Thank you so much. It worked perfectly!
For newbiews just use new "john's" command

in my case:

• Code:

  -format:DES is not necessary

• Code:

  -i:digits  should be modified in -inc:digits or --incremental:digits

It's now 2024 and like many in here, I cannot get past my N900's lockcode. Yes, I've tried everything and it's not 12345.

Ok... what I want to know, as the SSH route I've yet to try, is how can I SSH into my phone IF I CANNOT GET PAST THE LOCKCODE!?! Or is it possible? This is my dilema. I wish there was a video step by step instructions on how to remove the Lockcode on the N900, without being able to access the N900 itself via xterminal because, as I said, I cannot get past the lockcode. I've reflashed it many times and everytime, as per the https://web.archive.org/web/20240603...g_the_firmware is that the lockcode is left intact no matter how you reflash the phone.

Many of you may have sold or dumped the N900 by now, but not me. I have three of them and they are all locked by different lockcodes (bought as a bundle from ebay, and owner did not know the lockcodes either - for parts only). NO! I will not give up! I've owner the N900 since 2010 and I KNOW IT CAN BE DONE!

Please help me out guys. Australia here. Thanks
ps: I promise no breakdancing

Hello Friend,

I want to inform you that I still have one from 2010 and use it till now for daily usage such as phone calls & texting.

I never put any lock code in my device so hope your problem is going to be solved soon.

P.S: I owe this device a credit for letting me enter Linux world from 2016 till now.

evtl-. this helps...
