Try the last 4 of your phone number, call your provider from a pay phone.

lol, sorry but that sounds like something I would do so I have to laugh

 

[apac]

what happens if someone calls you while it's locked?

 

[j00fek]

1234

 

[DaWhim]

if you changed that, you are pretty much SOL. try flush the firmware

Just keep trying different numbers. If its only 4 numbers it should only take a few hours...

Ha ha, self pwnage. Sorry man, that sucks. Take it to Cingular store or whoever your provider is and ask if they can help. There may be a secret "skeleton" unlock code that they can use to unlock it.

 

[SSSnail]

Call your provider, if you can prove that it's your phone, they'll tell you how to unlock it.

 

[munisgtm]

the phone lock prompt comes as soon as you power-up the phone , i mean instantly i tried 1234,1111,0000 nothing is happening and btw the code i set was 5 or 6 numbers long so entering every number is not possible

see if there's a way to do a hard reset of your phone. Look it up online/in your manual.

To do a master reset on my old phone (W800), I needed the code.

If it's 5 or 6 numbers.. good luck

i think ill contact cellphone shop, people there have some kind of special cable that connects to the cell and then they use it unlock and they also unlock sim-locked phones , i guess thats my only chance ...

:Q I didn't even know it was possible to put a lock code to prevent it from starting fully..

Why would you change the number to something you couldn't remember?

sounds like something I've done several times.

After lots of tries it's always turned out to be the last 4 digits of my number.

I'd figure it out, forget it, next time I'd be so frustrated because I'd know that I'd gotten it before, but couldn't remember it.

haha, it always happens when I'm trying to go to silent mode or call my voicemail, I hold the wrong button down and then the screen says "Phone Locked" and I'm just sitting there thinking "crap crap crap."

 

[puffff]

only 10000 possibilities? if you can try one every 5 seconds or so, it shouldnt take you longer than a day to guess your pin
