Hi All,

Just got my new N73 off ebay - and I'd like to do a hard reset.
I know the code is *#7370# - but, it then asks me for a code number?

Any ideas what this is?
I've tried all the obvious ones - but no good.
Have done a search and can't find it either....

Any help much appreciated....
Thanks,
Paul

The code number it's asking for is the Phone Lock Code. The default code on Nokia handsets is 12345, however, the previous owner may have changed it.

By the way, the *#7370# code doesn't do a full reset (reformat) on the N73 - currently the code needed to do a full reset is not known. (none of the old codes / tricks work)

Balls - I tried 12345. Oh well, will ping the previous owner an email....
