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.

  • 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.

  • Reset Nokia 6300 lock code

    i forgot my nokia 6300 lock code.
    I even dont know how to get my phone IMEI Code
     pls help me to break the code

    The default code is 12345, unless you changed this and have forgotten it. This means you will have to visit a local Nokia Care point to get your phone unlocked.
    You can get your IMEI code by checking the abck of yoru phone under the battery and on the box the phone came in.

    The standard code is 12345 but if you changed this code and you forgot, there is only one way to solve the problem. Bring it in to a Nokia Care Center.

  • 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.

  • !! Need help !! 5800 XM Lock code problem !!

The main problem was that when the phone is locked then each time when i cancel the it " means cancel the lock code " there was a square dot in b/w 4 and 7 , next day i was at Nokia care and gave ma handset for check n all , they 1 of all said that it is a software issue , suddenly they say that it is a screen problem and the handset screen will be replaced . I was shocked when i hear this  , they say aftere 15 days it will be replaced , i gave ma handset to them , after 15 days yesterday they gave me ma handset . The black dot problem was solved but now whenver i cancel the lockcode , the background where lock is present sometime the screen get full black , sometime half black screen and half lock is shown , sometime full lock is shown, i again went to Nokia care they say it is the newly firmware problem " don't know if there were lying or something " . My Nokia 5800XM ver. is v31.0.008
    Plz tell me is there any other problem ?? I buyed it from Nokia , so i shout them that if there is another problem in ma handset , i need a new Nokia 5800 XM .
    Thanks

    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.

  • N85 v30 Lock code problem !!

    I've got a problem, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I updated the software to v30 and my lock code is lost !!
    It used to be 32159 and when i tried it it didn't work so i tried the defult 12345 which didn't work too !!
     I noticed something else: The phone was set to lock automatically after 20 min and now it doesnt do so !!
    Has anyone got tthe same problem or is only my device ?

    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.

  • 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.

  • Nokia 8860 lock code ??

    I have had a bit of a shocker, a few months back i entered in a lock code on my phone which locks the phone after a certain amount of time. I got annoyed with this so disabled the function. But now i want to re-use this function but have carlessly forgotten the lockcode.
    Does any body know how I can reset this code without knowing the code ???
    Many Thanks

    The default is 12345. If it was changed, and is now forgotten, help is as near as the closest Nokia service/repair center:

  • Nokia n96 - lock code

    Ok here it goes, i want to restore my phone to factory settings but when i do, it asks me for a lock code an i dont have a clue where to get this, could anyone help me pelase.

    Sorry but we can't help.
    If Movistar has changed the security code from the default 12345 then Movistar are the people you should be contacting.
    Are you sure it's not you who've changed the security code?
    Try doing a hard reset. The end result is the same and it might reset the security code as well (but don't count on it). Switch the phone off. Press the green "call" key and 3 and *. Keep these buttons pressed down while switching the phone on and maintain pressure on them until the phone shows signs of life such as the region selection screen or the "handshake" logo.
    As a last resort you can take the phone with proof of purchase (so they know that it is really your phone and not one you "found") along to your nearest Nokia Care Point and ask them to reset the security code for you. This might result in the phone being reformatted but that's what you want anyway if you're trying to do a soft reset.

  • 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.
