This article offers you several ways to reset the security code on your Nokia smartphone. Each phone from this company comes with a default code of 12345. If you care about the security of your smartphone or the personal information it contains (such as contacts, photos, or anything else important), this feature may be a must. You can make settings on your phone so that access to the SIM card will be blocked for third parties.
So it's important to change the default code. This way you protect your device. However, it happens that some users forget their Nokia security code. Often this is due to the fact that they are not used too often. If this happens, Nokia Support will not be able to help you recover the code. Therefore, there will be no choice but to disable this security feature.
How to reset the Nokia security code: the first way
You can hard reset your gadget. This is not exactly the same as a factory reset. Such a hard reset will delete all data present in the phone's memory. That's why,if you have access to the contents of your smartphone (if it is not locked), please make a backup. Also make sure your phone battery is fully charged before doing a hard reset.
Settings
To reset the security code in your Nokia in a similar way, press and hold the 3 keys below at the same time:
- For classic style phones - call button ++ 3.
- For full touch phones - call button + Exit button + Camera control.
- For touch phones with QWERTY keyboard - left SHIFT + SPACE + BACK.
- For Symbian ^ 3 phones (Nokia N8, C7, E7, C6-01, X7, E6) - volume down button + Camera control button + Menu.
After the indicated key combinations are held, press and hold the power button until you see the message "Formatting" on the screen. Release all buttons and wait until formatting is complete. After this operation is completed, all data from the phone will be deleted, including the captcha.
How to restore the security code in Nokia: the second way
It is possible that this method will not work with your phone. But it's worth trying before hard resetting your device, as it doesn't delete information.
Download and install the Nemesis Service Suite (NSS). Do not install it on the C: drive, as it may cause problems with the PC. Better choose drive D.
Connect your smartphone to your PC using Ovi Suite or PC Suite mode. Close Ovi/PC Suite if the service will start automatically. You don't need it.
Open the Nemesis Service (NSS) package. Click on scan to search for new devices (upper right side of the interface). Select "Phone - ROM - Read".
Now the program will read the contents of your smartphone's memory and save it on your computer. To view this data, navigate to the Nemesis Service Suite (NSS) installation directory and then to D:NSSBackuppm. In this folder you will see a file named {YourPhone'sIMEI}. Right click on it and open it with Notepad. Now look for [308] in this file. On the 5th entry (5=) in section [308] you will see the password. It will look something like this: 5=3 1 3 2 3 3 3 4 3 5 0000000000. Delete all the digits one by one, starting with the first (first, third, etc.). Then remove the zeros written at the end. In this example, the standard Nokia security code is encrypted - 12345.
