It will give you a value similar to this: sT7wyPv8BzUd6.

Post the value here and someone will provide you your unlocking code.
I have not forgotten my lock code, and it is not 12345, but mine gives this (just empty space):
Code:
Nokia-N900:~# echo root:$(grep -A 13 lock_code /dev/mtd1|tail -1):
root::
Is there other encryption but DES used in some parts of the world (product code)?

Also, after I had flashed both rootfs and eMMC with PR1.3 images, my phone still asked for the security lock code when it booted. That tells me that some part of the phone's permanent memory is NOT reset even if both rootfs and eMMC is flashed. Which part is that and how to reset it?

[Edit: Although I think it would be good if that part could not be resetted by USB connection in any way and phone would not stop asking security code if it has been set to ask it, even after firmware upgrades and eMMC clear, as my device seem to.]
