Re: Resetting lock code
 

I'm sure it's something obvious to most decent geeks but I guess I'm just not geeky enough.
:D
I've tried the package suggested by qwerty12 but I can't make it work, I suspect I have the syntax wrong but I can't figure out where or how. I did manage to get into "root" Busybox or whatever it's called, but I couldn't make it run the a.out.gz package.
:(
Next I downloaded "John the ripper" and tried to crack the thing from there. I did succeed in getting all those options but when I enter the "John crackme.txt" it politely informs me that john is not a recognised command or file or whatever.
:(
Would someone be kind enough to help me figure out;

1) What the correct syntax is to run the a.out.gz package?
2) What I've done wrong with "John"?

or

3) What the infernal lock code is!


The hash code I have is

n900:lWki8yzuDks4

Many thanks.

Re: Resetting lock code
 

This syntax is wrong, please open root terminal and run:

Re: Resetting lock code
 

Ok, I'm sorry I added N900 instead of the word "root" for my own reference.

root:lWki8yzuDks4

Hope that clears up the problem.

Re: Resetting lock code
 

dragonteeth & cute khan1, it says those are not valid hashes. Did you copy/paste or type it in manually? Maybe there was a typo.

Re: Resetting lock code
 

Well I obviously can't copy and paste from the phone to the computer but I did check and double check the original post, performed the process again from scratch as above and just completed it a fourth time with exactly the same result, so I'm confident that I am typing the code as it appears from the unit.

I understand that the part BEFORE the COLON is not relevant, so I've removed that entirely above. The only other thing I can think of is that the first character is a lower case "L" and clearly not an UPPER CASE "i" nor a NUMBER 1.

I can think of no other reason there would be an issue.

I'm sorry you are having difficulty, if there's any thing else I can try please do let me know.

Re: Resetting lock code
 

The code should be exactly 13 characters... the one you've given is only 12...

Re: Resetting lock code
 

Thank you jedi, in which case it is possible that I'm misunderstanding or misreading the output, it's possible that the additional character is a "dot", so that the code should read

lWki8yzuDks4.

Does that resolve the issue?

I am most grateful for your assistance and understanding, and I really appreciate your help.

Re: Resetting lock code
 

Looks better... your code is probably 830124 :)

Re: Resetting lock code
 

It was indeed!

Thank you so much!
