Save memory card password using backup of PC Suite...
Ok. Some time ago I set a password on the memory card of my Nokia XpressMusic 5310. Some months passed and I forgot the password
to it but the phone still has it so it's working without any issues.
Problem is I want to update the firmware on the phone because it is a bit outdated and PC Suite is showing me that new versions are available. If I update the firmware, the phone will LOSE the password to the memory card as it is deleted during the flash. I did a complete backup using PC Suite to my computer. Is the memory card password ALSO backed up to the computer or will I still need it after the flash?
In other words, after I update the phone, can I use the backup I made to restore it and restore the password it had for the memory card. Or is there any way for me to find this password and remove it before updating?
The phone is a S40 phone so the installing of filemanager programs and looking for the text file with the password does NOT work.
Thx.Click on the discussions main page link right at the top of this page, then under mobile products click on the accessories link (right below the phones link where you posted this thread). At the top of the topics list (above the line) you'll see something about memory card passwords for all types of phones. Many people have posted links to software that can help you. I'm using my phone to reply here so I can't post the links for you.

Set password on memory card and is now corrupt
I tried setting a password on my memory card, and it just locked up my phone.
I waited for ages but eventually just turned the phone off and on again. Now the phone doesn't recognize that there is a memory card at all, and when I plug it into my computer with a card reader, it says please insert media when I try to open it.
Please help! Over a year's worth of photos are on there :\I would say if everything else fails try formatting it, or before formatting you could try putting the memory card in the card reader & use this software 'Total Commander 7.02' to see if it works & you might have a slight chance of getting your stuff back. Icant give you a 100% chances of getting your stuff back but give it a shot.

Nokia C2-03 Set Password for Memory Card
Hi All,
I m using C2-03, I found an option to set password on memory card.
Apps and Games > Memory Card > Mem. card opt. > Set password
for my privacy I set a password but the Memory card still opens without asking. Can anyone plz inform me how do I secure my private data using password?
Thanks,
Khaild.
Solved!
Go to Solution.It will continue to open up without the password. The password will only be asked if you insert the memory card in a different phone and it is only required once. It will keep opening up normally from the next time.
That password isn't there to keep your memory card protected inside your phone but instead to keep others from using your memory card. As long as the password is there, the phone can't be used on any other phone or even on a PC through card reader. -

For some reason even when you did not add a password to your memory card, sometimes your phone after a factory reset, may ask you for a password for your memory card. There is a way around this. Go to SETTINGS à SECURITY à REMOTE LOCK and add a new codeword for locking your phone eg “lockthis” and put in your lock CODE (default is 12345). When this is done, use your lock codeword “lockthis” as the password for the memory card and you should be able to get into your memory card again. ATTENTION!!!!!! The codeword must have maximum 7 characters!!!! IT REALLY WORKS!!!!! 100% -
Memory card password request after software upgrad...
Nokia 6700 Requesting Memory card password?
I have a Nokia 6700 Classic, the bluetooth stopped working so I called Orange who checked I was following the instructions clearly and then suggested I download the latest software version 13.20 via the computer. I did this with no problem only to find that the bluetooth still did not work and now | was being asked for a password to access my memory card. I have NEVER entered a password on my memory card. Having taken advice from the website I had removed all my precious photos etc to the memory card so they would be safe - now I am asked for a password that I have never set. The software is obviously corrupt in my opinion and no one can help me with a password. Have tried all possible 4 number combinations 12345 and the guy at carphone warehouse thought it was an 8 digit/character passsword. I know I could format the card but the data would be lost. Can not make it work in the computer or in other phones. Can not remove the password as you have to enter it to remove it! Orange can not help although they have been super and likewise the Carphone Warehouse and Nokia seem to just send out standard responses that prove they do not read the correspondence, although Nokia are responsible for the faulty software that has done this. The photos include some of a friend I recently lost and of someone who has little time left, I can not replace those photos. Any help would be appreciated. Surely someone at Nokia - ie the software programmers should be able to say what they have done and get me the info. This fault has been evident on lots of forums for the last 4 years - it is about time it was taken seriously - both the problems with the bletooth and the memory password. Any help appreciated. Thank youMy wife has forgotten the password for the microsd 2gb memory card which she had in her Nokia 6700 phone. she did a factory reset of her phone and now cannot acces her memory card. I've tried it in other devices and it is not recognised.. even in a PC. how can we access the card again. not bothered about data that was on it just wanna wipe it and reuse it. Try formatting or anything with her phone and it just keeps asking for the correct password which we don't know..
It will only allow me to format it. If I give the right password 1st.
WHICH WE DON'T KNOW!!!!
HELP PLS!!!!! -
I have been using a Nokia X2-01 for 3 months and yesterday I've reset the phone to factory settings with the memory card removed. After the reset I've inserted the memory card but it shows a lock sign and requires password to access or format. It doesn't even show how much memory is used or free. TOTAL ACCESS DENIED. All it wants a password. But I've never given any password to the memory card and it never asked for before. The memory card came along with the phone and the packet holding the memory card was completely sealed,too. I've bought the phone from a genuine Nokia Store.
Now how could I retrieve/remove/reset the memory card password?Hi,
We have FAQ for this:
What can I do when I forget the password of my memory card ?
This is unfortunate situation. But if you keep using it in the device where the password was set, the password is not required to access to the memory card. However, it is required in the following situations:
Try to remove the memory card password
Insert the memory card to another device
After a hard reset of the device (for example by typing *#7370# in your device)
After the device software update with PC using Nokia Software Updater
When you forget the password but still want to use the memory card, try formatting it in your device. But after formatting, all data on the memory card is erased. Sometimes the password may be asked before formatting, then try to format it in PC.
Important notice! Write down your password and keep it in a safe place and backup your memory card data regularly.

