retrieve device lock code
 

This is my first thread by the way so hello everybody
I had a recent problem with n900 when i bought it used. The thing is that the device lock code was changed by the user before me and there is no way to find out what it is ?

Thnks

There is a way to find out the (encrypted) code which you will then have to run through a cracker like "john the ripper" to get the actual passcode(which can take a few seconds to a few days, depending on the length of the code).
However, people around here aren't entirely confortable about talking about it, though I can tell you the method exists on this forum, and I have posted about it before.
Understand? ;)

*Aham* Thou shall not steal, thou shall not buy stolen :D

Simple solution is to contact the person who sold it to you. If he the first owner of the device then he will know the password :) Easy peessy!

there was a way using J.A.F on my old nasty N97, It would brick often and I'd have to reload its lock code. If you're interested, I could tell u how to do it with ur N900 cuz i cracked a jaf.ini already containing all new nokia handsets.
