Title: Mobile Phone Help
Post by: STFC4LIFE on Wednesday, May 21, 2008, 13:41:06
Right.......

Trying to get onto my old phone (Samsung D900).
I have completely forgotten the password to get onto my messages etc.
To change the password I need to type in the original password, which I don't know.

What can I do?

Is the password ( I assume you mean security PIN) on the phone, or the SIM card? I assume the phone otherwise you'd just whack a different SIM in?!

default password is : 00000000

If you ghave changed it, best google match  is as follows  (this is a full reset. I don't know if it'll kill the messages).

Try switching phone off > remove Sim Card > Power Phone back on > Type in *2767*2878#

his should now reset your codes to 00000000 again.

I thought you'd cocked up the old "boobless"/ "80081355" schoolboy calculator joke (google "calculator 55378008", I didn't make it up).

Perhaps you were too mature at school!

You were half right, read it again and you may feel a bit of a tit (or read a pair).

Yeah, I meant the security pin.
When you turn the phone off, take the sim out and turn it back on it just says insert sim.
Thanks though.

Can't you enter it wrong 5 times, get to the screen where it asks for a PUK code and then phone up your network for one?

Post by: STFC4LIFE on Thursday, May 22, 2008, 10:15:18
No, because it's a securtiy code for messages etc, and not a pin code to get onto the phone itself.

If there is an option to master reset you could try that. Will wipe everything though.
