somehow after 2 years with this device i have managed to lock myself out of the phone. the weird thing is that i don't remember setting a lock code, and it's not the default 12345.

what are my options ?
can i somehow manage to keep my data intact ? or do i have to do a complete wipe of the phone

thanks

maybe you had installed openssh?
use filezilla to access your data from a pc if you have

have you got bootmenu maybe?
there is an option for usb ssh on bootmenu

Other solution is to put meego on an sd. Boot into meego by loading the kernel with flasher, and then ssh to meego, (or do whatever inside meego)

You can decode the lock code but people aren't inclined to help new users with this sort of issue as you may have found/stolen the phone.
Can you provide any proof of purchase or any proof that the phone is yours?

don't have bootmenu installed.
about the second option, sounds complicated i think i rather wipe the phone and try to break the code with ripper.
why did i reboot it ??

i think it's a good time to switch to android
