Re: Help. N900 locked me out
 

Thanks but the standard code doesn't work for me.:mad:

Re: Help. N900 locked me out
 

Any other options other than sending it back to Nokia?

Re: Help. N900 locked me out
 

As I understand it, even reflashing your phone won't reset the lock code. Nokia have to do that themselves.

I assume that you have tried 12345 as suggested earlier in the thread? If that doesn't work, I'm afraid I can offer no further help.

However, if you've got files you wish to get off the N900, like pictures etc., then you can still plug the device in via USB and extract files from it that way as mass storage.

Thanks Shiny, I can't believe there is no way to get back in to the damn thing!

Re: Help. N900 locked me out
 

reflash it using flasher.exe from your pc

when finished it'll be unlocked, you still won't know your unlock code but you'll care less

Re: Help. N900 locked me out
 

That's a good point. Flashing may not change the lock code, but it may temporarily unlock the phone - never thought of that!

Re: Help. N900 locked me out
 

Thanks. where can i get flasher.exe. is it straight forward to use?
