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

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):

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.

You might like to look at this post in particular and others by shuntfield in this thread:/t5/Eseries-and-Communicators/E71-Auto-Remote-Lock/m-p/420626/highlight/true#M34724
Although you haven't knowingly set a password AFAIK it is possible to change it to new one using the remote lock feature.

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.

Please help - 7373 memory card not recognised

I bought a 2GB Kingston memory card for my nokia 7373. I put photos on it from a converter in my computer, but when I put it in my 7373 it does not recognise the card. However, my friend's 7373 recognises the card and it works fine. The memory card slot on my phone does not appear broken to me. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make the card work in my phone of or what could be wrong?

if your card works on your friends phone then the mmc is fine something is wrong with your phone.it can be hardware.though it does not appear faulty from outside but there are filters which might have got spoilt and therefore it is better to visit to NSC.

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,

Dear, 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

I updated my Macbook Pro last week to Lion. I went to go import pictures from a memory card to my iPhoto, but only a portion of them loaded before my iPhoto froze and I had to Force Quit it. Now iPhoto won't even open... Help!

I updated my Macbook Pro last week to Lion. I went to go import pictures from a memory card to my iPhoto, but only a portion of them loaded before my iPhoto froze and I had to Force Quit it. Now iPhoto won't even open... Help!
Please! I need an answer fast!!!!

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

No Memory Card, Want Pics Off Phone Memory! Looking Everywhere for answers PLS HELP!!!!!!

I Just recieved a new bb curve 3G from my hubby. I took a few pictures, but have not yet bought a memory card. I want to know how to get the pics i took already OFF my phone an onto my computer. I find it kind of dumb if you can't take the pics off your phone without a card as they are saved to my phone memory... Pls any help would be appreciated! Driving me nuts!!!!
Thanks in advance!

When you get the media card, simply move the pictures to the media card right from the device. The only other way to do it is to install the Desktop Manager software to your computer and get the pictures through that.
