OK, I did something stupid!

OK, I did something really stupid!

OK, I did something really really stupid!!

- I am stupid

I set the lock code on the phone to see how it works


Ummm, err - yeah - you guessed it - I cannot unlock the phone. The code I thought I created obviously does not work.

So, I tried a hard reboot of the phone by holding down the Green dial key, the '*' key and the '3' key while switching the phone on. I cant seem to get this right, is this the correct way to hard reset this phone?

Anyway can anybody help out here. Or do I have to go to a cell phone repair place to sort this out.

I'm such an idiot LOL!!

PS. Did you try the default unlock code ? 12345

Thanks, I did find that page as well. I did try 12345. I dont know what I was thinking when playing with the lock code.

Here is a little something else I found :

if all else fails, you may need to reset the phone to factory settings (although you'll lose evrything on it, if you do a full format. *#7780# will soft reset your phone. It is different from *#7370# because all data, like contacts, calendar and notes, are not removed. It will only reset the phone settings, such as profiles, themes and shortcuts. The default lock code is 12345. There is another key combination which is used to hard reset the phone (similar to #*7370). It is useful in some cases, for example when the phone cannot reboot. The trick is by switching off the phone then press and hold Call key (Green key) + * key + 3 key + power button for a couple of seconds.

Problem is as soon as you switch the phone on it asks for the lock code, so you cant even enter those codes. I tried that reset method, and couldn't get it to work, not sure what I am doing wrong.

Thank You

Surely the whole purpose of the lock code is to prevent someone from using the phone - therefore it will have been designed to stop you from resetting it without the lock code? There'd be no point otherwise...

It just seems to me that the logical thing to do is to take the phone back to the place where you bought it from. You should be able to provide proof of ownership to them and they should be able to unlock the phone for you.
