Recovering lost pin number Bt Hub Phone 2.1A
Hi, I've recently gone back to using my home hub phone after my ones giving up the ghost, I've managed to get it to link up but I was wanting to do a full factory reset to put it into a "out of box" state (i.e delete all the contacts etc...) but cant get it to do this without the pin number which for the life of me I cant remember (its worth noting that I have tried the default 0000 and any other numbers that I would have used), is there ANY way at all that I can either reset this or recover it? I've read up about the test mode being able to reset the phone back to factory defaults which I have posted about before when it unexpectedly made a visit and wiped everything, but I cant seem to recreate it.... Im very good with this sort of thing normally but this one has got me stumped...
Solved!
Go to Solution.
Yes, This is the page that i ended up on before and had tryed the,
"On the handset take a look at which button is the "Menu" button.
Take off the battery cover and remove one battery.
Hold in the Menu button while reinserting the battery.
After a few seconds the display will show "TEST MODE"
Do NOT press OK, but press "5"
The display will change to show "CLEAR SUB"
Hit OK and the handset will deregister, but the phone book will be retained. "
But i wasnt getting any of that come up on the screen? the menu key is the one on the left if i am correct.. am i doing somthing wrong?
Manythanks..
UPDATE: i've just tryed it on the older phone (1.5) and it worked right away but it wont work on the 2.1 (black one)

I ordered a recovery disk yesterday. Before I could write down the order number from the confirmation page I accidentaly clicked on something because I lost the page. Course I got an email confirmation on the ac cord but I did not get an email verification on the recovery disk which I was hoping for. Is there somewhere to check on orders without the order number or somewhere to contact HP for FREE to find out so I can check on this order. I paid extra to receive the package the next day. Thank you for any help!
You need to contact HP support not the HP user Forum about your recovery disk if you ordered them.

I updated my iPhone 5s to 7.1.2 yesterday, and I now cannot input my PIN number. The screen says i need to input my Apple Id and then my Icloud Password. The phone cannot accept these inputs because I can't switch it on because the PIN number cannot be put in ????????????????????????????/
Why not just sign in with your Apple ID and password?

one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working . May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.
I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

BT Home Hub Phone PIN Forgotten
Hi,
I have a hub phone I bought for my Black Hub on ebay and I'm trying to register it but with no success.
I've activated Broadband Talk with BT so that side of things are all up and running with the blue light lit on the hub itself.
I'm trying to perform a full reset of the phone but it asks for a PIN - which I obviously don't have. I've used the default 0000 but it just says Not Available everytime.
Any idea whether that means a wrong PIN or is there maybe something wrong with the phone.
I'm assuming if I was able to reset the phone I could then successfully register it to my Hub.Hi ashthekid and welcome
ebay purchased phones may be faulty, plus the default pin is 0000.
Try taking the batteries out for at least 10 mins, then re-insert them.
Does it now work?

I am asking this for my friend, who was using iphone 4. He lost it one week back and couldnt find it so far. He is having his IMEA number of the phone. Could you please help me in tracing out this?
If he has not previously set up Find My iPhone, there is no way to
track the iPhone. Apple does not and will not track phones.
Immediately change all passwords. Hopefully he was using a passcode
to get by the lock screen. If he was, his data is protected; if not, anyone
who finds the iPhone can access anything that was on it. -

I've lost my iPhone 5
How can I have the serial number of the phone
Information to be deleted
Please Please Help MeHi Mohammad,
I'm sorry that you have lost your phone.
If you need to erase the personal information on your phone remotely, here are the steps to do that:
iCloud: Erase your device remotely
If your device is lost or stolen, you can erase the personal information (such as your contacts, email, and music) and settings on that device to prevent anyone else from seeing or using your information.
Important: Before you erase all the information on your device, try to locate it or play a sound on it. After you erase the information on an iOS device, you won’t be able to use Find My iPhone to locate it or play a sound. You may still be able to use Find My iPhone to locate your Mac after you erase it.
If you erase your iOS device and then find it, you can restore the information on the device using iCloud Backup (if backup was turned on before you erased it) or iTunes. For more information, see the user guide for your device in Safari bookmarks or on the Apple Support website.
To erase your device remotely, you need to have set up Find My iPhone on the device before it was lost.
I hope this information helps ... -

I have lost my iphone 5 is it possible to find the imei number of that phone.
i have lost my iphone 5 is it possible to find the imei number of that phone.
I just want to repeat what was said up thre thread: make sure you report this phone as lost or stolen to your carrier; this will prevent anyone from wiping it out and registering it as their own phone with service.
With ios 7 and beyond ,it's not possible to wipe it out and have it set up as a new phone number unless you know the iCLoud ID and password. THat's great, but for iOS 6 you should report it stolen or lost so that it's worthless if someone stole it or found it.
Your IMEI number is on the box or with the carrier you bought it from. IT won't help you find your phone but you can list it as lost or stolen. -
I accidentally restored my phone and lost a number of a friend who I just met. She called me so I had a missed call with her number. We also vaguely texted before the incident. Is there anyway to get the number back?
If you did not do a backup of the phone before this restore, while the number was on the phone, then you have lost it. Generally when you do a restore, the phone prompts you to perform a backup. Restore the phone from that backup.

I was recently sent a new Hub phone when I ordered BT Vision. Because of a Hub problem, I have only now got BB up and running again through my hub (its a painfully long story!).
I can't see anywhere either by post or by e-mail, that I have been sent a Hub phone number so I can't get started with it.
How do I get a Hub phone number?You do not always get given a Broadband Talk number, I am not sure if this actively promoted now days, it always used to be given as standard in the early days of the home hub.
I suggest you contact the service dept on 0800 800 150 and get them to confirm you have the facility if not get them to add it to your account, make sure you ask for a geographical number (01xxx) rather than a non geographical (050xxx)

My phone doesn't asks for PIN number
Hi everybody ! Since the 5.5.1 update that I made yesterday, my Xperia Z2 is not asking for the PIN number anymore, so I can't send messages, make calls etc.. I removed the SIM then replaced it, but it's not working. Plus, when I go to the settings / security, I can access to my SIM settings, but it's "in grey", I can't clic on it. I don't know what to do, do you have a solution ? Thank you !
It's 5.1.1 not 5.5.1
Try performing a system repair using PC Companion as this will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone and erase all data so best to backup before you begin
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP
