Setting up a lock code (N97)

How do I enable it so I'll be asked to enter it at every startup?At settings all I can do is change the lock code,and I did change it, but where is the option to enable it? I only see an option to enable the pin code request...Do I have to use this option? Because I don't have the pin code.
I just want to have a lock code request at every startup...
Thanks

The pin code is the 4 digit pin code for your sim card. Yo should have received it with your sim. If not contact your service provider. Once you have the code, you can then set Pin code request to "On". This means everytime you switch on the phone you will be asked to enter this pin. Next you also want to set Lock if SIM card changed to "Yes". Make sure you remember the lock code because the only way to reset it is to bring it to a Nokia Care Point.
With both the settings, what happens when someone turns on your phone is they get asked for the pin. If they dont have the pin they might decide to change the sim then tehy will be asked for the lock code.

  • How do I set up a lock code for my Nokia C2-02?

    Hi, I have a used Nokia C2-02 phone from a seller on eBay.
    I wish to protect my privacy so that other people cannot access my texts, etc.
    When I go to 'settings', 'security', and click on 'access codes', in order to set up a lock code,  the display says'change security code'.
    When I ckick on it, I get a request for my security code.
    Twice now I have keyed in'12345', which I take to be the default code.
    Each time I get an error message and the second time it said that I have only one more chance to key in the correct code.
    Perhaps the previous owner had a code, which I take to be the same as a security keyguard code.
    When I go to 'device' in 'settings', it says that the security keyguard is off.
    I can switch it on, but to activate it I again need to key in a code.
    Am I corect in thinking that either someone has alrerady set up a code or the default code is not '12345'?
    Also, What can I do to set up my own code?
    Fianally, What if I use a pin code? Will that protect my privacy?
    Do I have to get in touch with my network provider ( Tesco Mobile) in order to set it up?
    I'd appreciate any help anyone can give,
    Laurence

    If I used a  pin code instead, would it protect my privacy?
    would it stop those without the code reading my texts and so on?
    PIN Code is basically for the SIM card and not the phone. Talking of privacy, your phone will be fully explorable if the SIM card is removed, so PIN scenario is pretty wasteful. Majority of the phones only ask for the PIN code when the phone is started and register the SIM to the network only wen PIN is furnished.
    If It does not work I could find that I have locked the phone, which could necessitate sending it to the Nokia Care centre.
    This is where the online free service may come in. It claims that it can find the security mastercode for any individual phone, based on the IMEI number, which you access by keying in asterisk, hash, 06, hash, or by taking the back off the phone and looking inside.
    Armed with the 10-digit mastercode you key it in and it unlocks the phone.
    That, at least, is the claim, but on another mastercode site there's a warning that the mastercode works only for older models.
    I have my mastercode, but I don't know whether to take the chance.
    Does anyone have any views on this?.
    , Cheers, Laurence
    Unfortunately, these type of Master Codes do not work. If ever they worked, the phones would become too easy to break in. As far as I can remember, I have not seen any person with a claim that one of those Master Codes worked for them. Maybe they worked for very very old 1st gen devices from Nokia, but not anymore. The security code is based on what user enters in the settings and there doesn't exist any master code to over-ride that. If it would, Nokia Care should be making use of that instead refurbishing/flashing the phones in every case that called for Keyguard Code.

  • Set a second screen lock code for parents

    Can I set a second lock code to use on the lock screen to access my childs phone?

    There isn't a way to do that. With the phones that have Touch ID you could add a second fingerprint which would allow access (except that a passcode is still required when restarting).

    I’m having a problem to set up a password in 5800 XpressMusic. I know the default password is 12345, but I can’t change it. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue? Thanks in advance

    Try to lock your phone by entering default code. Check whether it's working or not.

  • IPod Nano 2nd Generation is requesting 4 digit code. I have never set a lock code. What is this and how can I get my Nano running again?

    iPod Nano 2nd Generation is requesting 4 digit code. I have never set a lock code. What is this and how can I get my Nano running again?

    There is no other way to bypass the combintation lock other than to connect the nano to iTunes and restore it to factory settings, erasing all content and settings from the iPod.

  • N97 Mini - Phone Data Lost when Lock Code is chang...

    Hi,
    I have changed the 'Lock Code' of my N97 mini under Settings>Phone>Phone Management> Security Settings> Phone and SIM Card> Lock Code. And to my surprise, after I changed the Lock Code, I found that all my contacts, messages and notes are lost. But Photos/Videos/Recorded files are available. I have tried all the ways but could not see the contacts/messages/notes/calendar entries. Unfortunately I donot have a back up of the data. Is there a way to restore the contacts/messages/notes on the phone?