i had a Nokia N80IE with a MiniSD memory card. i sold the phone, and i have the memory card here connected to my laptop, but i cant use it because the card was password protected. now i dont have a phone to unlock it. i know the password, but how can i unlock it into my pc? any programs or so? i have a 6210navigator now but it only supports MicroSD, doesnt support MiniSD.
yes i've tried that and it does solve the problem.
my setting the memory card password is not to secure my files though... it's to prevent someone else accidentally or otherwise setting a password on my memory card w/o me knowing it. the memory card password once set has no easy way to be removed unless u know it, and will render the card unusable on any other device.
so is this a bug? or just something worng w/ my phone? anyone else can try pls?Message Edited by myles on 23-Jun-2006

You should take a look here.

If that doesn't help, then i'm sorry to say, there is not much you can do to bypass the memory card code.

Message Edited by aakashk95 on 07-Jan-2009 08:44 AMIf your phone is an S40 phone (which it is in your case) and you don't have a USB card reader then your only options are to remember the password (somebody set one even if it wasn't you) or to buy a new memory card.

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,
http://nds1.nokia.com/phones/files/guides/Nokia_E51_UG_en.pdf
http://nds1.nokia.com/phones/files/guides/Nokia_E65-1_UG_en.pdf
http://nds1.nokia.com/phones/files/guides/Nokia_E66-1_UG_en.pdfDear, I guess, / This article doesn't suit your case. / • You have not enabled the "Remote lock" feature of your Nokia device. / • You have not locked your device remotely. / Because you don't know where the remote lock is and haven't played with its settings. / You need to explain what has happened. / The only thing we get is that your memory card doesn't open. / 1. your phone model, e.g., 5130. / 2. What did you do recently that might have caused this issue? / 3. What methods did you try to unlock it? / Use some of the tips provided above. (except number 1). / Yours

Nokia 6230I Memory card problem
i've put a password on my memory card and now i can't remember what it is, is there anyway i can remove it?
Im afraid there is no way to get that code without remembering it.
You'll just have to keep at it and hopefully you will think of it.
The password will consist of numbers and/or letters and unlimited attempts to guess it.
Good luck

Removing write-protection from a memory card
How does one remove the write-protection from a memory car? I have been trying to copy some sound and pictures from my computer to my memory card, but it has been telling me that the memory card is write protected and I have to remove the write protection. someone please help!!!
Hi tessiebest
Is memory card in SD adapter in card reader on your PC, as there is a little slider on the SD adapter which you can slide to "lock" write protect?
You can also "password protect" a memory card in your phone.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0 -
Hi guys,
I just bought a new Nokia E73. I don't know for sure what happened it was working good but suddenly it asked me for the memory card password, which i don't have. I tried to restore all original phone settings but i couldn’t because it asked me about the security code. I don't know what to do now please I need your help.Are you asking about the security code for both memory card and phone? The one for phone should be 12345 unless you have changed it your self. Are you sure you don't have set any password on your memory card before?

Memory Card problem of a different sort. N81
So I got my new N81, was really happy with the phone. I tried putting a password on my memory card, no problems. Then when I tried to unlock it again with that same password it kept telling me Incorrect Password. I know I didn't make a mistake typing it in because you have to confirm it a second time when you create it. So eventually I give up and format it, seeing as that is the only way to get the password off. Now i have formatted lost all my data and it still asks me for a password, even after the format. I've formatted about 6times now. It works for 30seconds and then automatically locks itself again with a password. I've also reset my phone to factory defaults and still had the same problem. Can anyone suggest anything that might help?
EXACT same thing has happened to me. But i can actually unlock the memory card for file transfers, viewing contents that sort of thing..... but when i try to change or remove the password altogether it tells me ' incorrect password' try again. Really frustrating as i have alot of music stored on the phone for the second time now as i have already formatted it once also with no password success. If you have any success please let me know.If i find somethin that works ill post it here.
