alright let me explain my situation briefly

bought a fone off ebay and received it yesterday, and spent all day playing around with it.

read somewhere that it was a good security measure to set the phone to autolock, so gave the fone a lock number and set it all up

so im at work and have to unlock my fone several times during the day to use it and i have no problems at all

however as soon as i come home and want to use the fone it no longer accepts the lock code... ive tried several times to use the code i gave it and the default code (12345) but everytime it just says incorrect code....i even get as far ass the message " lock code entered incorrectly... code will unblock in 5 mins"

please please please could someonw help me out as im sick already thinking that i cant use my new fone!

First....try using search, its better than waiting. As fas as your problem goes, the only way to do this is calling your operator and they should give you another code if the code you are talking about the sim card code. If its the phone code, then I'm afraid you'll have to go the nearest NSC and have your phone reflashed.

Cheers,
