There are only 3 ways to unlock a PIN locked Garmin:
1 - Enter the correct PIN
2 - Take the unit to the location at which the PIN was set
3 - Send the unit back to Garmin. Be aware, however, if you are not the owner of record, Garmin will NOT return the unit to you.

My daughter is currently out
has she tried resetting the unit? the reset button is marked clearly, think you do it with a paper clip through a hole, if that doesn't work the battery has failed or the touch screen is defective or the hardware has failed for the touchscreen, any of these problems requires a trip back to Garmin service center for repair.

I cannot switch my c550 off,
Try resetting the unit. Take the faceplate off (there is a small depression under the top of the faceplate. Insert your fingernail and gently pull it forward). One the faceplate has been removed, you will see the reset button on the bottom right of the unit. Press this and see if it helps.

Help with my GPS garmin nuvi 260
You have a problem my friend. Either remember your pin or
Normal

false
false
false
MicrosoftInternetExplorer4
If you have a Garmin Lock on your nuvi
and you have forgotten your 4 digit PIN number you can unlock the device by
returning to your Security Location. The Security Location is the location that
you set when you first enabled the Garmin Lock on your device. Returning to the
Security Location will unlock your device. (Approximately 150 feet from that
location)
If you have forgotten your PIN and Security Location please contact Product
Support for assistance. Please note Garmin will require a copy of the receipt
and there will be a charge to unlock the device as this issue is not covered by
the warranty.

Suddenly I have a blank screen. Was working just
It sounds like this might be a battery problem. Have you tried resetting the unit? Turning the vehicle off should NOT shut the GPS off instantly. It should indicate that the external power was lost and ask if you want to continue on battery power (shutting off in 30 seconds if you do not reply). Is this what it did?

Software Update - Non-working Garmin Lock
Check to see if "Recent Selections" contain any of your favorites. You can then rebuilt Favorites from the Recent Selections. If the Recent Selections contain any of your favorite just select it and then select Save.

File deletion problem from Garmin c550
If your undelete program lets you undelete the _P3 folder, do it. Then try renaming it to MP3. See if this helps. This is the folder in which all of your music is stored. If it allows you to change the folder name, you should now see (and be able to delete) all of your music files stored on the GPS.

Maps Still Not Updated?
You are confusing map updates with POIs (Points of Interest). Garmin does not keep up with restaurant openings and closings, to the best of my knowledge. Updating your maps will give you the latest street information (such as new subdevelopments, one-way streets, newly opened bridges, etc.) but will not let you know that the KFC closed or that the Chalet de Alpina closed last year. Your POI information is current as of the initial programming of your unit. You can enter POIs manually, if you chose to do so, but they will only be good as long as you keep up with them.

Maps are available for purchase either at Garmin's web site, or from your local GPS retailer. Garmin now offers a lifetime map update for one price, which allows you up to 4 map updates per year.

Garmin c550
If it is the garmin lock, then you need to take the unit to your sercure area, and the unit will unlock. This should be where ever it was you set up the unit.
If you don't remember either. Then the unit has to go back to Garmin to be unlocked.
If It is locked up (Software) then remove the faceplate and press the reser button.
Hope this is of some help.

Need unlock code
No such thing as a "Default PIN" on the Garmin. The PIN is completely user set. If the unit is yours and you forgot your PIN, take the unit to the location at which you set the PIN and the unit will unlock automatically and you can reset the PIN. Otherwise, you can send the unit to Garmin to unlock. However, if they determine that you are NOT the owner of record, they will return the unit to it's rightful owner.

How to reset it
You have two options for resetting the unit (neither will reset the PIN, if that's what you are asking). There is a Reset button underneath the faceplate. On the top center of the faceplate is an indentation. Stick your fingernail underneath and pull it forward. Then, gently pull the faceplate off. The Reset button is on the right hand side. A Master Reset will ERASE ALL OF YOUR FAVORITES, but if you have no choice, press and hold the bottom right of the screen and press the power button. The unit should reset.
