! SOLUTION 4 EVERYONE ![/SIZE]

is a lot of text because not all of users are experts, but i explain in details everything. Ignore the "story" if you are an advanced user.
@ novice users. Read all this at least once before get to work.


As i observe, most of users can provide themselves the root: code. (ex: YkZJD6y7iJrw but they unable to crack the code. So...i concentrate this post on that.

If you don't know what is the root:

1st step.: - install the application root sh (from app. manager)
- go to xterminal and type without quotes this 2wo tags:
- "sudo gainroot" ....hit enter
- " echo root:$(grep -A 13 lock_code /dev/mtd1|tail -1): "

* you should have
- root:YkZJD6.7iJrw: (is just an example! yours will be different!)
- copy all in a text file with a easy-name, for ex. "oldpass.txt" on your PC.

*if a blank results appears ( root: : ) change 13 with 14 (it was my situation) like in the photo from my other post.


2nd step
- download the program from http://www.4shared.com/rar/f-nuCGi4/john1701.html (John1701) on PC. or google it if the link is dead.
Obviously, the newer version of John are good too, but you must pay attention for .exe name (In this case John-386.exe, see "run folder.")
Unzip it. Put it in Program Files. (you should have 2wo folders -doc& run )
- copy the oldpass.txt in the "run" folder.
* to easy your way go to "run" folder and open "john.ini". there you will find:

[Incrementaligits]
File = $JOHN/digits.chr
MinLen = 1 ----> modify (it will short the time of the cracking) it to 4 to be sure.
MaxLen = 8
CharCount = 10
if you feel lucky put 1 to 6 and 8 to 6.

Ignore the rest of text. save it from the menu. close it.

- open cmd (you should be familiary with the basical DOS commands.). In win7 you will have c:/user/MyName or documents and settings in XP. change directory (type cd..) to the main ( c:/ )

-change directory to john/run (type cd "Program Files"\john1701\run)

- type: john-386 -format: DES -i:digits oldpass.txt (delete all the space between format and DES!)
(or try john-386 -i:digits oldpass.txt )

will appear:

1 Loaded password hash (traditional DES....)
guesses: 0 time: 0:00:05..bla bla..
That means the cracking is active! Counter is on. You are on the right way. if you hit the "down button" from your keyboard a new row appears with the counter. HAVE PATIENCE!!! can take more than 5 minutes. just wait untill 1 gesses apears. and with this all is finisched, you have the LOCK-CODE.
In my case (see photo below), the lock-code is 52546372

* if "no password to hash " appears is something wrong with the code or with the text document. copy exactly all details, like in the blue text from above if still not working, delete the john folder and unzip it again, repeat the steps.

This is a video but i text all just in case.

tips: if you have trouble typing echo tag:

connect your N900 ( mass storage) . Make a new .txt
. put the tag there. save it. disconnect it. open file manager from n900. open the text. press (from the real keyboard) ctrl+a (select all), after that ctrl+c(copy). close the text file. open xterminal and when you need it, go to to the menu (on top) and select paste. Voila!
