0 RECOVER A LOST/FORGOTTEN MMC PASSWORD.

There has been issue of people asking how they could possibly recover a forgotten mmc password,but few have gotten answers.

For S601st and some of 2nd phones, such as Nokia 3650, Nokia 6600 and Nokia N-Gage, the password is stored in a plain text file.All you have to do is follow these simple instructions.

*. First of all, you need to install FExplorer,a free file manager that allows you to browse through your S60 file system.
*. Next, launch FExplorer and you'll see a folder named c:/,open it & locate this file mmcstore.
*. Rename the file to mmcstore.txt and then open it. Your password will be among the several characters at the end of the file.N:B-THIS CAN ONLY BE USEFUL IF YOU DID SET A PASSWORD.

Apparently, Some people still have password on their memory card even though they never set it.This problem mostly surface on Nokia Eseries phones.

How to solve the problem? If, for some reasons, you activate remote lock option on your phone,it will change your memory card's password too.

Just for your information,remote lock option allows you to lock your phone by sending SMS to it.
It is a nice feature which helps when you accidentally leave your phone somewhere and you don't want other people accessing it.

You can activate this feature from Tools | Settings | Security | Phone and SIM | Allow remote lock menu.

The password of your memory card will be your remote lock message.
So, if you still remember your remote lock message, then try to unlock your memory card password using that message.

IF THIS STILL DOESN'T SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM,THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO FORMAT YOUR MEMORY CARD,WHICH MEANS EVERYTHING ON IT WILL BE DELETED!!!
