Re: Resetting lock code

I have ssh installed on my phone and I have used WinSCP several times to get into the phone also , so my ssh is working fine but now I have managed to lock myself out of the phone, and it wont auto-connect to any wifi network. Is there a way I can ssh in via the USB. I have MADDE developer installed too but I can not access it to setup usb networking since the device is locked out. Is there a way to ssh in via USB if you just have ssh installed and nothing else ?

Any help would be appreciated.

zikmir, you were directed to this thread from this other thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=35998 so you could know how to recover your lock code without having to reflash your device. Then, why are you still asking how to reflash it?

So if you are still interested in recovering your lock code without reflashing, and only if you had installed an openssh server in your N900 so you can remotely access it from your PC, then please read comment #5 of this thread, get your encoded code, transfer it to your PC (scp) and feed it to a DES decoder. A Google search will show you a plenty of linux/windows/mac DES decoders.

Otherwise, if you insist reflasing your device read here or you don't have openssh installed in your N900, presumably then look at this:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware (though you should have been able to find this info by yourself searching the forums, as this has been posted several times)

Good luck.

Re: Resetting lock code

Hi, I also require to find/reset my Lock Code for N900 and hope someone can help:

root:Tc/AzRBNO9/5w:

I have tried Jack the Ripper for hours but no joy, not sure if I´m doing something wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Resetting lock code

I finally gave up and reflashed and then followed the steps in ( http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...2&postcount=22) john the ripper didn't even take one second but what surprised me was it was the same password I knew and had been trying to key in.. I was stuck for two days so there is absolutely no way I typed it wrong every single time so the question is, does it get locked after n number of tries. I had flashed the rootfs fully and then had to apply the backup but installing applications all over was a pain.. was wondering if just flashing the kernel helps remove the screen lock at boot up, and does flashing only kernel mean that applications remain intact ?

Allan: Your password is 21138532

Loaded 1 password hash (Traditional DES [24/32 4K])
21138532 (root)
guesses: 1 time: 0:00:04:20 c/s: 326549 trying: 21138249 - 21138441

It took more than 4 minutes to crack whereas my five digit code was broken under a second so it might just be taking time depending on your processing speed.. hope that helps..
