Why on earth would the phone accept a 4-digit lock code if it requires 5-digits in a valid lock code?

Something about that seems very odd to me.. is this a known bug? Because it should be given how much trouble this can clearly cause.

Zikmir -- I can't help you with flashing the phone, but I strongly recommend you get in touch with Nokia before you go that route

Brilliant PEBKAC and yet another one blaming Nokia...

The code is still there after a reflash. And yeah if you don't remember what code you set then maybe you sohuld avoid it.

Hi, please I tried using my phone lock today and put in the default 12345 code but it keeps saying incorrect code.
Please is there anyway that I can find the right code through X-Terminal?

Thanks

Turn your phone off, then hold down the u key on the N900 keyboard whilst inserting the USB cable until it buzzes and you see the USB icon in top right of screen!

Also, the command is cmd.exe, although cmd should work? Find command prompt in your start menu if not (accessories). Also, the program just flashes up and closes if you don't have administrator priveleges for the program, so right click and run as administrator (in Windows Vista/7 anyway)
