Author security code nokia 3220

Is there any way to reset the security code on a 3220?

I forgot my security code.

I called T-Mobile and was told that Nokia could flash the phone for me and
to call them.

I called Nokia and the tech person that I talked to told me that this model
can not be flashed and I would have to send back to Nokia to be reset.

Can anyone help?

If I have to send the phone in to be reset, do they need the sim's card in
it or can I take it out before sending it in?

Thanks in advance

They can, but it doesn't need flashing to reset the security code.

What he actually meant is that the service centre you called is quite a low
level one (level one probably) and can't do the job

I'm not sure if F-Bus by Maestro supports the 3220, but if it doesn't,
anyone with access to a decent fashing solution (UFS, Twister, JAF, Griffin
etc.) would be able to reset the sec code in a few seconds - try a local
independent phone shop that does unlocks.

No. If the phone gets sent back to Nokia they send just the phone and
remove SIM cards, fascias and batteries prior to sending them.

BTW, please don't cross-post to so many groups in future.

FU's set to alt.cellular.nokia

Did you ever change it from the default setting? If not, try 12345.
