Phone: N73 (S60 3rd)
I updated my firmware, and after my phone reset i got asked for a password for my memory card, which i dont remember. so now im locked out and i didnt get round to backing it up, i really dont want to loose my music, pictures & videos.
I have searched for ways around but it seems pointless. i heard on other nokias (S60 1st & 2nd) you can just copy a file called "mmc store" from your phone to the PC and change it to a .txt document, and that contains the password. However this is not possible with the N73 (S60 3rd). I searched my N73 with SExplorer and that file doesn't exist.
Your also meant to be able to change the password by setting a new remote lock password, but again the n73 doesnt have remote locking.
If you put your miniSD in a card reader does it ask for a password? if so would it be possible to use a brute force password cracker to retrieve it? Is this possible? does anybody know?
Can anybody help me or point me in the right direction? Please
Kind Regards,

i have bought a card reader for the pc but when i enter my memory card it doesnt find it. any way around this? any ideas?
please help
mld
thr must be a way around this! :con?
ok. I downloaded F-recovery for miniSD & BadCopy Pro, among many other file recovery programs for memory cards.
Now, my pc doesnt see the card when plugged into the reader, however when i run a recovery program, it does see the card in the reader!
So i ran a recovery (on all the programs) but they come back with nothing as if the card is empty and has never had any data on it.
This must have something to do with the password protection on the card.
But if these programs do know the card is thr, that means it is possible to get access to it, right.
The password must be stored on the miniSD somewhere, just like on S60 2nd phones a file is created called mmcstore that contains the password. Might it be possible to extract the password from the miniSD? or bypass it somehow? or even remove it? is thr any type of programs around that are capable of doing any of this?
same problem with me also on N73 :frown: :frown:
