5610 - memory card lock

My memory card is locked with password after firmware upgrade and factory reset. However, I forget my password. (I think that i didn't input any password.) How can I get back the password?
In the worst case, I give up all the data in my memory card. Can i format in order to use my memory card again? Should I use the phone format ie. "Options" > "Format Card"? Or should i pick out the card from the phone and use the computer to format? Thanks.

I haven't tried this method before but I hope that it really works in your case. However, I tried to find a file which store the password by using FExlporer. I couldn't find it. Finally, I gave it up and bought a new one. If you don't have any important information, I suggest that you buy a new card. Don't waste too much time on this.
Indeed, there are many bugs in my 5610 phone just like
1. suddenly auto-reboot the phone, esp listening to music.
2. When I listen to music and someone sends you an sms, the phone is hanged and I have to pick out my battery. Reboot the phone.
3. The phone is unable to translate the incoming sms to a sender's name which is in my phone book.
Now, i dare not to upgrade the firmware. Because it may not be able to solve my problem but lock my memory card. This is the worst nokia phone that i have used.

  • Memory card lock

    Have a brand new elph 520 HS.  First time trying to operate receive "Memory Card Locked".  Purchased a brand new memory card.  Same error.  Can't format, the "format" option remains in the background and is not selectable

    Are these cards from other devices like a cell phone etc? The idea that you're using an adapter introduces more ways to run into problems.

  • Memory card locked, can't take pictures ... help!

    Camera says "Memory card locked", my grand baby is coming over this afternoon ! What to do...

    Good to hear it is working now! This depends on your camera's model number and the type of memory card you are using. As previously posted by USER-944926 and KimberlyS, memory card have a switch you can slide to protect the images and prevent accidental erasure. You can refer to the image below to locate the lock swtich of a Memory Stick / Memory Stick Pro (left) and an SD memory card (right):

    Hi Retpsan,
    There is no default code on memory cards.
    So it will never ask you for one unless it has been set.
    I've seen this hundreds of times and the answer is ALWAYS the same.
    After a firmware update this happens because it deletes a file stored on the phone that remembers the password that was once set to the MMC so the phone asks for it again.
    Good news is, you have unlimited attempts at entering a code on a MMC, bad news is, it could be a combination of numbers and/or letters

  • Remote lock & Memory card corrupted issue

    Remote lock & Memory card corrupted issue
    Hi Dear Friends,
    You might have experienced the "Memory card corrupted issue."
    Don't panic! The solution is here!
    Your memory card is just 'locked', it isn't 'corrupted'!
    For sure, this post would be of great help to you, if:
    • You have enabled the "Remote lock" feature of your Nokia device.
    • You have sent the remote lock message to your device and locked it remotely.
    Finding the solution really took me a lot of time. I was inspired by various posts on the Discussion, and decided to find the official notes on the issue. So would like to thank those who shared their tips, and helped us solve this problem.
    I'm using E66, (you might use something else), and would refer to E51's and E65's User guide so often.
    Of course, I'm not going to explain the instructions, and recommend you to refer to your user guides when needed.
    On the contrary, I'm going to explain what may not be mentioned in your user guides.
    Let’s Begin
    What Has Happened:
    In short, you attempted to test the feature, your phone was locked, you keyed in the lock code, code was accepted, you used the phone for a while, switched it off, powered it on, you were prompted the Lock code, you keyed in the lock code, code was accepted, you attempted to view some stuff that was on your memory card, you didn't find it, you tried to run a program that was installed on your memory card, the program icon didn't open, you put the memory card in the card reader and connected it to PC, it was not detected, you went to Menu> Tools> Memory card> You saw "Memory card corrupted"!
    Don't, don't select the Yes selection key if you got the caution message, "Memory Card corrupted, reformat it?" because your memory card isn't corrupted, it's simply being locked!
    But you can't find the unlock memory card command in Menu> Tools> Memory card> Options.
    So? What to DO?
    1. (This step is optional) Disable the Remote lock feature.
    (Refer to your user guides) and change Allow Remote Lock> to no.
    Then, while the unit is on,
    2. Press the power key briefly, and select Remove memory card.
    3. Remove the memory card from the slot.
    4. Press OK if prompted.
    5. Reinsert the memory card in the slot.
    6. Reopen Menu> Tools> Memory card.
    Is your memory card detected? If yes!
    7. Follow tips number 2 & 3 of What to Know section below.
    Did you get "Password removed" message?
    If no, be careful of the case of the first character.
    If you had changed the Remote lock message many times, use the one that was practically sent to the device via text message.
    . In case you had set a password on your memory card before, you may also attempt to unlock the locked memory using your own password, not the first eight characters of the remote lock message.
    Step seven would make the memory card detectable to the connected card reader to the PC too.
    8. The memory card is detected temporarily, but it is locked and the "memory card corrupted" issue reappears every time you switch off/on the phone, unless you successfully complete step seven.
    What to Know?
    Official User guide Tips:
    1. Remote locking also locks your memory card. (E51 page100)
    . Yes, the one mobile phone that sends your device the predefined remote locking message, receives the confirmation message in response, indicating, "Mobile telephone and memory card are locked". But it isn't written in E66's and E65's.
    2. To unlock the memory card, select Menu> Tools> Memory> Options> Remove password, and "enter the remote locking message as the password". (E51 page100)
    . Yes, quite clear, but the quoted part ("enter the remote locking message as the password") isn't written on my E66's User guide, and there's a vague precaution on E65's, (refer to number 4).
    3. If the message is longer than 8 characters, the first 8 characters are used as the memory card password. (E51 page100)
    . Yes, quite clear good E51, but I don't own you; I have E66 your little sister. I owe my memory card's survival to nice users on the Discussion.
    4. The maximum number of characters allowed is 8. Using more than 8 characters could prevent unlocking the memory card and require reformatting it. If reformatting the memory card is required, all information on the card will be lost. (E65 page28)
    . Quite interesting, but it contradicts what good E51 says in number three¡!
    . And it contradicts my own experience of the issue (and some other users' on the Discussion) too, since my E66's memory card accepted the 'first eight characters' of the 'ten-character long’ remote lock message that I had previously used to remote lock it.
    . The first three tips are quite important and shouldn't have been excluded from E66's and E65's user guides. I don't have the time to download and review all the user guides that support this feature, but at least I read some user manuals and also got the impression (from the posts on the discussion) that there had been not enough information on E66's, E65's, E71's, N96's, and some others.
    You may like to do a simple search on Google:
    "The first 8 characters are used as the memory card password" site:nokia.com
    Since the content of the user guides on the server seem not be searchable for any reason, you won't find any official support result except those of the good users on the Discussions. And the 'Nokia Site Search" brings no result too. (At least on the date of this post).
    ¡ Terribly sorry for those who have selected Yes to the Reformat caution message. It wasn't your fault. But there's an idiom that says, sleep on it! "Think about it for a while before coming up with a decision".
    But now that you have tested the feature and know its solution, don't be afraid, and enable the Remote lock feature again! God forbid, but it may be needed one day!
    Yours,

  • Nokia 5610 does not recognize memory card

    I have acquired a Nokia 1GB microSD memory card for Nokia 5610 d-1.
    But  the memory card is not recognized.
    In Nokia 6303 the same memory card is recognized.
    I have formatted them with this mobile phone.
    Nevertheless, the 5610 (v10.00) does not recognize it.
    I have taken out the memory card also several times and have started again.
    What's wrong?

    anyone?

  • E71 locking the memory card?!

    I think I found a bug: I activated the remote lock optio (you send a SMS when a predifined lock message in case your phone gets stollen, nice feature, btw), after that my battery went dead, upon powering up the phone I got a prompt "enter passwod to unblock memory card" (or something similar). Just when i was about to format the card (in different forums it says it´s the only option to unblock the card) I found a post from a user that had a similar proble AFTER activiting the remote lock option. He suggested trying the same password as for the remote lock message. I did and it worked.
    A have a question for Nokia: is that supposed to be like this? I don´t think so...
    thanks

  • 5610 after update problem with the memory card

    I have updated my brothers 5610 through NSU with latest firmware 6.60. First i have removed the card. The problem now is that the phone asks for password for the memory card and i haven't used one. I have tried with 0000 and 12345 with no sucsess. I also tried the card on my phone and it still asks for password. Please someone advise. Do i need to format the card with the PC /but there is data i need to safe/ or there is another way.