    That won't work... reason being is you need the following requirements for the iPhone 4.
    Mac system requirements
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 10.1 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    iTunes Store account
    Internet access
    Windows system requirements
    PC with USB 2.0 port
    Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.1 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

  • N97 won't allow me to enter lock code

    I upgraded the firmware on my N97 to 2.1 the other day and have had no problems since. This evening, after a reboot (no new software installed), it won't allow me to enter my 5 digit lock code. The keys are unresponsive. I've tried removing the battery etc..., but it's still the same. I want to avoid a hard reset if possible, as there is some info that is not backed up. I'd be grateful for any suggestions?

  • Lock Code when turn on - 5800XM

    When I had v40 I had to tenter the Lock Code when I turned the phone on (something I did rarely so no problem).
    When I updated to v50 it doesn't ask for the Lock Code now. Any one know how I can set this to happen please?
    Mark

    I tried to paste something from the extended user manual, but it looked weird on the screen, so I've tried to make it look sensible.  I hope the following does the job:
    Select Menu > Settings and Phone > Phone mgmt. > Phone and SIM card. PIN code request — When active, the code is requested
    each time the device is switched on.

  • Currency setting in multiple company code.

    Dear all,
    we are having 3 company codes in one client.
    and we have to set the Currency setting for multiple company codes.
    Tcodes
    S_BCE_68000174 - Enter Translation Rates
    S_ALR_87003642 - Open and Close Posting Periods
    it is not allowing us to set the values at a same time for different company codes by different users
    it says " DATA LOCKED BY OTHER USER, ONLY DISPLAY MODE."
    Pls assist
    Thanks

    Ask for access to delete lock entries. If access is provided, use T code sm12 to delete the lock entries.
    @ Irfan you cannot do that. Only one user can use a table at a time.
    It is like using an ATM. Only one person can withdraw money at a time.

  • Forgot lock code on find my iphone. I lost my phone a few weeks ago and when it seems that it can never be returned i login to my account and put a code using find my iphone

    I Lost my phone at the office building with more than 10different company and thousands of employees. since no one returned the phone and the device was already turned off i tried logging in and use find my iphone to send a message. But after days since no one is returning it i tried putting passcode on lock mode... And who would have thought that after a week someone will call me and told me that she will return the phone. But unfortunately i forgot the lock code so i cant use it. I dont want to restore it since my photos and videos are not sync to my itunes. if only theres a way that it would only just require my apple id and not the 4 digit code

    There's no way to unlock it without restoring it.

  • How can I disable the lock code on my N8

    Decided to setup the mail for exchange on my N8 so I could see my work emails. Worked like a charm but after a couple of hours decided I didn't like being that contactable so deleted the mailbox.
    Now to the problem, during setup I was forced to enable the phone lock and had to pick a 7 digit alphanumeric code. Fair enough I thought and went ahead. When I removed the mailbox however the lock remained in place with the default auto time of 30 minutes. When I checked in Phone management there is no option to disable this lock so I thought I could at least change the default time to something bigger but when you try, it remains at 30 mins. You also can't disable the auto time as it pops up an error message saying can't unlock phone.
    Does anyone know if I'm missing something obvious here or is this something which can't be disabled once it's switched on? I've done a soft reset back to factory settings with no luck and the only other thing I can think of is re installing the firmware which seems a bit extreme.
    Would like to hope there is some way to have control over this. Can someone help?

    Which firmware your N8 having now? You can check firmware by choosing Call, then type *#0000#.
    My N8 works fine on security setting and able to define Phone auto lock period, by choosing Menu>Settings>Phone>Phone management>Security settings>Phone and SIM card>Phone auto lock period>User defined>Lock after(minutes)
    You will prompt to enter Lock code each time u define auto lock priod or enable/disable auto lock.
    Hope this can help you.

    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. 
    Best,

  • Problem With my E72 with invalid lock code

    Hi,
    I just configured a new exchange mail account. Prior to that I have configured a my previous firm mail exchange. I forgot the passcode. After setting up new account it asked for the lock code and i tried many time which reulted in data loss. I lost all my data in the phone and also I am not able to access my memory card. When I tried to connect to the phone via USB to my laptop(mass storage), to my surprise its is forcing me to format my data card in the phone.
    Can some one guide me if there is any possibility to access my data on the memory card?
    Thanks in advance!
