Try this post from this thread.
Hopefully it will work and you can then use the inbuilt lock on the OS.

As root (thanks to Austin Che), download and run: http://austinche.name/maemo/getlockcode

Or (showing how stupidly easy it is to get.. thanks Nokia):

sudo gainroot
chroot /mnt/initfs/
text2screen -t `strings /dev/mtd1ro | grep [0-9] | grep -v [a-zA-Z@] | tail -n 1` -s 3

The DEFAULT lock code is 12345, as best as I can remember.

Interesting that the initfs busybox has strings (unlike the rootfs one). I hadn't looked too closely at it before, but it also includes a bunch of other stuff (bunzip2, bzcat, clear, deallocvt, dumpkmap, fdisk, ftpget, halt, hexdump, [[, install, klogd, loadfont, loadkmap, openvt, patch, pidof, poweroff, readprofile, reboot, reset, strings, syslogd, udhcpc, unzip, usleep, watch, wget) missing from the rootfs busybox (though some are provided by other packages).

ishida336: yee you are right with default code, thank you very much for this tip but I dont know why there are written application which allows to lock devices because the inbulit application works great, right ? there are any disadventages ?

Uh....Having ot hit the power button and select it?
But I personally don't see that as a downside.
Maybe that you can only use numbers. I would like to be able to use a text password, or a text and number password.

Maybe for you that is stupid, but to me, that looks like... well, I could NEVER forget out that command line string!!! :lol:
