Nokia Nseries :: Lock Code Request After Hard Reset?
Nov 3, 2010
So I did a hard reset and I knew that I'll lose the Ovi Store. What it's completely new for me is that now each time I'm starting the phone I am requested to input the lock code. I have given 12345 but a message saying "Code fail" is shown and afterwards the phone works normally.1. Does anybody know why12345 is not working anymore?2. Does anybody know how could I remove this request at startup?3. Does anybody know why the phone does react if I am inputting an incorrect code only with a message "Code fail" - I would have expected a lock after multiple inputs but everything is OK.4. Does anybody know how can I change this code? - without flashing it at Nokia Service Center (just too far from me). I'm curious if 10000 tries would bring something alhough I am not interested in such a test
I have a Nokia 6120 Classic phone and I decided to do a hard reset. The problem is all the tutorials on the net warn me that at some point during the procedure I will be asked about a security code.What if I don't know that code? Is there any way to check if the code is the default one (12345) without bricking my device and paying a visit to a Nokia support center?
I received this phone from our inventory at work. I am not sure who used it before me. But, I do not know the lock pass code. How can I hard reset it without knowing the lock password. Everything I try, I am prompted for the lock password except one attempt. I held in the up arrow, shift key and back arrow while powering on. This did some type of reset. But, the lock password still is not 12345.
I have just updated to Belle on my N8. I have a security code set for locking the phone and this is fine. However, when I switch the phone on I am not asked for the code (as I was with Anna). In settings I went to 'Phone and SIM card' and saw a 'PIN code request' item was set to off. I thought this should be 'on' so changed it. No effect, so want to change it back to off. Trouble is when I try to do this it requests a PIN code. I enter my security code and it is flagged as incorrect. Failed twice, and apparently one more incorrect entry locks the phone. Help please! Is the PIN code different to the security code? Is there a default? If I screw this up, is it Nokia issue or one for my Sim provider (Vodafone)?

After 3-fingers hard reset od Nokia 701 I lost prebuild installed Nokia Store. I tried to reinstall from www Ovi Store. After downloading the sis file (ca 6.5 MB, Ovi Store), and starting the installation, finally I got the message that cannot Install. I think that QT libraries are correct (4.7.4)cause I installed fmobi from ovi store without any troubles. The only one file I could'nt install is Nokia Store.
i cant hard reset my phone (three fingers method). When i keep volume down + camera + menu buttons and turning it on - it just turns up without any difference between normal start up.
Few hours ago I just bought a new N8. It has in it TopApps and Ovi store, I wanted to remove Topapps but it continue to deny the operation. I tried soft reset, hard reset and in the ned 4 buttons reset. I tried also few solutions offered here in nokia forum but still without any sucess. I cant remove TopApps or Ovi Store even after hard reset, the maps are also here - I thought that these apps will disappear after hard reset.In applications I got 3 ovi store related apps installed - ovi, Ovi notifications support packa
I have purchased an N8, last week. After an HARD RESET, i have lost OVI STORE application.I have tried to do re-install it from browser but it's not possible: I get an error during installation!I also tried to reinstall firmware trough NSU but I don't resolve it.
I am trying to download Skype on my Nokia N86 and its not working! I had Skype on my phone before, but had to hard reset my phone, so now I am trying to download it with no success (despite me being able to download other applications with no problem).
I have nokia 5800 XpressMusic. It is updated to V 60.0003. It started showing and error Kern-Exec-3. It is now also showing a wierd no. on the top right corner on the menu screen. I read about it and found that the solution was a reset but I want to know what data will be deleted from the phone? I have huge contacts list and it is the most important thing of the phone.
After some intermittent problems, I did a hard reset on my N8, and updated the phone software with the updates as suggested by the SW update app. After this, I can not install any new software on the phone, not even the support files for Nokia Suite.

I performed a hard reset. Some applications have disappeared from the phone. They are Microsoft Office Mobile, Adobe Reader, PhotoEditor and more. Some were on the phone after purchase. It is somewhere in these applications can be downloaded?
I have forgot the security code for my phone which is activated: I know how to hard reset Nokia 5800 Xpress Music BUT after pressing the 4 keys red, green camera and on i get the screen asking for the lock code and this is the reason for the reset as i have forgot the code.
How to get the video editor back? I had to do a hard reset a few weeks ago after FP1 came out as the phone wouldn't start. Nokia Suite (initially) wouldn't reflash, saying a SIM card was needed (which was in) but beta labs kindly took note of the error report and released a new Nokia Suite that did allow a reflash. This didn't reinstall the video editor however. I took my phone to a Nokia care point prior to this but they couldn't install it either.
