Hi,

Let's make this short. My N810 got its internal memory corrupted. I make a backup using the Backup/restore feature. Then I flash to the latest version, restore the backup, then all is good.

But now, I want to re-enable the lock code, but I forgot the lock code from when I first set it. I've tried my possible kind of combinations, and I have tried 12345, Nokia default, to no avail.

I figured I could look in my backup, to see if the code was. I got the settings.zip, I unzipped it and navigated to

/Root/etc/osso-aft-init/gconf-dir/system/osso/dir/locks

And there was the %gconf.xml, which I hoped would have the lockcode in it, likewise with my WEP key stored in the backup in a different .xml file.

But this is what it displays

Code:
<gconf>
<entry name="devicelock_total_failed" mtime="1230419174" type="int" value="0">
        </entry>
<entry name="devicelock_failed" mtime="1230419174" type="int" value="0">
        </entry>
<entry name="touchscreen_keypad_autolock_enabled" mtime="1225918800" type="bool" value="false">
        </entry>
</gconf>
Does anyone have any other ideas which could make the lockcode go back to the default (12345), or I retrieve my old one. Thanks.

Well I'm a novice at this and can't figure it, can anyone help please ?. Basically after my N800 decided to whitescreen on me, I reflashed it, only for it to repeat. So I left it for about a month nd reflashed it again, only to restore settings from SD, but now asking for lock code upon reboot!! Why not ask whilst flashing ?!.
