The question of how to reset or find my password for my memory card pops up alot.
I have found a couple of programs that might be able to help you.

MMC Medic

MMC Password Finder

**I have no control over these files, nor have i tested them to see if they work.

[psychomania]

Great idea! This thread should be made a sticky!

[adamf]

Also another one here too.

MMC Pwd

Its useful to install this file onto your handset BEFORE you do an upgrade, the program displays contents of the mmcstore file where the password is hidden shows you the code.
Incase the update asks for password, you will now have a ntoe of it.

Hi there,
well I tested these files and for me it is of no use. because
"MMC Medic" is a formate utility for currupted MMC's, through a
"MMC Card Reader", while "MMC Password Finder" is a sis file so may be it is useful for symbian phones, but it is useless for java based phones, as I have only "Nokia 6230i". another post in this thread is mentioned a utility "MMCpwd", but I could not find that file on its website.
If any one knows about a utility to find the lost MMC password for NOkia 6230i, Please tell me.

Here is another program i found that may be of some use.

MMC Password Breaker

[friedbrains]

this trick is for finding MMC Password only and works with older S60 devices:

1) Install and use any file manager application like FileExplorer, etc.

2) Go to C:\system\ folder and locate a file called mmcStore.

3) Send this mmcStore file to your PC and then change its extension to .txt.

4) Open the file using Notepad and look for your password


hope it helps, cheers!

I have same problem, my E70 phone asks password for a memorycard. I has newer before asked it and I have not but password. Odd bahaving?

I tried all those three program you suggeded, but non of them were not able to Install to E70. Istallation was not supported by mobile. What can I do? Memory card is 2 GB mini SD.

[gorge]

Hey, that message from "johnxuster" was an ad.

I found a solution, that works. I bought a new memory card! They are cheap, less than 10 euros. I am happy to have backup of my card. Remeber that E70 supports only 2 Gb cards, not bigger.

I have wondered why card was locked? Just before it happened, I loaded some games from Nokia Mosh. Could it be that some of those programs made card locked? So be carefully when installing softwares from Nokia Mosh! I do not dare to use it any more.

Ok these programs are only compatible with the S60 phones. I have this problem with my nokia 5310 expressmusic with my micro SD card. The update destroys the memory card (i dont know how but have read rumors that it destroys a file which is needed). So the only way to fix it is to buy a new one , or as i am doing complain to nokia because their free update has broken a 2g memory card that i paid for, its basically robbery.

I've found another tool that may work.

*MMC Tool
*Not a Nokia site. Takes you to another website.

It does not seem to be able to read the code but does back up, format, restore and copy any memory card.

Good luck.

[keekwoon]

i wonder if this might helps...

me too had the same problem. i once formated my phone and found that my memory card was lock with a password. Same thing was that i did not set a password. Finally after so many trial and error, i managed to entered the password as the exact name of my memory card.

Sounds stupid but might wanna give it a try. Cause i remembered i renaming my memory card to e.g. aBcDe and i tried the name and it works!

[jaiprasad54]

I have nokia 5300, my memory card locked(it asks for password) when i give full restore settings to my phone. So how would i know the password. All this software are for symbian they are not for nokia s40. What this phone user can do. As password sets automatically so nokia should know the password. This is also disadvantage that nokia s40 has over s60. Nokia also should help nokia s40 phones. Plz

Just to let you guys know that any respectable "mobile-locksmith" will be able to atleast wipe the card and remove the password ..

hi all!!!
i have N73 i bymyself update and now my old memorycard requires passwod!!!!

plz HELP!!!!

[prabhu15sep]

Hi Frnz,

I too faced the same problem and all the above suggestions went in vain.

But managed to find a solution though. Actually the memory card gets corrupted after the update

and so it requires the password. All the phones ask for a password to format it.

I tried with the Nokis E71, it din ask for any password to format and the format was successful.

But the sad part it, i was not ble to retrieve any data before the format.

But aleast i  din have to buy a new one.

U all people can a give a try too.....
