Install Seleq and go to C than system than copy mmcstore to Pc by infrared or edit it with some text editter your password will there only in case you have locked mmc by your own phone. Formatting will remove all data and there is no hope except going to Service center.
You need to format your phone but you will have to save all data and contacts some where else.
Use
*#7370#
to format phone.
Phone will ask for lock code.
Default code is 12345
remo your MMC before formatting for better results.
Also you will have to wait untill phone starts. Some time after formatting phone do not accept SIM not to worry and restart.