    it is most likely the corrupt memory card issue, it happens quiet often. that is why back up is so essential to have especially of memories and such. for that i use share online and upload my pics right away to ovi or vox whichever. 
    the programs  you bought you should be just able to download once again and plug in the key you have gotten with your applicatioins. you should be able to recover all of your purchases. i am sorry for your pics for those can't be recovered  
    i always keep a separate email folder for all my application keys so i can find they easily as phones and memory does get corrupt. i can do it relatively quickly and have the info handy even on the go

  • Memory issues - kernel panics / system freezes with 1Gb Memory Card

    I've recently updated my PowerBook OS to 10.4.7 and now more recently 10.4.8.
    Prior to this, i had been running a pair of pc2700 memory cards (1x1Gb + 1x 512Mb) bought from crucial technology on 10.3.9 with no problems.
    During the upgrade, i experienced complete system lock ups and kernel panics. pulling the 1Gb card resolved the problem.
    So i thought it could be duff memory (it happens). I ran hardware checker, both long and short tests, ran memchecker from single user and there was no reported errors although i was still getting crashes.
    I returned the memory to crucial and they replaced it and then i went to reinstall memory in the pb.
    Once reinstalled, problems re-emerged. Both System profiler and iStat pro show both memory sticks as ok. both are pc2700 DDR.
    i tried just the 1 Gb stick in alternate memory slots. with the memory in the lower slot i was getting system freezes, in the top slot i was getting kernel panics.
    I've pulled the 1Gb and reverted to 768Mb (512Mb lower (crucial)/ 256MB (apple) upper) and i'm back to normal.
    Now what?
    As my mac is getting on, i'd like to get as much RAM in it as i can, ideally the 1.5Gb /2Gb which it can support. I'd be suprised if it could be the memory stick being duff (2 duff in a row?), its not a faulty memory slot as system profiler is showing that its full.
    Any suggestions? Anything to do with how 10.4.8 handles the memory addressing?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    PowerBook G4 1Ghz FW800   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I've had that problem, too. I found out that it was one of my memory modules that were broken.
    I'd say pop back in your other memory module, then get out your PowerBook DVD and stick it in Restart your PowerBook while holding down the Option Key on your keyboard until some buttons start to show up on your screen.
    Select the Hardware Test one, then click the Arrow button. It'll boot into a utility and you can run a hardware test that includes checking your memory.
    If any of your memory is bad, it'll show up like "**ERROR ERROR**" and give you a code.
    After you've identified the hardware problem (hopefully just the RAM), then you can go to Crucial's website and fill out an RMA request to have the memory replaced. I'm pretty sure Crucial has a life-time warranty on their memory products.

  • Hi, I have a Lenovo 3000 n100 that does not recognize the dvd player or SD memory card slot

    Hi, this is my first time on here so forgive me if I don't give all of the right information, I will try.  Until about a month ago my dvd player and SD memory card slot worked fine.  I was attempting to download pictures from the SD memory card to my laptop when for some reason it not only stopped reading the memory card but it erased it also.  I tried to watch a movie on it to see if it was working and it is not.  I checked the computer to see if I could manually turn it on and neither the memory card slot or the dvd player show up at all.  Is this a driver problem and if so how do I fix it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks, Linda

    I have struggled with the same thing, until about 1/2 hour ago....And its real simple.  I'm not a techy but here's what worked for me. 
    Since Lenovo doesn't send boot discs you are going to have to create one.  I went to http://www.ntfs.com/boot-disk.htm and downloaded the trial version - good for 10 days.  If this works for you then you should buy the software (that goes w/o saying).
    Once loaded to your machine you will need to create a DVD (CD may work as well, all I had was DVD's handy).  Just lauch the application and it will do this for you. 
    Then you need to insert the DVD/CD into your player and restart the machine.  
    Once lauched the Software will lauch the Active@ Boot Disk menu.  One of the options (going from memory here) was to give you a windows prompt.  I simply typed c: and took me to the C drive.  Then I typed chkdsk /f c:
    I was then told my c drive was locked (sounds familiar I bet) but this time I was given the option to dismount the volume which I did.  And it finally ran chkdsk, found and corrected all errors.  
    I rebooted my machine, launched diskeeper,  and guess what - I can finally defrag my harddrive now which is sorely overdue!
    Good luck.  I hope this works for you!
