Re: Oh no more help needed! :(
 

Hey, yes I'm sure, I thought the same thing eariler and double checked.
Does it HAVE To be typed into the .txt document?

Re: Oh no more help needed! :(
 

To use it with John the Ripper I think it does.

John the ripper seems to only work with codes up to 8 digits long (at least by default), while the N900 seems to allow up to 10 digits.
Perhaps you have a code that is 9 or 10 digits long, because your hash doesn't seem to be valid for anything of 1-8 characters.

Cheers,
Jan

hmmm :\
Haven't people cracked other peoples encrypted codes on here before?

Re: Oh no more help needed! :(
 

I've just checked - if you set a 9 or 10 digit lock code then the final 1 or 2 digits are just ignored, so it should be a traditional 0-8 digit DES hash.

Can you post a screenshot of the output you get from the grep command? I'm afraid the most likely explanation is that you have mistyped it slightly.

Alternatively you could check out this thread for more discussion and another potential solution to your problem.

I'm beginning to wish I have typed something wrong, because I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to sort this haha

This is the output...

You have posted the wrong code. That's a lower case k second from the end.

With the correct code John the ripper finds your unlock code very quickly. I won't steal your success by telling you the answer!

Re: Oh no more help needed! :(
 

I think it was yesterday I realised I was using a K instead of k. And run the cmd again but still no luck.

Hope if you say you've found it I'll try again! :D
