Somebody HELP ME!

This is an emergency - does anyone know if its possible to get through the device code request when you put a new sim card into the P800? I've sold my P800 and i can't remember the damn code!

Come on, one of you genius's must know how's its possible to change/bypass this code. So far by best response has been to get the phone back from its new owner, using my own sim card which shouldn't lock it out, then do a format on drive c, but will that leave the phone dead or will it be back to "out of the box" settings?

a full format by putting in the secret code in flip closed mode will format your whole c drive, but if you go into control panel and then choose the option their, it will only reset the settings to default.

Yeah you mean the "Master Reset" option.. i tried that before i got rid of it but it needs you to type in the code that i dont know! How ironic!?

get your handset flashed at carphonewarehouse or something like that, it will reset the whole phone fully

just been and done that... thanks for the advice anyway!! I'll remember that! And for all you guys, DON'T forget your passwords!
