How to reset SD card on 5310 (Format to remove pas...

Ok a couple months ago I put a password on my 8GB SDHC card on my Nokia 5310 (Orange) but since it never asked me for the password, I figured the feature was bugged and left it there.
Last week I decided to check for updates and there were updates for the phone but it warned me to remove any passwords from the SD card so I stopped it. Since I have forgotten the password, I couldn't remove it through the phone menus. I moved all my data to my computer and started trying to remove that password. Here's what I have done so far.
1. Format the card from the Phone menus (Password stayed)
2. Format the card by selecting DATA STORAGE mode and connecting the phone to the computer. That way the computer recognizes it as a USB flash drive so I formatted the card from Windows (took 4 hours) but password stayed.
3. Bought a SDHC card reader but it says that no card is inserted into it...aka can't read the card, probably because it has that password so I can't format it from on the computer using a card reader.
How can I get rid of the password on the card? Currently my phone knows the password since I didn't update it and works fine with the card, however, if it resets or if I change phone the card will effectively be USELESS so I need to unlock it. I have moved all the data out of it so a format is fine as long as it works.
Phone: Nokia 5310 (Orange) from T-mobile running v8.21
SD Card: Kingston 8GB MicroSDHC Class 4
Thanks for your help.

Like grschinon already said, unless you can recall the password, there's nothing much else you can do. To continue using this memory card, since you don't intend to throw it away, you will never be able to:
1. Update your phone software.
2. Use your memory card in any other device.
The purpose of setting a password to the memory card is to prevent the card from being accessed by unauthorised devices. It will only work in your phone since that was when the password was set. In order to use it with other devices (memory card readers, other compatible phones, etc), your card will ask you to authorise the device by entering the password.
You chose to set the password in the memory card. The only way to remove it is to remember the password to deactivate the password security setting in the memory card.
So basically... that's it. There is no other possible advice to give you on this forum for your phone model.

HT2731 How to reset credit card info on apple I'd

How to reset credit card info to buy credits for games cause I think I used too many cards it's not letting me purchase credits for games

iTunes never asks me about or talks billing information no matter whether I download a purchased app or a free app.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and then tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Go down to Payment Information and tap that to edit or remove your credit card information.

How to unlock memory card nokia 5310

i just updated my nokia 5310 firmware from 5.81 to 8.32 and now my memory card has locked itself.

I think the locking code returns to "factory default" after a firmware update is made.
The phone's lock code does return to the default 12345 after a firmware update with phones that do not support UDP (User Data Preservation).
The MMC password does not get reset to the factory default simply because there is no factory default for that.
The file in the phone's memory containing the MMC password is erased when the software is updated, which means that the phone no longer remembers the password. The phone then prompts the user for it, which is when they wish they'd made a note of it somewhere!

How to reset a Card

Hi
Good Afternoon
Here we r using ACOS3 Card .And some how the ISSUER CODE is wrong.And the Card is locked , Can any one tell me how to remove the LOCK .
Its Urgent
Please
Cheers
Naveen.C

Hi,
If it is the card manager that is locked, the card is not usable any more. This is a security feature so that the card security cannot be cracked using brute force. You can confirm this if INITIALISE UPDATE responds with an error status word.
Cheers,

Does anyone know how to reset your security questions?? I loaded an itunes gift card on new ipod but when trying to make a purchase, itunes is asking us the incorrect security questions?! (for 1st time purchase) I know the questions are not what I chose because I wrote the questions & answers down when setting up the ipod. Any ideas??!!!

Reset Security Questions
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Manage My Apple ID
Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
If all else fails:
1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
3. Then choose iTunes Store;
4. Then choose Account Management;
5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
      Continue;
6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
      like your security/challenge questions reset;
8. Click Send/Continue.
You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
      tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
      "done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
      Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
      should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
      security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
      selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
      should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
      questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends!

Newest compared to what?
There is a reason we don't say use the "latest" or "best" methods to complete tasks, because they are vague ill defined terms.
Could you return us the favor and tell us exactly what version of Pages on what version of OSX.
The answer varies.

