Finding out Nokia 6230 security code? |

I've recently got hold of a Nokia 6230, which works fully (except for charging, but that's not the problem!). My problem is that a previous owner has changed the security code from the default '12345'. I got it off a seller on Ebay, who says he doesn't know what the code is (phone must be third hand then!)
The phone powers up and works as I say, as thankfully it doesn't ask for any security code on startup. I'd like to find a way to discover what the current security code is, so I can reset it back to default. I've tried a couple of programmes that connect via the Irda port that supposedly find out what it is, but keep getting 'not connected' or 'not supported' error messages.
Is there a 'reset code' for the phone? I've heard that *#7370# is some kind of reset code, will that reset my security code? Any other ways of finding out what this damned code is?

Get the Nokia Service Centre to flash it.
*#7370# only works with s60 devices.

It would cost me probably 2 have it flashed at a service centre. Looking for a home solution if poss, preferably doing it via the ir port.

You can format the phone by doing the following:
Turn phone off.
Press and hold *, 3, Talk.
While still holding those buttons turn on phone.
Continue to hold until phone displays formatting...
thats to format it but am not sure it will reset the code. i have also heard you can do it via cable which you dont have.

How can the security code be calculated from the imei? Suppose i change it from the default 12345 to, say 54321, how does the imei no. help?
Am i missing something here? |

Nokia unlock (usercode). This program is part of new Dejan box. She calculate 8-digits unlock code for any Nokia models. Need autorization by Nokia. If you need unlock code - send request to acb2003@mail.ru . Price 6$ code |

Hello.
I found a Nokia 6230 on the street. I put in a SIM card in it and it asks me for a security code. I tried the default '12345' but it doesn't work..it says "code error". Can you suggest something please.
Thanks in advance |

May be best handing it in to lost property first before claiming that phone, it'll become yours after a month anyway if it's unclaimed, but there's a mastercode generator over at Nokiafree, link's in their top banner.
