I had to flash (was using becomeroot and apt-get, accidentally uninstalled hildon-desktop), and if you have Windows 2000 (I have a old laptop), it is EASY! I, without doing ANYTHING first, went to the lock code afterwards. I tried to change the lock code from 12345, but it said incorrect code. Then I tried my own, old, code, 52597. It worked. I will let you figure that out on your own. [HINT: The code doesn't change.]

P.S. The original code is in the help files on the tablet.

I read only "What is the default lock code?" So I said itīs on the manual.

The default lock code is not in the little manual that comes with the N900. However, it is in the device's help files.

And then decide if you go with that or with flashing which will not reset the code, but will not ask for the code. I guess the first one is better, because if everything works well you have your device as it was before. And if it doesn't work out you have to flash it anyway ^^.

My password was still the same after flashing - but the first thing after flashing was installing a backup . So maybe the password came with the backup, but I do believe that it was never reset, like described on the flashing page.

PS: To be clear: I always knew and still know my lock code .

THE FIRST STEP is easy but how do you execute when your mobile is already device locked and what can i do with that file ?
