Forgot your Nokia handset security code? Or you don't even have any idea what is your security code of second hand handphone because the previous owner has changed the code. For Nokia BB5 phone, you can regain the security code back by following this guide. Or, you can just reset your Nokia security code to default code, 12345. The guide below will shows you how to reset the security code.
Tools you will need:
- Nemesis Service Suite (NSS)
- Nokia PC Suite
- Data cable
Reset Security Code Steps:
- Install Nokia PC Suite
- Install Nemesis Service Suite (NSS)
- Connect your phone to your PC with data cable. If the phone ask for connection mode, choose default mode or PC Suite mode (But don't open Nokia PC Suite)
- Open Nemesis Service suite (NSS)
- Click scan for new devices button (on top right corner of NSS)
- Click Phone Info button.
- Click Scan button.
- Under Power Mode, click Local and then click Change button. At this part, your phone should restart, and you should see the text Local mode across your phone screen.
- Under Production Data Edit, click Read button. The textboxes should now contain values.
- Check the Enable check box beside Product Code.
- Click Write button.
- Select Tools button on top
- Click Factory Settings tab
- Tick Full Factory button and click Reset button.
- Final step, go back to Phone Info and click Normal then Change. Now your security code is 12345.
Note: If this guide doesn't work accordingly, you have to do some experimentation with the steps order. Check out how @Arvid had successfully reset the security code of his Nokia N82.
I tried to reset the lock code on my Nokia N82.
ReplyDeleteI got to step 7. When attempting to scan I got an error. I tried a few things, then spotted that on starting NSS it said that the "products" directory was missing. So I just added a folder called "products" in the main NSS directory. I tried again.
This time it found the phone and was able to complete step 8. The phone was now in Local mode.
However, as soon as I attempted step 9 - I got another error.
So this time I reversed the process a bit. I got to step 7 again all well and good. This time though I skipped step 8 and did not go directly to Local mode.
Instead I first did step 9. Clicked the "read" button under Prod. Data Edit. Bingo. The values popped up. I completed steps 10, 11, 12,13 and then got an error on 14.
I removed the battery to restart - planning to switch to local mode before moving to step 10 this time.
However, upon restarting, the phone displayed the default date/time and so I checked the factory default button, and indeed, the lock code had been reset to 12345.
Thanks so much for the original post and the link to the NSS software.
If anyone else has problems I recommend some experimentation with the order - it worked for me!
Thank you for the information. This will be very helpful to everyone. The written post was based on experimenting the Nokia 6280. So I guess the steps order may slightly different by different Nokia models. Anyway, I'm glad it works for you.
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem did it as per your recommendation and everything went smooth

ReplyDeletemy phone is aready loke, how can i do it
ReplyDeleteYou must be able to choose connection mode on your phone. Otherwise, it won't work.
ReplyDeletevery very very very tanks dear. i have unlocked my phone very easily by following above points.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
ReplyDeletemy name is surya i forgotten the lock nokia E63 i have tried by press of caps lock , space bar ,back space, and power button but it not accept the code 12345 please help me to unlock the phone
ReplyDeleteAnd Nokia wanted to charge me $50 for the honour of resetting the code when it was a firmware update from them that changed it!.. Thanks to all, it worked a charm on my N86 with the help of Arvid's finding.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that had me going around in circles for a while when NSS wouldn't connect is that you need to ensure you have all other Nokia software closed (eg: Ovi Suite, Software Updater, Nokia Link) or NSS won't connect even if the Virtual USB device loads normally.
That's a lot Nokia wanted to charge for such a simple process. Thank you very much for providing valuable advice. It certainly helps others.
ReplyDeleteIt seem not working. Please follow the reset security code steps. It works on @Nay 's Nokia E63.
ReplyDeleteit is not working for my nokia e63....some one please help me it is really urgent.....
ReplyDeleteThank you Boss, It works on my nokia e71 and now am using my mobile. But why we are facing the lock code probelm after installing their own (Nokia) firmware updation.

ReplyDeleteHello why E72 not working for reset security lock code by default please help me....blagenda@yahoo.com....tq
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm not sure whether it works for E72.
ReplyDeleteDid you try hard reset by holding capslock, space, backspace and power buttons? @blurrymcgee claims it will reset the security code to [a href="http://keyable.blogspot.com/2012/02/how-to-reset-nokia-security-code.html#comment-448384788"]12345[/a].
thanks for that sulution it's work it it's the best thank you very much
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure. Which Nokia device were you using?
ReplyDeletehey man you are awsome really i was just to take my phone to Nokia care tired of trying various passwords. This worked wonderfully for me. thanks a lot dude
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. That save you a few bucks. :D
ReplyDeleteI am a little confused :S does th phone have to be on when u press these buttons or off :S I have an n97 but i dnt remember the lock code....s the ock code and the security code the same thing?
ReplyDeleteHi @P12345, the lock code and security code are not the same thing. Your phone has to be on when pressing the buttons. Those buttons combination is to hard reset the phone.
ReplyDeletemy phone doesnot allow me to choose nokia mode, instead it ask for security code in the begging, so nss doesn't detects my phone.. tell an idea pls
ReplyDeleteIs your phone locked? This guide only works before the phone is locked.
ReplyDeleteyou are welcome,that works with my nokia 5310,with second procedure.
ReplyDeleteplease can you show me other options of nss,like format
Other than security code reset with NSS, I know changing product code with NSS. I can make a new post about it if you're interested.

ReplyDeleteit show me error while i scan my phone you tell me why it happens ???/
ReplyDeletepls hepl me
ReplyDeleteWhich Nokia handset are you using? Make sure you have installed PC Suite/Ovi on computer. It will be helpful if you can provide what error message you get while scanning your phone.
ReplyDeleteIf you get 'Scan for product....error' error message, you may use NSS pro which supports newer Nokia phone models.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, old version of pcsuite should be used to work nss correctly(
ReplyDeleteNokia_PC_Suite_6_84_10_3_eng_web.exe )
thanks man
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
ReplyDeletethanks dude it really works :)))
ReplyDeleteThank you for nice feedback. :)

ReplyDeletehow can i connect to the PC when my phone is locking and it just asking the security code. i couldnt turn the PC mode. please help me
ReplyDeleteIt won't work for your phone if it is locked because NSS requires Nokia Suite connectivity driver in order to read it.
ReplyDeleteyou are a star man, almost threw my phone in the bin, thanks so much it worked on my E63

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
ReplyDeleteworks like magic! Amazing! thank you! :D
ReplyDeletewhat about nokia x6?
ReplyDeleteI'm doubt that NSS supports newer Nokia X6 model because NSS has been discontinued years ago. NSS pro should be able to support Nokia X6.
