Re: to flash or not to flash
 

There is no reason to backup the device lock password.. so it would be crazy if you find it in there.

Anyway, the original way that Qwerty has given was a little bit more complicated.

Re: to flash or not to flash
 

Thanks for all the help. I'm in good shape. The reflash did not require me to enter the lock code. I have a feeling that the code requirement during reflash that some people have referred to may be the wlan code which is required to gain access to the Nokia restricted downloads site.

I have to admit I let my machine boot windows so that I could use the wizard provided by Nokia for reflashing which is more refined than their Linux facility. I guessed that this would give me more chance of not requiring the lock code.

I did not see the link provided by Saturn before doing this, which looks promising. I will be careful about using the backup (which I bypassed in the Wizard) from the advice given by GeraldKo and gazza_d.

Thank you all.

Bonny

If you enable the device lock from the control panel, you will be asked for a password even after a reflash.

In my opinion, it is a bug that it doesn't ask for the same if it was locked from the menu. I'm sure you are happy for this bug :)
