1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list.
2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone

3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is dead proceed with reflash if not, turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
re-flash - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the NokiaReset security code when it's forgotten? - 2.gif boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons

If these Reset security code when it's forgotten? - 2.gif2.gif are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service.

I have forgotten unlock code for my phone(n85). wad to do?


Hi

The default lock code is 12345.

If you changed it and forgot the security code please contact your device dealer. They will provide you the default security code so that you can open your phone.

While you get the security code,
device dealer will ask for your personal details to check whether the mobile belongs to you only. If they are satisfied with your answers they will provide with the security code

This security code is FREE. You no need to pay any sum to get the security code



Thank You
