IPhone 3G Locking Code problem

iPhone 3G
iOS 4.2.1 Build 8C148
Pic at http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/8528/photolu.png
Problem:
I know my code and I have no problem getting into the phone.
I just want to deactivate it but no option available (see pic).
When entering locking code menu, it prompt me to enter my code, I do so and then I only have the option to "change the code" but not to "deactivate it".
It seem to be a very pinpoint problem with 3G, because my other phone is a 3GS build 8C148a and it got the option available.
Thanks for any help.

Ok.

E63 Lock Code Problem After Update

I recently checked for a firmware update for my E63. I got excited when i found out that there was an availabla one, the 510 .21 .010 and I immediately started the update process. Everything went ok but when i switched On the phone it asked me for the lock code after 3 or 4 seconds. I tried the default one , 12345 but it showed a code error message. I can't do excatly nothing but the weird thing is that buttons Calendar,Contacts and Mailbox work but i still can't do nothing else.The Home button does not work. It doesn't seem a normal behaviour.Could it be a bug? I read a lot of posts about this problem so this means I'm not the only one having this problem. Please help me. I really need my E63 back as it is my do-everything tool. Maybe a new firmware with this bug fixed would be best.
Thank You in advance

hello, you will need to contact your nearest Nokia Care with proof of purchase/ownership, for them to reset your security code.

What country are you in? Phones for certain countries where GPS on phones is outlawed (China I think is one) have no GPS built in, or functionality removed.

Nokia 5700 Lock Code Problems

Hi All
This is what I do.
Menu - Settings - Phone Settings - General - Security - Phone and Sim - Lock Code
When I select Lock Code it asks me to enter the Lock Code so I enter ANY number over 5 digits, it asks for a new lock code so I enter 67890 (5 digits), Asks to verify so I re-enter it correctly and I get a code error.
If I repeat this process 5 times it says I've entered the Lock code incorrectly and can't do it again for 5 minutes.
It also asks for this code when I attempt to reset the phone to which I enter 12345 and it errors, plus it asks for the lock code when I try to set up a timed phone lock.
If I enter any 4 digit code it just asks for Lock Code again.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks

I too attempted to take it to a Nokia Service Centre, who reflashed it but to no avail.
I then took it to an independant mobile repair centre and he was able to resolve the problem.
He advised that the lock code had been changed and they were able to read it (giving me the old code which I didn't recognise) and then resetting it to 0000.
I would have thought the NSC reflash would have resolved this.

Try to hard format your phone.if the problem not solved, take it to NOKIA care service.
you can hard format your phone as following:
switch off your phone.
press and hold "Green key" And "*" and "3" and as you are holding those keys switch on your phone.

Lock code problem aftr updating

I have updated my e63 to 510.21.010 now its asking me d lock code while I switch on the phone. I wanna get completely get rid of this problem. Plse somebody help.

The default Nokia lock code is 12345 unless you have changed it yourself and forgotten it. If that's the case then you will have to visit a Nokia Care point to get it reset.
If the phone is asking for the SIM PIN then check with your SIM provider for the default PIN. If you have changed that one as well and have forgotten it then you can enter the wrong code until the SIM gets locked and unlock it with the PUK supplied with the SIM. This will reset the SIM PIN and you can enter a new PIN for that.

E66 Lock Code Problem

I have E66 mobile i wants to format my phone but at the time of code i am entering default code 12345 but its not working even i not changed my code. Can some one help me how can i again reset my code so that i can access my mobile
Thanks

The default unlock for most Nokia phones is 12345 unless you have changed it. Normally this code can only be reset by the Nokia Care Points. However some of the latest S60 models can be reset to the default code by reformatting the phone.
There have been cases of this code being changed by certain networks. When this is the case, the security code will be on the label on the box, close to the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identifier) number. This number will be a 5 digit number but not necessarily marked as a security code.
Some S40 5th edition phones, such as the 6500 Slide or 6301, don't always have a preset lock code. In these cases, you will be prompted to create the code the first time you try to perform an action that needs one (such as clearing logs or restoring factory settings). You can also create the code from the Settings>Security>Access Codes menu.

Will an apple store replace an iphone with lock button problems, but has a small dent on the top

My iphone 5 lock button only works if I push it in a certain place
If I go to the apple store will they replace it? I dropped it a couple months ago and there's a small dent on the top

There's really no way for any of us here to know one way or the other. You will have to take it to Apple and they will tell you whether they consider it covered under your warranty or not.

Nokia n96 lock code problem

I forget my master reset code so can't reset my nokia n96 & also can't use any mamory card.Whn i put in any mamory card thn phone asking for lock code but i 4get tht...I updte my firmware but still its not fixed...So plz some1 help me...Thnx

If you have changed the code from the standard 12345 then there isn't a way to recover the code.
You could try the hard reset (hold down the *, 3 and green keys whilst the phone is switched on until at least the handshake logo), or have the phone flashed at a Nokia service point. Either way, the phone will be completely wiped so you need to back up important data like contacts and messages first.

IPhone 5 Lock button problem

Hello , i am new to this country (India) i am from Dubai before coming here i bought myself an iPhone5 and its been around 3 months i am having trouble with my lock button.It wont work on the first tap i have to press it on some angle or sometimes tap many times to make it work.Where can i get my phone fixed and will my warranty work here in this country?

Until you get your Warranty and repair issues sorted, try to protect your Lock Button. Use Assistive Touch when convenient. Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap screen white button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even be used to turn iPhone OFF. To turn ON if needed, just connect iPhone to power, charger or USB of computer.

HT1414 My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to all upon and need the r

My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to call upon and need the restore to retrieve info onto my phone, I am a real novice to this...... please help, !!!!

If anyone else is looking for a solution to this same problem, I was able to get it working looking through several older discussions.
The solution was to use the password that I had on my iTunes account the very first time I set up the iPhone about a year ago. I changed my iTunes password about 10 months ago; but apparently, the backups continue to use the password that existed when the phone was first set up.
A couple of troubling things with this are that 1) I didn't apply a password when I did the backup this afternoon so I don't understand why it was required when I did the restore a few hours later. and 2) it makes zero sense why iTunes would not be smart enough to use the current accout password when requiring the password to restore from a backup made with no password.
I thought iTunes and Apple were smarter than that. With so many posts stating exactly the same problem, it is clear that this is bug in the software.

Unable to diactivate code verification after lock even after deleting echange mailbox from my iphone, the diactivate code on settings remains grayed

Hi,
I spent days searching for a clear and efficient solution for this: I've configured microsoft exchange on my iphone so I can access my job emails. The problem is that this obliges you to set a lock code on your phone. I tried to delete completely the exchange mail account, the "diactivate code" in the phone settings is still greyed!
I found stories about using the exchange management cosole but this thins is simply unconfigurable (keeps telling "Initialization failed" after asking clear and understandable information like a "friendly name for the exchange forest" and the "FQDN or URL of the server running the remote PowerShell")
Need urgent assistance!!
Thanks

Try also removing the profile that was installed.
