    I locked the access to the volume control by inadvertently setting a security code, in the settings, and now I can not remember the code and i can not adjust the volume when plugging in to the car jack./.

    Your only option is to restore the iPod to factory settings in iTunes.

    how to reset my security code to standard if i forgot my security code
    Moderator's Note: The subject was edited as we have moved the post from an existing thread and created a new topic.

    Because Nokia Software Recovery Tool does not support the Nokia-Dead-USB-Mode for neither Symbian or a Nokia Series 40 phone, you cannot bypass a screen/keylock which is protected by the security code. However, if the phone does not give that lock-screen – is booting up and your able to select the USB mode on the phone – then you are able to apply the Nokia Software Recovery Tool – which resets the security code back to its initial state (no value set or 12345).

  • HT201303 How to get my security code...I forgot

    Forgot my security code

    Do you mean the security code for the credit card on your iTunes account (have you not still got the card ?), or do you mean the passcode lock to unlock the iPhone ? Or something else ... ?
    If you've forgotten the passcode to unlock the phone then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPhone and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the phone into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you do it via a different computer then :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • Can't unlock N8, Security Code Error

    Hi, 
    I turned off my N8 Belle recently, turned it back on and it won't accept the security code, it just says "code error" when I type it.
    What's going on? Now I can't unlock my phone to use it.
     I haven't forgotten the code, it's the same one I've been using on phones for years and I've tried defaults such as 1234, 12345, 0000, 00000000. 
    Thanks, 
    Peter

    Don't know whether Post #5 here of any value http://forum.dailymobile.net/index.php?topic=64440.0 otherwise looks like visit to Nokia Care facility to reset lock code to default 12345 and possibly completely re-install device software looks likely.

  • Where and how to set a security code for wi-fi connection

    I am running OS 10.8.5 on my MacBook Air and have an Apple Wi-Fi personal connection.  I havn't needed a security code for my network but we are trying to add a wi-fi connection to our Dish Network Whole Home system which consist of two receivers.  In the set-up procedure it asked for a "Security Key" and we don't have one.  I cannot find anything that will work in this step and it will not connect w/o one.  I do not how to do this nor can I find an area for this option.  Can anyone tell me how to do this ?  The Dish Network "connection kit" is set up for wireless.  I have tried the #'s on the modem itself and various others I found in the system preferences under wi-fi.  I am at a complete loss here !!!!!!
    Thank you in advance for your help b/c I KNOW there is someone out there that knows how to do this.  And....it likely is a very easy thing to do - just not me !!

    Contact Dish technical support since it is their product.

  • 603 unlocked without security code

    I've security code set on my 603, but somehow my 7 year son could get through (and he doesn't know the passcode). I had put it on charging on power plug. He somehow managed to get in. When my wife notice him fiddling up with the phone, it showed up message asking whether to initiate an emergency call. She took it away from my son, only to notice that it was reset to factory settings
    Not sure how it would have happened. How in the heavens could he get past security code. I've my corporate email account set and it doesn't allow to turn security code off for that reason.
    I could recover from 7 day old backup. Some sms are lost and all app need to be reinstalled now. Many standard app that came in bundled didn't come back after recovering from backup.
    Can somebody explain.

    Hi sharma_hi,
    Welcome to the Nokia forum.
    There is no way to get passed the security code if it's been set up on your phone. You will however still be able to make emergency phone calls to the national emergency lines. For these phone calls you are not required to enter the security code. 
    The only reason the phone could somehow have been reset to its factory settings, is if the securtiy code was entered correctly (which would be possible if the code is for example 12345) and the reset was initiated manually in the menu or shortcut *#7780#.
    If you have lost any applications you can redownload them by going to the Nokia Store > My Stuff. If you have paid for applications and you're unable to redownload them for free, please contact your local Care line who will be able to resend your paid applications to your phone without any charge.
    I would highly recommend changing your security code to make sure this doesn't happen again. It is under no condition possible to access the phone without entering the correct security code first.
