Last night my nokia N900 was working fine when it randomly froze and after turning it off and back on it asked for a lock code. I didn't modify the lock code and all default codes (12345,00000,55555) don't work whatsoever. Is there a way to figure out the lock code without having access to my phone?
Thank you in advance.

flash rootfs then read the first 3 posts of this thread for solutions to recover or reset the unknown code.

Read through this before doing anything:

After you flash the rootfs, you'll be able to get into the N900 again, but your lock code will still be unknown. However, once you're that far, you can almost certainly reset or recover it.

And I'll stress to be careful NOT to flash eMMC, or else all of your files and settings will be lost. If you've made a backup recently, that may be helpful in case things don't go so well, but hopefully not necessary.

That process requires me to connect my USB port, and, although it works; it says that pc suite mode isn't compatible so I cannot start flash process.

Check your Nokia suite for the version, mine is 3.3.86 extra/software updates

If you're using windows on you PC follow here

You don't need the Nokia Suite to flash
