Help. N900 locked me out
 
I know this sounds strange but my n900 has locked me out. somehow while it was in my pocket the touch screen has activated and somehow set a lock code that I don't know? I know this sounds crazy but I can't believe it either.

So now I have a locked n900 that does not have ssh active on it. I can see and access the n900 drive when I connect it via usb to my computer though.

Is there any way I can get past the lock or reset it?

thanks in advance.

Try 12345
This is the code for lock/unlock by default on N900.

Regards.

I always think the same with these posts but it's possible he pressed the power button then secure device hence locking the phone accidently. I have a password set just in case mine goes missing. Bit pointless though cause while I can flash the phone and the code remains the same the phone doesn't remember to ask for the code again at boot after a fresh firmware reinstall. Perhaps this is a bug?

This happens to me quite often. The solution is to turn on "auto lock" so even if you dont manually lock it while its in your case/pocket it will lock itself and stop accidently presses.

Amazing how random pressure on the screen can do do complex tasks/change settings/remove shortcuts and download illegal images :P

Just a bit OT
i called 110 (the same like 911 for germany) several times with my old phone, even with the keypad locked.
i felt a bit bad about it, especially since it happend several times when i was a bit drunk.
So my current phone is a Slider. (N900 doesnt count as phone for me, it rather replaced my Netbook)

this exact same thing happened to me 3 days ago. the default codes don't work and nokia simply said I needed to mail it in. Just crazy that this could happen and apparently to multiple folks.

I can't believe it either. unfortunately i am back on an iphone until I can figure a way around the lock.
