I apologize then. But still that doesn't change community request for purchase proof.

Hi,

Since I recieved my n900 (over a year ago) the lock code has never worked.

I have never changed the lock code so it should have been 12345.

However, I tried entering that and it doesnt work. I have tried the method suggested but I just get "root::" - no code. Someone said that its 'broken'...

I went to a Nokia care centre who sent it to Nokia, a week later I got it back and all Nokia did was reflash the phone which I could have done myself. They message they sent back to the Nokia Care centre was that "I must have changed the lock code and they cant change it back".

So I have a Nokia N900 with a lock code that doesnt work and has never worked. Is there anyway that I can fix this? I have tried reflashing and contacting Nokia but they're not interested. I have been looking for a solution ever since

Hi,

I just wanted to share with the community that I have now fixed the lock code problem!!!!!!

There was simply no way to get this working and had been told that my phone was "broken".

I tried every method suggested but still nothing worked...

That was until I came across this YouTube video which explains how to reset it. It fixed my "broken" phone so you could give it a try if you're stuck and see if it works for you...

There are two parts:
Part 1- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J7iB2U3NvU
Part 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slQzlCgezh0&NR=1

How did you actually do it?

Could you help a guy here http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=954986, he's got the hashed lock code but still unable to decrypt it

I myself have tried running John the Ripper but still fails. could you tell me what options should I use?
currently I tried using
Code:
john -format:DES -i:digits passwd
and tried with his code, my own code, but still fails
but when I tried with shanttu's code, weird, it works

edit

okay, I admit I did stupid thing (and I believe some of you have done the same exact thing too )
apparently I keep reading "l" as "1", thus making the code uncrackable

So to get your password back, don't risk editing the mtd1 directly, just do this:

Code:
echo root:$(grep -A 13 lock_code /dev/mtd1|tail -1):
then put this in a file and crack it with any DES cracker... wait and enjoy :-)

As a side note (reference), this works with 1.2009.42-11.002 ... we'll see how it changes with time.
just did exactly what you said and it gave: Permission denied
WHAT DID I DO WRONG???

Actually it used to work before i got it reflashed but after that i cant lock my device nor change the code....
it says: Incorrect code

So, does this "a.out" method work with the latest N900? Say 20.2010.36-2.002 ?
Thanks.