It is truly very often for us to meet the password problem, sometimes we would forgot windows password or lost windows password, and could not login windows system and make a big trouble. At this time, you would hope to find a way to reset and recover the forgotten password.
Actually, a lot of methods are available to recover or reset the Windows password. But most of them are designed for PC experts, not common PC users, those solutions are too complicated to get it work for us. And in this article, I will show you a professional software tool which could help you to reset forgotten windows password easily.
Total Windows Password Reset is powerful password recovery software to reset Windows admin
passwords for you to login Windows OS without reinstalling the OS when you forgot windows password or lost windows password. It could remove windows password and set the password to blank. Just boot from the program CD/DVD or USB flash drive, choose the account you wish to reset and all will be done. It is not a method to crack or bypass windows password, just remove or delete windows password and set it to blank so you could login windows to set new password.
Below is the guide of how to reset windows password with this software, only 3 steps are needed to reset windows 7/Vista/XP password:
Step 1: Download the setup file of Total Windows Password Reset on the official website:
http://www.resetwindowspassword.net/downloads/totalwpr.exe
And install it on another PC. Then you could startup the password recovery software to prepare the bootable disc.
Step 2: Burn the windows password recovery bootable CD/DVD or USB disc with the software.
Now, you may select “Burn DVD/CD Disc” or “Use USB Disc”. If you select first method, you need to have a blank CDR/DVDR disk, a COMBO or DVDRW drive on the PC. If you select to use USB disc, you just need to pay attention: This USB devices would be formatted, so you must make sure to back up all the data before use it. And the maximum capacity of the USB devices cannot exceed 2G.
Tips: We recommend you to use the DVD/CD method to do the windows password reset, because some computers may not support USB start-up.
Below is step by step to show you how to burn the CD/DVD
1. Launch Total Windows Password Reset main window, Click “Burn DVD/CD Disc” button.
2. In BurnCC’s main window, click “Browse” button and in the open window, locate the file “TWPR.iso” on your desktop, select it and click on Open to get back to the main window. Then, click “Start” button.
3 Your DVD drive should open and insert a blank CD-R or DVD-R disc into the drive and close it. Click “OK” button. Your CD will be burned in a few minutes.
Tips: if there is already a CD/DVD disc in the drive before run the software, the CD drive will open automatically . Please close it again. The process will be continuing.
Below is step by step to show you how to burn the USB drive
1 Insert a USB drive into a USB slot on your computer and run Total Windows Password Reset, Click “Use USB Disc” button.
2 Click“Step1”button. Then, Right-click on the usb_format.exe and choose “Run as Administrator”.
3 In USB Disk Storage Format window, set the file system to FAT, Check the Quick Format box, check the Create DOS Bootable Disk, Browse to the DOS_files folder on your Desktop, click OK & then Start.
4. Click OK on the following window and then close the USB format tool. Your USB drive now is formatted.
5. Click “Step2” button and open the USB drive with your computer. Then, copy the files from the USB_files folder and paste them directly to the USB drives main directory. 2 of the files may become hidden and you will not see them on the USB drive. This is okay. Your USB drive is now complete.
Step 3: Boot your PC with the burned CD/DVD or USB disc to reset windows password.
You need to insert the Created CD/DVD or USB drive into the optional drive of the locked computer and reboot it.
Tips: It your computer still boots from hard drive Windows OS, it's necessary for you to change your COMS or BIOS settings to make it boot from CD/DVD or USB drive. If you don’t know how to set it, you may visit the official website: http://www.resetwindowspassword.net or contact the computer manufacture.
The computer boots from CD/DVD or USB drive, then
1 The program will ask for the Windows OS hard drive volume. Enter the ID number of the hard drive volume that Windows is installed.
2 The program has detected all the user names of Windows and asks which user name password is to be removed. Enter the ID number for the User Name.
3 The program asks to confirm weather to remove the password or not. Enter "y" (yes) to confirm your action and "n" (no) to deny the action and hit "Enter".
4 The program asks whether to continue to remove passwords for other accounts. Enter "y" to continue and "n" to finish. Eject your USB from your computer first and press any key to restart the computer from Windows. Now you can log in Windows with an empty password (with no password.), just click “Enter” when you login.
If you have any questions of the procedure and the settings, you could visit the website:http://www.resetwindowspassword.net or send email to [email protected].
Now you could see that to reset or recover the admin login password of windows OS: XP, Vista, Windows 7 or 2000 is not so difficult and you can do it with ease.

Very interest posting. Thank you for this detailed description and useful links.
If you have more interesting stuff to share with us you are welcome.

HT204266 How come my credit card says invalid security code when I put my code in at the App Store?

How come my credit card says invalid security code when I put my code in at the App Store?

Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
For iOS I would expect an updated version of the manual to appear here at some point : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad/
In the meantime there is this : http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/
