I've been trying to reset my phone. I've tried 12345, 0000, 00000 and nothing works. I've tried
echo root:$(grep -A 13 lock_code /dev/mtd1|tail -1):
and I got this code:
root:C/v1W3uW1oU12:
I've tried using john the Ripper both on the device and on the phone and cant get it to work. If anybody can give me the code, I'd appreciate it or tell me who to do it on John the ripper on my n900. Thanks.
I think that does not work, because the lock code is not stored under the portion of flash memory which holds rootfs. That is done to prevent thieves from doing exactly what you're recommending.

I've tried using john the ripper to crack your code, but keep failing. tried with my own code and the result is just the same
apparently I've done stupid things by reading all "l" as "1", thus making it uncrackable by john the ripper
try look back at your n900 and see if those code written above is exactly right, and post back the right one
hint. ssh to n900 and copy it directly from the terminal instead of manually typing it
