to actually either reset, or simply brute force the password. I'm kind of guessing this is actually what you mean though? : )
