You're wrong buddy. Not all Nokia keep its lock code after reflash. N-series erased it's lock code to a default one "12345" after reflashing. My N95 does that. But you cannot reflashing the phone without the lock code if the phone is locked.

But there is a way to get around it though you just need to do the key combination self reflashing to out of the box experience.

The 3 buttons rules will erase the lock code completely. And the 4 buttons on N97. But not so sure about the N900 because I have not tried flashing it.

It's safe to copy this file on your computer, just in case something goes wrong
It actually creates a folder (with the name You specified during backup) in the location You choose, and in that folder it creates several *.zip files:
Code:
Nokia-N900-42-11:/media/mmc1/backups/Backup311209# ls -l
-rw-r--r--    1 user     root         1190 Dec 31 12:57 applications.zip
-rw-r--r--    1 user     root          771 Dec 31 12:57 backup.metadata
-rw-r--r--    1 user     root       686716 Dec 31 12:57 bookmarks.zip
-rw-r--r--    1 user     root     10462969 Dec 31 12:57 comm_and_cal.zip
-rw-r--r--    1 user     root          568 Dec 31 12:57 other.zip
-rw-r--r--    1 user     root      3283448 Dec 31 12:57 settings.zip
NOTE -> As You can see from the above I backup to the external memory card (which is mounted on /media/mmc1)...

A 3 key format does not erase the lock code on s60, the lock code remains the same, flashing s60 devices also does not change the lock code.

I still believe it's stored in some kind of security-chip... Maybe it's a part of the processor package.
